You and your best canine friend are invited to a party on The Lakeshore Wine Route! In its fourth season, Unleashed is where wine and animal lovers can unite and raise money for the BC SPCA. This year’s event is Saturday, May 5, 2018 from noon to 4:00 pm.

Enjoy treats for both humans and dogs along the wine trail and take part in fun pet-friendly activities. For a donation, visitors can enjoy canapés and wine tastings at each stop. The suggested donation to the animals is a minimum of $20. Don’t forget to get a ‘Pawsport’ at one of the stops to enter into a prize draw.

Here is a list of the wineries participating:
