Test your knowledge of wine with a blind wine tasting facilitated by our sommelier. Guests will be broken up into groups and will sample two different wines (a red and a white). The wine bottle will be placed in a brown bag to conceal the label and bottle shape. Guests will have 15 minutes to guess the continent, country, region, grape and year of each wine. After the game, enjoy a tour of our awardwinning Wine Cellar, or combine The Wine Educator with Blind Wine Tasting Game for an extra fee. Activity is hosted on property at Grand Cascades Lodge.

Teams will work with a local beekeeper to build a bee box with supplied materials. The beekeeper will share fun facts about how a bee colony develops, how honey is made, as well as how bees are critical to local agriculture and the food chain. The completed bee boxes will be donated to a local farm and become the new home of a bee colony. As a thank you for supporting the local bee population, your group will receive souvenir jars of sweet honey from your sponsored hive at a future date.

Gather your group together by the "Glice" rink at the Crystal Springs Clubhouse for some fun and friendly competition with the winter themed sport of curling.

We'll stop along the way to get priceless pics of your team with the goats!
