A Kelowna-based tour company is ready to take people on some wine adventures that will help a daycare build a new play space.

Vivid Tours announced earlier this month that it has partnered with Lake Country’s Elowyn daycare. Vivid is offering steeply discounted Lake Country wine tours to community members over the next four weekends, and all proceeds will go towards Elowyn’s goal of raising $40,000 for a new outdoor play space.

“We couldn’t think of a better initiative to get behind and support than helping to create a better outdoor space for the little ones in our community,” Vivid Tours founder and director Kevlynn Loubier said in a press release.

“When we heard about the need, we knew we had to find a way to help out. It’s so important that children have a safe outdoor space to enjoy and just be themselves, and we know this is something our community can rally behind.”

The tours are normally $159 per person, but Vivid has reduced that price to $50. The tours will be held Feb. 19, Feb. 26, March 5 and March 12.
