The story of Château des Charmes begins over five generations ago with a family that traces its roots to the Alsace region of France and the vineyards of French Algeria. In these foreign lands, the ancestors of Paul Bosc began a heritage of fine winemaking that would serve the Bosc family for generations to come. This tradition of excellence continues today in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake where Paul Bosc and his family carry on this rich heritage of meticulous vinification by harmonizing science and art.

SATURDAY LUNCHEON & AFTERNOON AGENDA
(No business sessions Saturday afternoon)
Time: 12noon – 1:30pm
Location: Georgian Ballroom (Queen’s Landing Hotel)
Three OPTIONS for Saturday Afternoon:
i) Play: The Doctor’s Dilemma
Time: 2:00pm- 4:30 pm
Location: Shaw Festival (4 minute walk from the hotel)
The Shaw Festival produces and presents the work of George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950) and playwrights writing anywhere in the world during, or about, the era of Shaw’s lifetime.
The Doctor’s Dilemma: A doctor who has discovered a lifesaving cure must make an impossible decision. Who should he treat: a kindly colleague who serves the poor, or an extremely talented but unscrupulous young artist, who also happens to have a beautiful young wife? When there’s only room for one more, who can he afford to save? The Doctor’s Dilemma is Bernard Shaw’s comic exploration of the medical establishment and the value of art.
ii) Winery Tour
Time: 1:45 pm-5:30 pm (buses provided)
Location: Three wineries
Get a glimpse behind the scenes of the magic of wine-making in the Niagara region. We will be visiting a small, medium and large winery on this tour.

Pillitteri Estates Winery is the largest estate producer of Icewine, and last but not least…
Jackson-Triggs Niagara Estate Winery will be our last stop. A state of the art gravity- flow assisted winery that reveals one of the most technologically advanced facilities in Canada. All tours will end with a wine-tasting…of course, and a chance to browse and shop in the boutique.
