We invite you to kick back, relax and take a virtual journey to The Fort Wine Co's award winning fruit winery via a very entertaining multimedia slideshow.

If you have never seen a slideshow like this one, you are in for a treat. The fusion of music, images and text means that you are essentially watching a short movie, without the difficulty of internet delivery of a massive file, like those generated by video.

You'll learn about the history of the winery, tour the cranberry bogs, see how our wine is made, and get to know more about us and our very special products.

The tour runs just under 4 minutes and you can exit the show at any time by pressing ESC on your keyboard.

The slideshow file is 6.5MB in size. On a fast (ie cable) connection download time should be less than one minute. On a slow (ie dialup) it will be considerably longer, and your patience will be required. You can minimize the downloading screen and continue browsing through the site while you are waiting for the file transfer to finish.

The (very cool) program used to create this slideshow unfortunately creates shows that can not be viewed on a Mac. We apologize for this.

Your computer needs to be equipped with a sound card to be able to hear the music that runs through the show. Ideally, you should close down all programs while running the show, to ensure seamless delivery. You will also need to resize your desktop to 1024 X 768, if you didn't already when entering this site. It's easy: Here are easy instructions on how to do that.

Your computer will ask you whether you should Open the file, or Save Target As.

Select Save Target As, and save it to your computer. A good place to save it to is on your desktop, so you can delete it off your computer easily when you are finished viewing it.

Your computer will show a file transfer screen. Download time should be very quick for people on broadband, and significantly longer for people using dialup internet access.

Once the file is downloaded, you should run it through your virus checker. Although the file is clean from our end, it is always a good idea to virus check a downloaded file before opening it.

Finally, right click on the icon on your desktop that says Fort Wine Co., and select Open.

We hope you enjoy the show.
