2020 Cowichan Cruise

Vancouver Island drive

About this event

Mid-August Cowichan Cruise - Cidery/Distillery/Lunch

Join us in keeping the momentum alive with what’s worth celebrating about the Cowichan Valley.  Winding roads, green traffic lights (well, not many traffic lights) and exploring two places we haven’t been before including a cidery and a distillery. This mid-August Cowichan Cruise winds along some familiar and a few less travelled roads. Let’s go – go – go!
