Wine and Spa and…Cars?

September 28, 2009 by Jen

spirit_ridge.jpgSee that picture? Tomorrow, that’s where I’ll be. I leave for three days in the Okanagan Valley and I’m staying at the Spirit Ridge Vineyard Resort & Spa. Three whole days of exploring this beautiful area, visiting vineyards and relaxing at the spa. I have never been to this part of the country but I have heard it is absolutely gorgeous. So, thanks to the folks at GM Canada for their invitation to the launch of their new 2010 Buick LaCrosse and Cadillac SRX, I will get a chance to explore this region and test drive these new vehicles while enjoying the beautiful scenery.

I am not especially knowledgeable about cars but, like most moms, I
know what I need. I am very interested in the new SRX because I
currently drive the 2005 and love it. People are often surprised to
learn that Cadillac makes a car that is family friendly but out of all
of the cars we have ever owned this one is by far our favourite. This
car has the feel of a luxury vehicle with beautiful leather interior,
huge sun roof, and all the bells and whistles but all of the practical
things too. There is a hatchback to a large storage area, cup holders
and storage pockets in the backseat, and, in our model, an optional 3rd
row of seating. I was disappointed to hear that the 2010 version does
not have this option so I will definitely be inquiring about that.

2010_Cadillac-SRX_02.jpgStay tuned for my post on these two new cars and whether they are a good option for families to consider when buying a new car. Also, stay tuned for my travel review on the Okanagan Valley.

Oh, and congratulations to Julie and Malgray winners of the tickets to see Cirque Du Soleil’s OVO!

    how fun! the spa looks fab, and i love driving new cars. i’m curious to hear about your experience with these cars. my family only ever drove GM cars when i was growing up and i have a soft spot for big American cars – though i know that stereotype is obviously outdated now!

    Oooh you are soooo lucky to be able to go there. It looks wonderful. How on earth did you get to be a test driver? My hubby would really like that. Enjoy your self and don’t forget to relax.

    I am greener than the grass in that photo of the resort. I love the Okanagan, and this is the PERFECT time to be going. Relax, drink lots of fine wine, tour a winery (sooooooo worth it!) and enjoy!
