Vancouver To Do’s Curated By GLV
It’s well into June and things are getting warmer! We’ve been able to hop onto some patios and just checked out the new Westin Bayshore’s H Tasting Lounge Patio on the seawall in Coal Harbour last night and are thrilled that there’s some shade so we don’t melt! AND the food and cocktails are so very well crafted too! Here’s a few other things we think should be on your radar this week and in the near future.
To Sip BC Tree Fruits Cider Co. Broken Ladder, Rose
BC Tree Fruits Cider Co. launched the fourth Broken Ladder premium craft cider product, Rosé. Joining the current Apples, Apples & Hops and Pears & Peaches, Rosé is an authentic cider that contains 100% apples and cherries and is fresh and fruit forward with notes of sour cherries and hibiscus flower with a deep pink colour. It’s PINK and DELICIOUS!
