"Vanessa is a very special person:" Victoria Butterfly Farms lends a hand after Colombia earthquake leaves butterfly farm owner & employees without homes 

On this week's show, Diogo Lopes, Chief Winemaker at the AdegaMãe winery in Portugal, joins us to discuss how AdegaMãe has blended the old with the new to become one of the most exciting Portuguese wineries in the export market. The family-run winery was founded in 2010 by one of the world's largest cod fisheries and is located just 8 kilometres from the Atlantic Ocean. We discuss the biggest benefits and challenges of growing grapes so close to the Atlantic. Then we are joined by Stephen Leroux, CEO of Charles Heidsieck, as we learn more about the famous champagne house founded in Reims, France, in 1851 by Charles-Camille Heidsieck, later to be known as "Champagne Charlie". Then we head to the South Okanagan for a sparkling chat with Jacq Kemp, Winemaker at Foxtrot Vineyards, who discusses the Boyd family’s (new owners) commitment to producing sparkling wine and top-flight chardonnay and pinot noir on the Naramata Bench. From the Naramata Bench, we head to the picturesque Okanagan Falls and Green Lake region to speak with Daniel Bibby, Owner of Nighthawk Vineyards. This family-run business is setting the pace for its wines, restaurant, and incredible Luxury Tent House Suites, a one-of-a-kind luxury experience immersed in nature.
