Twillingate

We stayed 3 days in Twillingate. On the first we took a few hikes, one by the Lighthouse on Crow Head and a second on Burnt Island Tickle. Our second day was spent on Change Island, which I covered in an earlier post. The last day was one to relax; it was raining so we visited a local winery and then after lunch we spent the afternoon at the B&B in repose. 

As both Twillingate and Change Island are on the North Coast, and the Labrador Current, icebergs regularly float by. One floated into the harbour on the second day and lodged itself into the seafloor in front of the B&B.

In celebration of the event we bought a bottle of iceberg wine from the local winery. They have a wide selection of wines made from local fruits: blueberries, raspberries; baked apple; partridge berries; rhubarb and various combinations. They vary in sweetness from very dry to something suitable as a desert wine. I have tended to shy away from non-grape wines, but these were quite good and the range of offerings seemed to have something for every taste. In retrospect, grapes are fruits too so it may be a bit snobbish to elevate one over the others.
