Nesting Eagles at Muse Winery

We just got these great shots from photographer Kay Steer who was visiting Muse Winery just a few weeks ago.  This photo of one of the parents in the nest next to the vineyard was so wonderful we wanted to share it with everyone!  The eagles are visible from the Bistro terrace and are constantly flying back and forth to the nest.  We don't know how many eaglets yet but we're watching...

Thanks for sending these along for us to share Kay!

Studio Tour June 9 & 10th

Fingers are crossed...it looks like the sun will shine for the Studio Tour this year! 

We've got Tour Maps at the Winery for you to follow for this annual self-guided Studio Tour sponsored by the CACSP .  There are a total of 26 studio/venues for you to visit on the tour.  We live in a beautiful area and you'll be able to take in the scenery and wonderful art, all in one weekend!

This Arts Council does such a fantastic job on these tours, their members range past the Saanich Peninsula.  We'll have Pauline Olesen and Barry Tate from Piers Island, Mary Kennedy and David Hunwick from Victoria and Terry Venables from the Peninsula.  Artists will be bringing you their newest works in glass, acrylic and giclees, cold cast bronze and custom gold & sterling silver jewelry by Goldsmith Terry Venables. 

The artists are in attendance throughout the show to answer your questions on their craft and there will be a demonstration and display of works in progress as well.

Here's a small taste of some of the work you might see, Westcoast paintings by Barry Tate, fused glass work by Pauline Olesen and coldcast bronze sculpture by David Hunwick.  Much more to see a course...Mary Kennedy's Eastcoast and Southwest inspired paintings and precious original gold & silver jewelry by Terry Venables. 

Bistro Muse will be open and in full swing, so you might like to make a lunch reservation in advance. 

For Bistro Muse reservations you can call 250-656-2552 or email
