Perhaps one of British Columbia’s best kept secrets is the incredible wine we have. Why is it a secret? Due to BC’s liquor regulations, very little of the local wine actually leaves the province. Possibly BC’s most recognizable wine is icewine. Grape varieties from merlot to chardonnay remain on their vines well into fall and winter where they then freeze. Once the temperature of the vineyard reaches -10 degrees Celsius and the grapes have had several hours to freeze, they are then pressed. This process delivers a uniquely concentrated flavor and an excellent dessert wine. BC is more than dessert wine country though. With the many climates throughout the province, there is also an abundance of local wine to be found in the Okanagan. Undoubtedly the heart of BC’s wine county, the Okanagan Valley produces a variety of extraordinary chardonnays and merlots in the south while the slightly cooler northern areas produce pinot blanc and Riesling. Elite Limos does indeed offer limousine or private car service to the Okanagan for winery tours. If that’s too big of an adventure, no worries. The greater Vancouver area hosts several wonderful wineries too! Fraser Valley wineries offer wine tours and tastings that should not be overlooked. We are happy to provide chauffeured car service to any of the local wineries for your convenience. Doing a wineries tour? Then you certainly shouldn’t be driving. Call us to discuss the plans of your wine tour and we can coordinate car service for your event. FUN FACT: 20 MILLION litres of wine is produced each year in British Columbia!

Whether you’re hosting guests from out of town, you’re a new visitor or resident to Vancouver or you’re simply a local wanting to enjoy a “staycation,” sightseeing in Vancouver has something for everyone. Vancouver sightseeing is nothing short of spectacular. And with so much natural beauty in this city, why not experience a Vancouver City Tour in a relaxed and stylish atmosphere? Elite Limo’s has just the right sightseeing vehicles too. For smaller, more intimate Vancouver sightseeing adventures, perhaps choose a stretch limousine. For larger parties traveling in groups or perhaps with small children and strollers, a luxury van may be the way to go. Making a trip up to Whistler Village? Our luxury SUV’s will allow you to sit back and enjoy the picturesque Sea To Sky Highway until you reach your destination. Here are our Top 3 Vancouver Sightseeing Spots that should definitely be on your list: Capilano Suspension Bridge: North Vancouver’s suspension bridge will both wow and possibly terrify you. Let’s face it, those heights and that bridge crossing may cause guests to sit on the sidelines but trust us, the bridge is more than safe and more than amazing! While there, enjoy all of the photo ops along the breathtaking Cliff Walk or try the Treetop Adventures for kids and adults of all ages. Stanley Park: no Vancouver sightseeing tour would be complete without cruising the sea wall, enjoying the Vancouver Aquarium or viewing the park via horse-drawn vehicles. Spend the day making stops and taking photos throughout the park as your chauffeur acts as tour guide. Fun fact: In 2014, Stanley Park was named the “top park in the entire world” by TripAdvisor. Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden: voted The Worlds Top City Garden by National Geographic, this garden was the first classical Chinese garden to be built outside of China. It’s perfect Vancouver attraction year round as it’s stunning regardless of which season it is. Stroll along the covered pathways or get in on one of the free guided tours. Be sure to stop and take time to enjoy some traditional Chinese tea. Elite Limo provides Vancouver sightseeing limousine service all year round. Call us today to get started. |
