The Butchart Gardens is one of the world's premier floral show gardens. Jennie Butchart began to shape this magnificent 55-acre landscape in 1904 from her husband Robert's abandoned limestone quarry. The result was the dramatic Sunken Garden, a reflection of the early 20th century beautification movement and an exceptional achievement in Canadian gardening history.

There is an emergence of small craft breweries and spirit producers who are challenging the wine industry. As wonderful as it is to sip a glass of wine, sometimes you need a change. This excursion will take you out of the path of the crowds and bring you to a beautiful peninsula of rolling hills with water views everywhere. It is here, in the lush area just a short ride from Victoria, that you will have a chance to talk to your private chauffeur about life in this lovely country and what they drink at night.
