We were about to leave Summerland on our way north when eagle eyed B spotted flags flying off the road to the north. Making the quickest U-turn humanly possible we zipped back to check them out. It turned out that they were each and every Canadian provincial and territorial flag, the 10 provinces and the 3 territories. As the vineyard of the Back Door Winery was gated we could only shoot from the west end, but B manage to get shots of all the flags sufficiently unfurled that we could later identify each one. From near to far, they are:

Ontario - Quebec - Nova Scotia - New Brunswick - Manitoba
Northwest Territories - British Columbia - Prince Edward Island
Yukon - Alberta - Saskatchewan - Newfoundland & Labrador - Nunavut

Not knowing anything about Back Door Winery, I decided to check it out. It turns out that the story of how the winery came to be is quite a good read. You can read their story HERE.
