Last weekend was spent in Whistler celebrating Desiree's upcoming wedding! Crazy that the wedding date is just around the corner!
Desiree got a nice outfit to wear. haha
Our first stop was Domaine de Chaberton, a winery in Langley. We got a tour of the winery and a tasting and it was great. It's always interesting to see how different wineries function. And to try their wine as well. I really enjoyed one of the whites we tried.

The wine vats.
Joelle told me if you drink out of the glass sideways, you can taste it better. I asked her to model it for me.
We drove up to Whistler in a limo which was pretty fun. I've never been in a limo before so it was fun to drive a few hours there and a few hours back in it!
Once we arrived in Whistler, we hung out at our hotel for a while. Then we went to Bearfoot Bistro for dinner.
The restaurant was really cool. Lots of cool features. We even went into the basement cellar where you can sabre off a champagne bottle with a sword.
They also had a cold vodka room where all the bottles are directly in solid chunks of ice. Apparently it's minus 24 degrees in there. All evening we would see people going in with their parkas.
The downstairs cellar
After dinner, everyone went out on the town. I didn't stay out too late as it's not really my scene, but it was fun hanging out with everyone. And the few of us that went back to the hotel earlier had a great evening and a good chat, followed by a wonderful breakfast in the morning before catching our limo back.
All in all a fun weekend, and great to celebrate with Desiree. And the drive there and back is always so incredibly beautiful! Only 2 more weeks until her wedding! I am now off to my dress fitting, so hopefully it fits! :)
