As we transition from the sweet memories of summer and into the golden moments of fall, we’re looking forward to hiking through the larches, enjoying crisp rounds of golf on our pristine courses, and finishing every epic adventure with a glass of something local and delicious. As a celebration of fall and all of the local establishments that make our post-adventure cheer so memorable, Tourism Kimberley and Cranbrook Tourism have partnered with The BC Ale Trail to create a Tasting Passport that highlights some of the best drinkeries in the region.
