with Murray Groom ~ May 2 to 4, 2013
During the annual Okanagan Spring Wine festival come explore the spirituality of wine through story and tradition, through tasting and testing, through reflection and sacred pause. The hospitality of Naramata Centre will provide a home base from which you can add your own regional tours and tastings to the two-part program led by Murray Groom.
If you are interested in attending this program, please call: 250.496.5751 or 1.877.996.5751 ext. 201. Email: [email protected].
We will then advise you as to when registration opens.
Murray enjoys wine. His pleasure over the spirit of wine is tempered by a Methodist conscience that also honours the soul of the grape. As a priest, he knows the sacramental power of the cup; as a theologian, he derives much food for thought from the images of the vine and the fruit of the vine in Judeo-Christian tradition. Above all, Murray appreciates the communion of folk who gather to consider the nature of blessing. Murray lives on Vancouver Island in the second most productive wine region in BC, outside the Okanagan Valley.
