Ontario’s Niagara wine country will bee beer country this holiday Victoria day long weekend, as thousands are expected to attend  the Kurtz Orchard’s “Bittersweet” tasting event.  I say forget about opening the cottage when you can open a beer this weekend and be privy to BEEGrrl’s up close and personal bee and honey chats.  BEEGRRL will be on site all day Saturday and Sunday to answer all your questions about the birds (maybe) and the bees (definitely).

The event is rain or shine and a day pass is just $15 with $5 tastings.  Get five and it’s a deal at $20.  Each evening there is a dinner and a movie, plus live music by Serena Pryne & the Mandevilles.  Bee sure to buzz on over to the orchards at 16006 Niagara parkway, Niagara-on-the-lake.  Any questions?: call 905-468-2937 or email the Kurtz family at:  info@kurtzorchards.com
