Burrowing Owl is a place to end a day of wine touring and offers fantastic food and wine combined with luxurious accommodation.

We stayed at Burrowing Owl Guest House this week and it was excellent. The 10 large comfortable rooms with balconies overlooking the pool and vineyards are an excellent base for touring some of the best wineries in Canada.  The big treat with staying here is getting to eat dinner in the Sonora Room and having access to their Library Wines.  You can eat drink and be merry and walk to your room afterwards.  Definitely the good life.  We started with a Caesar cocktail made Silver Sage Chili Infused Ehrenfelser.  I may have to take the long way home to get a bottle of this stuff.

We both had the Tuna Nicoise Salad for dinner.   Mixed greens and balsamic reduction with fingerling potatoes, red and golden beet with dots of beet reductions. Perfect pieces of Albacore.  It was one of the best I've eaten.

We rarely eat the same thing but the Cioppino passed our table and looked and smelled so good we both ordered it.
Tuna, salmon, muscles, clams, scallops in a rich broth with toasted bread and a truffle aioli.  I won't show a picture of the bowls with every drop of broth mopped up.  It was FANTASTIC.

Now about those library wines.  There were 4 vintages available and our server recommended the 2006 Pinot Noir.  It was an excellent match with both the salad and the cioppino.

I would highly recommend a visit to the Sonora Room even if you can't stay the night.  They serve lunch as well.   It was our 3rd time eating here and we will go again.  Spending the night is even better.  Cheers!
