Okanagan WINERIES
We are in the heart of many amazing local wineries! Plan a day of wine tours and tastings - many within walking distance!
This winery is one of our favourites - I love their white blend called Social - but stop by and pick your favourite! They have a cute little picnic area behind their winery and to-go charcuterie in their fridge to have a little bite! Cute little gift shop too!

One of the oldest wineries in our area and probably also the best known - amazing dining area with an excellent menu and in my opinion, one of the best views on the whole lake! Sunsets are amazing! Order one of their wine flights so you can sample a few of their amazing wines!

Block One is my personal favourite dining experience for a winery in the north Okanagan - it’s about a 15 minute drive from our home and reservations are recommended. Check to see if they still have a happy hour event because that’s also a fun thing to do in the afternoon and usually a great deal!

One of our favourite hikes - a quick drive gets you to the base but be prepared for some steep areas - it is a HIKE - but the views of all 3 local lakes makes it worth it - if it’s hot - start early and take water -
