Interesting place. In the summertime, it is quite a bit cooler up in the mountains. Lots of mosquitoes so be prepared. The lake is nice, we swam in it with no problems. Very scenic forest trails and not too many people. No services there so expect to have everything you need if you’re staying overnight. A rustic, beautiful hike to a lake in a park dating back to 1938 created by natural glaciers much earlier.

This park is quiet and relatively remote, and is all the better for it. Winter nordic trails are gentle walking trails in the summer giving access after two to three kilometres from the main, gravel, road. The lake is large, though sadly only about 30% is protected in the park. At the east end there are several Sandy beaches separated by rocky foreshore. And that's it! There are no services at all. Yay!

Snowflake loop is a wonderful novice snowshoe trail. Easy drive up access.

Pros Beautiful, lots of birds, paths and trails around the lake and tons of spots to fish. Cons Lots of day use people, endless flies, mosquitos and horse flies.

Awesome afternoon walk into lake, 3 km one way, few rocks, ups & downs..great get away from smoke

Lovely rec site, hard to get to for vehicle with low ground clearance but that also means you don't get the crowd! Please be aware that the temperature here is colder than in city. The fact there are still sheets of ice on lake surface during May is a good indicator. Dress warm!

Beautiful remote alpine lake. Hiking in is a good choice as trails in can be a bit treacherous- leave your Honda at home or on the main road.

Great hill, great terrain, and super fast lift lines. The triple chair especially. I have never had more than one person in front of me. Great variety of terrain, with some expert runs plenty of gladed skiing and it is a steep mountain. Ski patrol awesome, my daughter ended up with a spinal compression fracture they took great care of her we have been back many times since.

Hill was more than I was expecting. There were lots of nice steep pitches to keep you entertained. Snows was great, groomers were fast. With lifts in the mid 100s, I'll be hitting Apex up again.

For a skiing area with only 2 chairlifts, the amount of terrain accesed is absolutely huge! It feels more like a larger locals hill, not an international destination resort. The vibe is relaxed, the ticket pricing simple and clear, good steep runs at the top, friendly liftees, old school hand scanned tickets, beatiful views (you can see both Big White and mt Baldy from the top) . Would recommend to ski here for a couple days to try out all the runs.

Nice hill to go to if you are local. Not an easy hill! If you are new to snowsports, this might not be a hill to start on. Mostly groomed runs with lots of powder options.

Awesome rooms, awesome trails. Had a lot of fun definitely would do it again

We stayed for three nights in December of 2023. We could tell it had lots of potential, unfortunately the weather wasn't great for ski conditions at that point in the season. That said, the rooms in ski in ski out were amazing, the tubing was our favorite and the groomers were phenomenal. All of the staff were friendly and helpful, the food was delicious in the base area restaraunts. I hope to return for another trip with better snow and the skate loop open. *Returned December 2024 and had fun skiing the steeper terrain!

We went up at 3:30 wanting to skate in the loop that was open until 10pm. My boyfriend needed to rent skates and they told us that we could but we needed to return them by 4:00pm or 9am tomorrow. Because the skate loop is open until 10 we assumed there would be a drop box or someplace we could drop the skates off when we were finished with them as we were told on the phone. We travelled 2 hours from lake country to get there and with the lack of misinformation on the website and the cluelessness of the rental shop it was completely disappointing. For an activity that is open until 10pm there should be some sort of service open until then as well. We left extremely dissatisfied and disappointed.

We had such a wonderful experience at Hillside Winery. The wine was excellent - so many great options to taste and enjoy. The customer service was just as impressive: warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the visit even better. We also tried the duck tacos and the scallops with pork belly, both were absolutely delicious! Such a great spot for good wine, tasty food, and friendly people. Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful evening at Hillside Winery! We brought the kids along for dinner at their bistro and were impressed with how welcoming and accommodating the staff were. Service was excellent, the plating was beautiful, and every dish tasted amazing. The wine was a perfect complement to the meal, making it an all-around fantastic experience. Highly recommend stopping in if you’re in the area!

Went for both a wine Tasting and dinner at the bistro and WOW. Top notch service from both ends. Greg at the tasting room was extremely knowledgeable, funny and kind. Left with 3 bottles thanks to him! Dinner was fabulous with wonderful thoughtful dishes and great views to go along with it. It’s not summer without a trip to hillside.

We had our wedding here on September 13, 2025. Hillside Winery and Lisa were absolutely incredible. I can’t say enough positive things!. From the very beginning, Lisa was so easy to work with and made sure our day was exactly how we wanted it. The food, the service, the venue, the wine - everything was perfect. They made everything so easy and having the ceremony, dinner and evening reception all in one place was so great for our guests. We had so many compliments! Super easy to decorate as the venue itself is already so beautiful. It was an absolutely perfect day that I will never forget!

Amazing tasting, detailed explanation of each wine and the history of each along with the history of the winery, our taster Diane I think her name was, was absolutely amazing! Would highly recommend to anyone looking to taste some Okanagan wines!

Lovely restaurant with amazing food. We opted for the Thanksgiving menu and it was really tasty! Small portions of several dishes and we loved them all. The desert was outstanding and we kept mentioning for a few days after that. Our server, Sarah impressed us. We were a big group of fourteen people and she was quick to serve us all, did not mix up anything and was so cheerful throughout our dinner!

Went here summer 2024 with my wife. The food was AMAZING and so accommodating for us gluten free folk. The view was next level and we think we had the best seat in the house. We cannot wait to return on our next trip to Naramata.

The wine is sweet, but the comedic delivery of the presentation was dry. Came here on a reccomendation from a couple I met at Lake Breeze yesterday. Instantly one of my new favs! I'm taking a 4 pack of their bubbles to go.

Ok absolutely best winery on Naramata bench. The staff are out of this world kind and passionate and beautiful. The view and care put into the space is immediately recognizable. You can tell the owners here have been doing this for a long time and are very passionate about what they do.

The best winery in Naramata. Great drinks. Great vibes. Beautiful views. The owners have been working this valley for over 30 years. Tastings are free. Wines are very well priced. You gotta go here.

Stopped by for a tasting. The woman who helped us was warm and welcoming, and ensured we had a tasting in view of the vineyard and their sitting area, where my daughter went to colour. Wine was lovely, neither the best nor worst I've tasted. Highly recommend stopping by, the atmosphere is casual and welcoming of all levels of wine tasters (I'm barely beyond beginner myself!)

I stopped in here today to buy a bottle of wine, but was encouraged to do a small tasting, and was glad I did. Many of the Naramata Bench wineries manage to create special worlds on their properties and Ruby Blues is now one of my favourites of these. Lovely premises and vibe plus delicious wine. What more could you want?

This has always been one of my favourite wineries on the Naramata Bench, and I visit every time I go up to the to the Okanagan. During my most recent visit, Kerry was our wine tasting host, and she is great! She is so funny, personable, and approachable, which elevates the tasting experience even more.

This winery has a decidedly different vibe, in a very good way! Definitely a funky experience starting with the decorated van in the driveway. The decor inside and out make for an eclectic mix of old world charm and Diva aesthetic. The staff welcomed us in with smiles!

I had such a wonderful experience at Red Rooster Winery thanks to Blake and Landon. From the moment I arrived, they went above and beyond to make the visit memorable. Their knowledge of the wines was impressive, but what truly stood out was their warmth and genuine hospitality. They made the tasting both informative and fun, creating a welcoming atmosphere that felt personal and thoughtful. It’s rare to encounter service that leaves such a lasting impression, but Blake and Landon truly set the standard. Their passion for what they do shines through, and it made the whole experience exceptional.

Finally made it to Red Rooster Winery for a tasting! Their outdoor patio is a great spot to enjoy a glass — relaxed and comfortable, with a nice breeze and a view that stretches across the lawn, vineyard, and out toward the lake and hills. There’s a bit of road noise, but nothing that takes away from the experience. Tori hosted our tasting and did a fantastic job. She poured a sparkling rosé, 2021 Semillon, 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, 2024 Pinot Gris, and 2020 GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). The Semillon was bright and refreshing with a grapefruit note, while the Sauvignon Blanc had that green, fresh character with a light lemon edge — really well done. Tori was generous with her time and knowledge, especially when she found out I’m studying for WSET Level 2. She shared extra details that tied directly into what I’m learning, which I really appreciated. She also introduced me to the term “cork dork” — said she can geek out on wine anytime. Same here. Great experience all around — definitely a five-star visit.

Stopped in over the weekend and had a tasting outside in the picturesque setting. We had a young man guide us through our tasting of the wines and he was exceptional and very passionate about the wines and making process. The wines were very good too and reasonably priced compared to other local wines! We had our toddler with us and they provided us with some colouring activities. Also had our dog with us, no problem on the patio! Thank you!

Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to do some wine tastings! Machelle was an amazing host sharing her awesome wealth of information on the grapes and history of the winery. I would recommend stopping in to enjoy a welcoming experience and try some fabulous wines! I was so impressed I joined the wine club!!

There are servers, there are storytellers, and then — once in a lifetime — there is Tori. From the very first moment, she greeted us not with rehearsed lines, but with the kind of warmth and authenticity that made it feel like we’d stumbled into the company of a true friend. She didn’t just pour wine; she poured passion, knowledge, and joy into every single glass. In fact, we almost didn’t make it in at all. The doors were closing just as we arrived, and any ordinary server might have sent us away. But not Tori. She welcomed us in anyway, saving our day with her generosity and kindness. That first visit was unforgettable — so unforgettable that when we returned later, she actually remembered us. That small but extraordinary detail sealed it: this review should have been written the first time, and we’re making up for it now. Her explanations of each varietal were so vivid, so rich with detail and enthusiasm, that we felt like we were walking through the vineyards themselves, tasting not just the wine but the very history and heart of Red Rooster. She made us laugh, she made us think, and most importantly, she made us feel welcome in a way no guidebook could prepare you for. By the time our experience was over, we weren’t just guests — we were friends, connected by the simple magic of great wine and even greater company. To call Tori a server would be an injustice — she is an ambassador of passion, a curator of connection, and truly, the soul of Red Rooster Winery. If there were a hall of fame for hospitality, her name would be etched in gold at the very top.

What a lovely place to spend an afternoon!! The views are unparalleled, the wine was excellent, and the tasting was delightful all around. We sat out on the patio and were brought water and pours for a leisurely and fun experience. Sydney walked us through our tasting and she was such a lovely hostess, and knowledgeable about the wines. Is this a hidden gem of Naramata? We highly recommend it and will come again!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Red Rooster Winery, and I can't recommend this experience highly enough, especially thanks to Landon, who made the day unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Landon’s warm and welcoming personality set the tone for an extraordinary visit. He greeted us with genuine enthusiasm and offered a wealth of knowledge about the winery, its history, and, of course, the wines. His passion for wine and the winery’s craft was immediately evident, and it made the entire tour feel like an educational adventure rather than just a tasting. Landon expertly guided us through the tasting process, offering detailed descriptions of each wine and sharing interesting stories behind the blends. His ability to explain the nuances of each varietal, without being overly technical, made the experience approachable for both novice wine drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. He even went above and beyond by recommending food pairings that perfectly complemented each wine, which elevated the entire tasting. One of the highlights of the day was Landon’s insight into the vineyard’s sustainable practices. It was clear that Red Rooster is committed to producing quality wines while respecting the land, and Landon’s passion for the environment made the experience all the more special. Whether you’re visiting for the wine, the stunning views, or simply to learn more about the winemaking process, Landon will make your time at Red Rooster Winery one to remember. His personable approach and vast knowledge truly set the experience apart. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

I had never been before so I didnt know what to expect. Well, it is MASSIVE! It was multiple streets worth of vendors and they have absolutely anything and everything you could think of! Obviously tons of produce and mouth watering Okanagan fruit! So much to look at and such neat artists and food vendors. If you have never been and are walking in there blind, make sure you bring a stroller if you have tiny kids because you're not going to want to carry them for a few hours, especially if its hot out!

👏 Amazing! The largest & most beautiful market we have ever been to and right in front of the resort we are staying at. Wow...so convenient. So much variety...veggies, fruit, honey, hot sauces & balsamic vinegars, maple syrup, wool goods, flowers, gorgeous jewelry 😍 , wine, 🍯 honey, doggie goodies, cinnamon buns, soaps, perfumes, coffee..the list goes on. A must see for all visitors to Penticton.

First time visit in early August. What a surprise!! It’s so much bigger than expected with a really good range of vendors. Everything from (amazing) local produce through food (yum) and clothing to art and jewelry. Some good finds all around. Well worth a visit. Bring the pupper if you have one. There are a lot of dog friendly water stations and shade and grassy spots along the way.

One of the best farmer’s markets in Canada with delicious fresh fruits of Okanagan Valley. Arrive early and get your breakfast here. There’s fresh organic coffee and organic homemade pastries. Also make sure to stop by at stoke the fire for pepper products made with pure love!

Honestly surprised at how large the farmers market at Penticton was when we visited in early August. Way better than the ones back in Vancouver. Plenty of fruit stands and good stalls.

Markets are the pulse of the community- a true showcase of farming, craftsmanship and artisans. Strolling Main Street you will find new passion projects, up-and-coming ventures, locally farmed organics and meats, high quality items and international cuisine. The Penticton Farmers Market is truly an Okanagan “MUST”! Well organized, community focused and great industry team work to highlight the best of the valley! 🏆☕️🍻🍷🥖🥐🥬🍎🍒

Cannot bring elderly relatives anymore due to numerous careless dog owners and their leashes tripping our feet. Our families have been coming since day one and noticed the situation getting out of control. I wish they would ask animals to stay home to make it safe for all ages to enjoy. Being a permit holder for their market, gives them the ability to enforce rules and am saddened by their response.

The tasting was generous and the wines were really enjoyable. The winery has an awesome view and the setting is absolutely beautiful. It would have been even better if there was more explanation about the wines during the tasting, as unfortunately we didn’t receive much information. Overall, though, it was a very nice experience.

We had lunch at Poplar Grove, and it was a wonderful experience. The place had EV chargers, which was super convenient. The view was amazing, and we enjoyed the warm sunlight while dining. We ordered the Mafalde, risotto, and local apple juice — everything was delicious. For dessert, we had the panna cotta, which was very nice. Our server, Bailey, was very friendly and nice to us. Highly recommended!

A beautiful place to experience incredible views, Amazing wines and tasty food! The Poplar grove Pinot Noir was one of the tastiest we’ve had. The meals we all had were too notch! So tasty! Dessert was yummy too!

We were in Penticton to cheer on family for the triathlon and then we went to the Poplar Grove winery. We went there because they have an amazing view, are close to the city and have wine and a restaurant. My wife loved their wine, and I loved their wild BC salmon lunch plate . The salmon had a great flavour and the farro salad had a wonderful crunch to it. The portion size was a bit small for me and I would have loved it to be a bit larger since it tasted so good! We got in with no reservation on a Monday but I suggest you get a reservation since it’s a gorgeous winery and setting!

One of the most breathtaking views—vineyards rolling down to the lake, paired with exceptional wine and delicious food. A truly unforgettable experience worth the stop if your driving in wine country

Poplar Grove is hands-down our favorite spot in Penticton. The food, the views, and the atmosphere never disappoint. On our recent visit we tried the fried chicken and the garden risotto — both were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. The flavors are fresh, balanced, and showcase the best of the Okanagan. Pair that with their wines and the stunning scenery, and you’ve got one of the best dining experiences in the region. Always looking forward to our next visit!

We visited this winery and, sadly, the experience was thoroughly disappointing. From the outset, we were treated as though we knew nothing about wine, which came across as condescending rather than welcoming. We were left waiting close to 20 minutes for each pour, which is entirely unacceptable. When we expressed our concerns to Laura at the managing desk, she showed little to no effort in addressing the situation. What made matters worse was watching other guests ahead of us being served more promptly and with far greater hospitality. It is unfair to provide such inconsistent treatment, especially when we had paid for the wine passport in good faith. Compared to other wineries we visited many of which extended a far warmer, more professional welcome, often with complimentary touches his visit felt dismissive and poorly managed. Quite frankly, we expected much better.

We had a very enjoyable tasting on the patio, our server Brent (I think) was very informative and easy to chat with. The wines were great as was the view overlooking Skaha Lake. We will definitely be back.

Beautiful setting - hard to argue with a $100 bill view! The tasting on the patio was quite nice, but we didn't get the big smooth reds we were hoping for, until we asked for a few more. Then we had a winner that came home with us (appreciate that they waive the tasting fee with purchase).

Enjoyed our wine tasting, beautiful views and lovely covered patio where dogs are allowed. They brought out some water for our pup which was very thoughtful. They seem to know their winery language (even if I didn’t understand half of it). I enjoyed the white wines. $10/ person for tasting which is refunded if you buy 3+ bottles of wine.

An absolute gem in Penticton! We had such a great experience at La Frenz Winery. The wine tasting was absolutely fantastic. Every pour was thoughtfully explained and full of character. The service stood out just as much as the wine: warm, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. What really impressed us was how kid-friendly they were. It’s not always easy to find places that balance a great adult tasting experience with genuine hospitality toward families, but La Frenz nailed it. Beautiful views, good wine, and kind people. Can't wait to return. Highly recommend!

A must if you’re in the Naramata Bench. Amazing view and knowledgeable, lovely, welcoming service. Michael was such a good host. Make sure to buy a bottle (they wave the tasting fee if you do).

Came here for the first time and had a excellent experience. The views were brilliant, and the service was stellar. The gentleman who helped us (Steve) and explained the difference in the products we were tasting was nice and clear. Not a big wine drinker myself, but exploring what the Okanagan has to offer and this is a must stop. Nice flavours to be enjoyed. If you are out in the area this is a must stop!

2019 - (5 star) It was very busy in here upon our arrival however we were greeted immediately and taken to an area to taste wines. The woman pouring the tasting did her best while it was busy to serve us. They offer 5 wine tastings for $5. A beautiful tasting room and property. Tasty wines. 2022 - UPDATE - $10 nonrefundable wine tasting for FOUR wines (if you buy a bottle of wine, you still have to pay the $10 wine tasting fee). Changed to 2 stars based on this, plus our experience here was lack luster. Our service was poor, the girl who served us gave us the spiel all at once of every wine and left us to taste afterwards. She also sold it to us as a "45 minute wine tasting experience", which it was not. Maybe 20 minutes. Very disappointing.

I am not a red wine person, but I have tasted two wonderful red wines from Da Silva. I really liked the taste of Pinot Noir. If you are a white or rosè wine person, I think you’re gonna like this one. We bought 1 bottle of White Wine Isabella which is really good. 👍🏻 Twyla was really sweet and gave us the chance to explore the taste on our own. The interiors of the winery were elegant, ambience was really peaceful. A great experience overall. I would highly recommend going here if you are confused where to begin. You will get to taste 4 - 2 white and 2 red wine at a very reasonable price.

Tropical beaches, endless vineyards and beautiful landscape… yes we have a slice of Portugal in our own backyard! Ancestry of farming and winemaking in the stunning Azores from the 1700’s, Da Silva Vineyards & Winery is a lovely story of passion, new lands and vision! Carrying on family legacy into Canada was grandfather Jose Aliva Sr whom emigrated to the south okanagan in 1955 and purchased his Naramata orchard in 1959. Carrying the torch, grandson Richard (Okanagan College) whom enjoyed a brief stint in technology fervently pursued his dream of wine with his darling wife Twylla in 2006. 6 terroir driven vineyards capture gentle nuanced microclimates and expressing soils all be perfectly field blended to give tribute to his Portuguese heritage. This award winning portfolio is best sipped at their quaint wine cottage and epicurean Portuguese tapas themed restaurant on the Naramata Bench. West facing patio witnesses the most spectacular sunsets! 🌅 ❤️🏆🍷🦐🍇 Iberian masterpiece The Kitchen by Abul Adame (Mexico, Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts) transports guests with the gorgeous comforts of Spanish/Portuguese shareables. Travelled and passionate Chef Abul meticulously fine tunes his seasonal menu with new recipes as well as keeping local favourites to excite foodie and critic alike. Truly one of my absolute favourite dining experiences in Canada! Tapas is not just an art form, but a way of life! Celebrate life- eat well, drink well! Thank Shantel for the sensational tasting experience and for going above and beyond! Graceful, fun and a true pleasure. Thank you Maria for the wonderful tableside and ensuring we had the best time!

Beautiful location and a creative food menu. Tapas style. Serves local wines. Trying to emulate the European dining experience, so food arrives in separate portions and in a random order. But it gets stretched out a bit too much for my tastes.

Excellent customer service. Top notch experience. Highly recommend. Thank you to Chantel and the wine maker for making our day! Cheers. We will be back.

A fantastic experience at Da Silva Winery! We had such a superb time—Shantelle was an incredible host and made our tasting truly unforgettable. Her energy, warmth, and charisma created such a fun, engaging vibe from the moment we arrived. She brought the wines to life with her knowledge and humor, and made everyone feel welcome and relaxed. The tasting itself was beautifully curated, but it was Shantelle’s personality and connection that took it to the next level. Highly recommend visiting if you’re in the area. Ask for Shantelle if you can!

Great service, our server was very knowledgeable and gave us great recommendations however the view and the fruit flies flying around definitely brought down the vibe. The wine tasting would’ve been better if we could choose the wines ourselves

This was my third visit to Da Silva in 2 years and I would say this one was particularly disappointing, not because of the food (which was delicious) but because of the staff - from the phone call to the service in the dining room. I couldn't make a reservation online for lunch, and so called and was told they couldn't reserve for me and it was 'first come first serve'. This made no sense, and when we arrived the person in the tasting room seemed incredulous that we had no reservation, and was rather patronizing. We received a similar attitude in the dining area but did manage to be seated in the last available table (there were several empty tables at 1:30-2:00 that were apparently already reserved). We felt the service was also a bit patronizing and directive (you WILL have to have 5-6 dishes and you WON'T be able to fit flights of wine and food on your table). In the end the food and wine were both very tasty and the service turned around a little, but overall the experience was disappointing and I would choose or recommend another establishment next time.

My dog and I love walking around this park. The views are beautiful. There is lots to do here. The beach is lovely but dogs aren't allowed on the beach. I was very disappointed my last visit, however, as my disabled friends walker was stolen as soon as we left the park. When I drove back to retrieve it, was gone.

Are you having a rough day? Do yourself a favor and walk along the beach. If it's not the scenery, that never fails. It's the people, and don't forget the fury family members that are walking around with smiles, I kid you not. They take care of the park So you can take care of you. Let go of the problems that aren't serving you at the entrance, and take a deep breath. Welcome.

Such a beautiful place to go walking, and enjoy the beautiful views. I loved the exercise equipment, and how clean the bathrooms were, I greatly appreciated the heat in the bathroom. ❤️ This will definitely be one of our go to walking spots, when we visit family.

Nice facilities. Seems like a more secure lot than in post with the gentleman thats posted at the front with park info. Trails are great, views are great. Some property lines are not marked well with signage, possibly can walk onto private land if heading towards lake direction.

This park is awesome! Was here for an outrigger race event. Lots of space and big old trees for shade. The washrooms are pretty good. They have a snack shack by the washrooms. Parking is plenty. There's a spray park for the kiddos. The beach is fairly steep as there's a sharp drop off from shore. Highly recommend for an outdoor gathering.

Great park and beach. Some bonfire pits, volleyball area, Mexican food and Tickleberry's Ice Cream shop. Gondola, out door workout machines, basketball courts, playground, dragon boating, boating launch, soon to have Dragon Boat Pub, paddleboard/kayak rental spot. Lots to do and great place to relax for a bit or the day.

Park is nice and clean. Sand here is better than the okanagan lake. It's peaceful here and you can find some water activities during the weekend. There should be some rides or playarea for the kids.

Stopped here every summer as kid with my parents. This was my dad’s go to fruit stand! Sadly, over the years, it appears to be in need of TLC. The store, veggies and squash didn’t look as good as they used to, so I worried how long they’d last and taste. I hope my review reminds them how loved their stand is and that perhaps it might be able to get some updates to improve its game again. It’s always a fun sight and stop for tourists!

Great fruit market to stop at in Keremeos

Lots of local fruits and vegetables with ice cream and homemade treats

Great fruit, veg, and selection of local products. They have a great fall display every year and tons of fabulous pumpkins to choose from.

Run by the nicest Latin American immigrants. Prices are the best for peaches, pears and tomatoes. So much good stuff here, and ellos hablan Español tambien. ¡Mucho gusto! Disclosure: I went here first because of the review where the foreign visitor found acts of kindness. This speaks well of them, and I support them!

One of my favourite fruit stand stops with wonderful selection of local fruits in season, apples, peaches, pears and cherries.

Origins of fruit and veg not labeled, which I found suss. Apricots were a bit off, peaches will have to ripen quite a while, rock hard. First stand you see when you're coming from the west but there's many, many more.

So many fruits stands along Highway #3, and this one stands out. They have beautiful apricot orchid, and a variety of seasonal fruits that I got excited and brought too much but not regret ~ never get enough of these quality apricots and peaches 🥰🥰

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff with fresh organic produce . Will come back.

Picked up a bunch of goodies and some fruit and ice cream at Parson's. Family owned and run, and very kind and welcoming. The person checking us out was very kind and talked to us about each of the products which was really nice. Excellent stop along our journey, and the ripe peaches were perfect for the heat that week.

A great farm stand with well curated products, good prices, and super nice owners. They also have unique produce (shishito peppers, anyone?!).

This is a great place to rest and buy some organic fruits and vegetables. There are many kinds of fruits here, and my favorite is yellow gala apples.

Best product display and atmosphere among all fruit stands along the corridor. Deduction of 1 star for non-competitive prices.

We LOVE stopping by here whenever we're in the area, such a great selection of products, cute shop, and the nicest staff!

We had a lovely visit. Our guide, who is also the owner, was wel versed in the Grist Mill and its history. He provided a nice tour and kept us all entertained with his wit and charm. We prearranged sandwiches for our large group and although we waited for a bit to receive them at the table they were filling and very good.

Hidden gem with loads of restored history. Knowledgeable volunteers enhance the experience and they even occasionally have period cooking and baking to taste. The grounds are beautifully groomed and maintained for leisurely enjoyment. The souvenir shop is full of local preserves and treats, will come back again when in town!

Very enjoyable to see a actual mill and it's inner workings. It is also set on a beautiful location along, of course, a creek! This place has much more to offer than just a step back in time. They also have a lovely restaurant where they craft very fine, locally sourced cuisine. What a pleasure it is to be around such friendly, helpful staff. I can't wait to go back!

It was a fabulous experience to visit this historic site. To learn the history of the still working mill and property I recommend everyone stop in on their way through Keremeos. The staff is friendly, engaging and share so much history in our conversations. The kitchen on site cooks recipies from it's early years.

Awesome place. Shout out to young man in the mill for detailed explanation

Such a hidden gem! A living museum really takes you back in time. The volunteers are so knowledgeable and friendly, well worth the small price of admission. Tasted Woodford oven baked zucchini bread. Apricots right off the tree. And little gift shop with restaurant is fabulous.

Such an incredible place to visit and learn so much about our local history. Stunning space, beautiful gardens, helpful staff. Loads of room for kids to run around. I will definitely be returning as much as possible.

It’s not -only- the Autumn Gold that draws people to Wine Tasting here !!! Thanks for your great care & attention to our group, Steve !!!

Loved this place! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm welcome (and a few jokes). As an all-around wine drinker along with a non-red drinker, the wines we tasted were delicious and right up our alley. The first half of the tasting was very informative, but the second half felt a little flat. There weren’t any descriptions of the wines, tasting notes, or production details shared. To be fair, there was a photoshoot happening behind us, which may have been distracting for the staff by that time. Overall, that did not take away from our experience—we still enjoyed our time here, and even took home a few bottles! We'll definitely be back and will be reccomending Wild Goose as a stop.

Their patio is just lovely with views of mountains and vineyards. Of course, their wine is delicious. I bought home their specialty wines as they taste unique flavors of sweetness. The laddies working on the morning of October 1st are as lovely as the views and wines.

We decided to come to Wild Goose today for a tasting and check out their new bistro. Thanks to Darren for a lovely wine tasting and thanks Steve for accommodating us for lunch. Delicious food, beautiful wine paired with a fantastic view. If you’re in the area stop by Wild Goose.

Lovely spot in Ok Falls. Lovely wines, the Muscat and Autumn Gold are a must try. Cheers to Karen for being an excellent host

Visited on Sep 21, 2025. Best experience in Okanagan Valley. The staff are as impressive as their wines in every aspect! Too bad didn't ask their names. Will recommend to everyone on social media.

Came here for a flight of wine and some snacks on their beautiful patio which had a great view of a vineyards. Great winery and lovely staff!

We had an unusual experience at Liquidity. We walked their from our Air B&B and everything about it was beautiful. The grounds are magnificent. The views breathtaking. The building is modern and gorgeous. The wines were delicious and service top notch. The two down sides were we arrived at 5:10pm and the kitchen was closed at 5 so we could not order any food and when we went to leave (on foot) we were not able to activate the gate at the exit. We also could not get out the door beside the gate as it was also locked.We had 2 options walk all the way back to the tasting room or, hop the fence. So we hopped the fence. This just felt a little negligent on the care and safety of their patrons. We'll go back before five and see how the menu is and prepare an exit plan ahead of time.

LIQUID INTELLIGENCE Private Tasting Experience: Elizabeth did an outstanding job of presenting Liquidity wines in a personable and engaging fashion. In fact she did so after driving 40 minutes to Red Barn because there was no running water at her winery. The result? We bought eight (8) bottles of delicious vino! It was a five-star experience. We’ll be back next time to visit Liquidity‘s actual winery in OK Falls .

Oh my! The preset wine pairing was inspired. Based on transformational- just perfect! The wine was perfectly paired with our excellent menu. Tastes I will never forget. This is a must in the valley. Adam was lovely.

The menu is exquisite 👌 I honestly thought I was at a Michelin Star restaurant. The wine is so perfectly paired with each dish that I wanted to get each bottle. What a treat for the senses! I also loved you get a welcoming Rosé when you enter the front doors. Give yourself a few hours to enjoy the surrounding nature (deer, birds of prey, blue birds, stunning valley, and skies 💙), incredible food, and wine. Highly recommended!

Immerse yourself in a contemporary ambiance adorned with modern decor, accompanied by impeccable service that adds an extra layer of refinement. The lunch set menu, skillfully curated with wine pairings, stands out for its reasonable pricing and the thoughtful preparation evident in each of the three courses. Anticipation builds as rumors circulate about an upcoming dinner set menu, fueling my eagerness to explore new culinary offerings. As the seasons change, there's a definite plan to revisit in the summer. The prospect of indulging in the fondue adds an element of excitement to the return trip, promising a culinary adventure that perfectly complements the establishment's commitment to both style and substance.

Delicious, creative and thoughtful three course lunch paired with bright wines and a fantastic view! Patio is covered with sun shade sails and dining available inside as well. Great for couples, friends or even groups. Wonderful customer service and friendly staff!

We visited Liquidity Wines after learning about them through the VISA Infinite website. We had the 3 course food and wine pairings for the 4 of us and it was an amazing experience. Upon entering, we were greeted with a glass of Riesling and then guided over to our table. Everything on the tasting menu was well thought out from presentation to taste - all ingredients were local and fresh. You're free to wander for photos and a self tour of the vineyards afterwards.

One of our old reliable favs. New tasting room, just opened in August, with stellar views. Primrose was a delight, and the wines were lovely, particularly the black label and Jimmy My Pal. The 'dog' branding is a sweet bonus.

We had our micro-wedding on September 10 and the entire process was effortless thanks to Tara and her staff! The recommended vendors were professional, knowledgeable and extremely helpful. They all guided me through the planning and were very attentive. I couldn’t have done it without them. Everyone had a brilliant time, including 4 dogs! The food was amazing and my special requests were flawless!

Just underwhelming all around! Server brought is the wine but no glasses, we had to go get some after 5 min of waiting. The charcuterie board was basic at best. I don’t want to pay $30 and get saltine crackers on the board and basic cheddar cheese that looks like my 4 yr old grandson cut. Just not elevated at all! Server never checked in, no napkins at all so we used the blankets that were provided unfortunately. Definitely not this places norm that’s for sure!! 5/10

What a beautiful winery! We were guests here for a wonderful evening that was an evening to remember. The staff and hosts were delightful and friendly, and the guest wineries that were showcasing their wines were all pleasant and knowledgeable. The wines were great and it was definitely a place we will come back to.

2025 tasting room rebuild. Very nice. Scenic location. Beautiful views. Dog friendly.

Spent a nice afternoon at this winery. We tried a few different wines and all of them were excellent. Small menu selection but the food was great. The service was attentive and accommodating, while the atmosphere was wam and inviting. The view from the gazebo is also beautiful. Highly recommended if you're looking for a winery in the Okanagan Valley.

Wonderful winery, the buildings are very new and staffs are so nice!! We had a great time tasting and eating at their patio!

Noble Ridge provides a beautiful setting for their wine tastings. Had a great time with my family here. The staff were super friendly and knowledgable. The wine was a bit hit or miss for me, but I appreciated that they still include the tasting fee in a purchase, and bought a couple bottles that we enjoyed during the tasting.

Loved our visit here. Stellar setting - one of the BEST in BC's wine country. Karen was an utter delight, sharing interesting info not only about the wines, but vines, Africa, and many other topics. We most enjoyed The Fizzy One and brought a couple home. Great that they waive the tasting fee with purchase. Don't miss the self-serve fridge of wines, other beverages, and cheeses - yum. Make sure you walk through the vines to see those gorgeous grapes up close.

We have been to many wineries. This one rates very high among them We had a lovely visit with the very knowledgeable server yesterday. The wines were very good and reasonably priced. The tasting was, not seated, but was on their patio with one of the most fabulous views. Highly recommend this winery.

Group of 4 of us showed up and they were busy, but able to accommodate us inside at the bar which we appreciated. Our server started off by explaining that the tasting had a fee, but would be waived with purchase (standard). She then added that there was absolutely no pressure to buy. Tasting started off alright, but when our group said we would skip the rose wine as we all aren’t fans, the server insisted we “live a little” and try it. Weird, but ok. As we moved to the red wines, she said we were going to play a game where 2 people get one of the reds, the other 2 people get another, and we were going to switch and see which one we liked better. “Switching” meant sharing glasses, not each of us getting our own pour of each of the wines. Weirder, and by then we were starting to wonder about this place. Finished our tasting and we decided to buy one bottle amongst our group, for a shared dinner we were having. Our server was visibly dumbfounded and made a comment about why we would only buy one bottle, clearly not upholding the no pressure comment she made earlier in our tasting. A very negative experience and we won’t be back, or recommending it to others.

My sister-in-law organized a private tasting in the Noble Premium Lounge and everyone raved about the wine and our wine expert Preston Radford. It was fun, educational and delicious!

The wine expert radiated a genuine passion, taking the time to provide intricate and heartfelt descriptions for each exquisite wine. The winery's picturesque surroundings are truly enchanting, enhanced by the delightful option for summer picnics. A return visit is not just recommended; it's a beckoning invitation to relish the beauty and warmth of this exceptional place once more.

Hands down the vineyard with the most gorgeous views in the Okanagan falls region. Special shout out to Rocky for being an excellent host during our wine tasting experience with a deep passion and understanding of the heritage at Noble Ridge. Great history on the vines here and the exquisite selection of reds and whites that are incredibly smooth and earthy and buttery. The expansion of their facility and the fully booked wine club is a testament of their quality of wine. Highly recommend a stop here and hope they have a kitchen here in the future.

We absolutely love this place. Organic farm committed to regenerative farming. Fantastic wines, amazing hospitality, live music and delicious snacks. Great for families and kids of all ages. Even our dog was welcome. I cant wait to go back. Reservations required.

Great family friendly experience. Christa was our host for the wine enthusiast tour. We had our 7 years old with us, so she customized the experience to make sure everyone had a great time. Family owned, sustainable farm. She was patient explaining everything about the wine process and how they grow their organic grapes. It’s definitely a must go if you are in the area.

The tour, wine tasting and everything in between was outstanding. Our group of 10 basically had a private event of our own lead by Dave who was a delightful and informative host. Check out our photos for a real view of the experience. Highly recommend.

Upon walking into the property, we were immediately greeted by live music and friendly smiles. The place was bustling with people of all ages, and Covert Farms catered to everyone of them. Wine tasting for the grown ups as well as live music and games for all! We had our wine tasting with Dave, and I can’t express enough how much I appreciated his passion, expertise, and overall great attitude. It was infectious and we couldn’t help but have a good time with lots of laughs and stories to match. There’s is so much I can say about Cover Farms Family Estate, but I truly feel that people have to experience it for themselves.

We had a great time at Covert Farms. Arrived for an Easter Sunday egg hunt and live music and we were not disappointed. Loads of thought had been put into a fun hunt and truck ride for the kids (& adults!). Live music was excellent, they have a great stage and the deck area was well protected from the elements. Enjoyed some nice drinks, hot dogs and charcuterie also. Then grabbed a bottle of wine for the evening at home! The staff were really friendly and worked hard to make everything great for all the visitors. Highly recommended.

Everything about our experience here was amazing! My Dad treated myself and brother as well as our spouses and kids to a wonderful day. We first got toured around the farm in an awesome old truck, while we learned about their farming practices and we made stops so the kids could check out the animals. When we returned we had a wine tasting with a charcuterie board. Every single wine I tasted was phenomenal! While we did our tasting the kids were able to play on the bounce pillow and visit the animals. After that each couple got to choose a bottle of wine and received all the fixings to cook smokies and s’mores over our own fire pit. It was so nice to do something that catered to both the adults and the kids in the group. Everyone left happy and full. I can’t wait to return in the summer when it’s warm and everything is blooming! Thank you to the staff for being so kind and funny and giving us such a special day with our family.

Great experience tasting wine while the kids got to see the animals, tasted juice and got their own charcuterie board to enjoy. Family friendly. Had a nice afternoon and really enjoyed the experience.

I moved to British Columbia from Ontario to retire in 2016 and wanted to purchase your Sparkling Merlot but it was not available in BC even though Jackson Triggs has wineries in BC. I now understand why - no free trade within the provinces in Canada. It is a shame. I had to order the wine from Jackson Triggs at Niagara Falls Ontario. Thank you Maritime Provinces and Ontario for starting free trade within the provinces of Canada. I hope British Columbia joins them.

I only knew them from their mass produced house wines but they have so much more to offer. I loved the entourage bubbles. The reds we tasted were great too! Really friendly service as well

You can taste both Jackson Triggs and Illiskillin wine, but not ice wine. It’s always cheaper than going to liquor store or duty free. You can also find special offers here, if you are looking for the most awarded icewine, here should be a good place.

Our first place to visit on our off season trip to Oliver. What a great experience. Staff was extremely knowledgeable on all the wines, and there are plenty to choose from. We were able to sample 4 different ones and then ended up purchasing 3 bottles for later consumption. 😉 Lots of variety from many of the local growers all in one place. Highly recommend.

An absolute must visit! 🍷

One of the best wine estate experiences I have ever had. It was an abrupt stop that was not schedualed on our vacation. Needing to kill time before a wedding, we arrived and ended up receiving a private terroir lesson from an absolutely fine gentleman and representative of Jackson Triggs, Jim. The lesson showcased some of the top wines on the Tiggs menu, highlighting how the different regions in the area affect the qualities and traits of the wine. Not only was this a great lesson, but Jim was just fantastic. It felt more like a few people sitting around a dinner table drinking and talking about wine, and at no point rushed or artificial. Me and my girlfriend walked out with a few of our favourite bottles we had tasted, found out Jim comped the lesson and would 100% recommend stopping by if you are in the area. There are a bunch of wineries within a 5 km radius, so plan ahead, enjoy a full day and drive responsibly (don't drink and drive).

Excellent wine tasting experience. Lovely area, decent prices for the wine. Stop by when your in the area.

Our absolute favorite winery! We always end up buying a full case for ourselves and another for friends — and then keep ordering online, because their wines are the only thing that make those long Saskatchewan winters survivable (honestly, they should be prescribed for it!). Every wine is a gem: the unforgettable Sage white, their exquisite dessert wines, and the excellent dry reds that are impossible to resist. Tastings are free and include everything, so you really get to explore their whole range. Anna and her sister are true enthusiasts who know their craft inside out — warm, welcoming, and full of passion for what they do. Every visit feels special, and you will definitely not leave empty-handed. We absolutely adore this place!

This place was such a cool and unique experience! The wines were really different and we loved it. From the moment we got there, everything was great—the rose gardens and statues were beautiful. Our hostess was awesome and made it a really fun time. Definitely worth a visit!

This winery is the bar every other winery should aspire to. The owner was both entertaining and extremely informative. She is so passionate about her wines! Obviously she is adventurous in her different combinations for her wines. Hands down, the best wines anywhere. Thank you for a fun tasting.

My boyfriend’s family and I had such a wonderful experience here. We went for a tasting, as we found out they have a special selection of wines, specifically fortified wines. John was extremely knowledgeable and had such a great sense of humor. He had us laughing and really enjoying our time there. We were so impressed with the wide selection of dessert wines. Every single one was delicious, and had unique properties, and reflected high standards for their production process. We won’t share how many we purchased ;) They definitely have our business! It was so nice to sit on the bench outside, take in the view, and enjoy the sounds of the water. Thank you John! We will be back!

We stumbled upon this lovely winery for a spontaneous tasting and had no idea what a treat we were in for. The wines were exceptional — beautifully balanced and full of character — but what truly made the experience unforgettable was the owner. Knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely entertaining, they brought warmth and wit to every pour. It was the perfect ending to an already great weekend.

Silver Sage is absolutely a standout winery! The stunning grounds- with beautiful roses and a tranquil pond- create a breathtaking setting. We enjoyed a generous tasting of 13 fruit-forward wines with no fee, guided by a witty and knowledgeable server who kept us laughing throughout. Honestly, I could have taken home a bottle of every wine…. they were all that good! We ended up buying four bottles. Don’t miss this gem- hands down our favourite winery in Osoyoos!

Love this place! 💛 The team is super friendly and professional, and everything runs so smoothly. Their wines are absolutely delicious — the Pinot Blanc is light and crisp, like taking a bite of a white nectarine 🍑, and the Gewürztraminer with sage is so unique and aromatic. Definitely one of my favorite wineries in the Okanagan! 🍷

This anomaly of nature is great to see, ( unbelievable actually) but you can't go down to the lake as it is fenced off, and no one is there to ask questions. I would have liked to speak to an indigenous person to find out if they do harvest the minerals etc.

Limited parking (maybe 3 car spots) but a quick lookout with cultural significance explained. Would highly recommend looking at it or booking a hiking tour.

Nature's artwork. A sacred place for indigenous brothers and sisters. They have been protecting it for generations. One of those places where you learn about mother nature and it's impact on indigenous culture. 🙏 Shiva

Nice spot to take some pictures of the lake andearn about it. Just a very small area to park your car. Maybe 5-6 cars and be very careful before heading out of the area as there's always cars drive by the area.

Great place with amazing views. The gate was locked but you can still see the beautiful scenery. No parking lot, but you can park by the gate on the road.

We stopped by here as we were heading into Oliver. It a beautiful place to pull off to right off the highway, there’s a little pullout for 2-3 vehicles. It was a sunny day with high cloud so the lake looked beautiful! We always like to stop by here when visiting the Oliver / Osoyoos area.

This lake is so beautiful, interesting and meaningful. It has 365 mineral pans with healing powers, both physical and spiritual. The surrounding countryside is home to unique wildlife species and has a high chaparral vibe.

WILL RETURN Enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Admission fee less than 10 bucks. Well worth the price. Amazing detailed work. Can easily spend 2 hours there. Another good family activity to enjoy other than exploring wineries and wine tasting.

If you are in the least bit into model trains, you will love this place!! Even my wife who doesn't give a damn about trains, model trains or dioramas was thoroughly impressed and spent an hour looking at and video recording this incredible exhibit that is a lifelong pain of one family! Check it out!!

Such great work and you can tell it's very well loved and taken care of! We spent a good amount of time looking through all the individual vignettes. Kids will enjoy the little buttons that they can use to animate certain scenes.

Not very big for the price. Just one large room. It was interesting to see but not worth almost $20 for two people. $5 is more realistic for what you get. Nice people. Very clean. Gift shop downstairs was very expensive. Would be nice if it had Air conditioning. We went here to escape the 40 degree heat wave in Osoyoos. It was very hot inside which was uncomfortable.

Great stop we've been to a couple of times. So many details to spot throughout the display and costs 6 of us less than $50 to get in. You can spend as much or as little time in the display as you would like!

Great place to take little kids, however it's a horrifying place to take a train fan, especially if they like or have a model railroad. European trains and structures mixed with every toy that was approximately the right size. Most scenes looked like a toy store exploded. The track work is tight radiuses, flex track, and ugly turnouts.

This place is amazing for young and old! We are so sad that it will be closed as of September 7, 2021. If you get a chance to go then definately do it! So worth the visit! We had toddlers and seniors with us and tennagers and everyone loved it. Such a lot of work and detail. Love it!

This is a great first stop if you're new to Osoyoos and get all the info and guides you need. They have a nice selection of merch too. Check out the metal sculpture at the backside of the building.

Definitely worth the stop. I can't remember the womans name, I think she said she was originally from Edmonton. In any case she had recommended a number of places including the embalming fluid bottles house in Boswell BC. And a number of locations around Osoyoos that we had really enjoyed. Thank you so much for the great information. We may see you next summer since we enjoyed the area so much! Come back from that area again this year, just love it .

I actually pulled over to figure out where I was in Osoyoos and I happened to be right where the Information Center was lol.. my friend and I were so impressed, the ladies that work there are exceptional, so helpful and friendly! They made me feel more assured that I’d find the hotel I was looking for, and recommended anything else we were interested in. Love the unique items you sell there too, glad I got those cute coasters. Thanks again ladies, Sheila & Susana😊

A nice stop to stretch out and getting more info about the town.

The Osooyos Visitors center is conveniently located and easy to find. The building is modern and well maintained. The gift shop has quality items for sale. What impressed me the most was when Leslie greeted me warmly, was patient with my questions and gave me excellent tips on what to see and experience in the area. I have been to other visitor centers whose staff left me feeling like l imposed on them. I left the Osooyos Visitor Center with the feeling that l made new friends who were genuinely enthusiastic about their area.

WOW. What a wonderful, helpful place. Grace answered all our questions and offered all the maps we might need. She is a gem. Thank you so much. Brian and Nancy

Love stopping in here! Always such nice staff and a great assortment of things to shop for :)

Baldy Mountain is such a hidden gem that I selfishly don’t want to share too much about!It is a small mountain resort that generally doesn’t have large crowds so you can just go straight on the lift. Even on their busiest weekend of the year, we only had to wait 5 or 6 chairs and only for a short period as you get lunch breaks the lines disappeared! Being the 3rd highest mountain resort in BC it often has some of the best snow! The set up of the mountain is amazing and the facilities are good. There are 2 chairlifts and a magic carpet that give you access to a vast area to enjoy. There is something for everyone and every skill level! The rail park and the jump park are second to none and for a mountain resort this small to have such phenomenal parks that you can easily ride over and over without having to hike or take a long lift is worth so much! You won’t find more reasonable lift ticket prices and what you get for the price simply can’t be beat!!! This has always been one of my favourite mountains but shhh, don’t tell anyone 😉

Great terrain variety for 1-2 day of skiing. The glades seem to become much more open after the wildfires, making them easily accessible for powder runs after fresh snowfall. I also like that all the runs funnel into one central area, making it easy to switch between lifts and explore different routes. Crowds were minimal even on weekends. The biggest drawback is the chairlift speed—both the new and old lifts are noticeably slower than at other resorts, which means you end up spending a lot of time freezing in the chair.

Even for being end of the snow year and hasn’t snow wed in a week it was still beautiful, good price and service is amazing everyone is so nice I would recommend

Beautiful ski resort. Not very busy. Liked it a lot. Be aware, lifts are old and stopp a lot.

Great little mountain. Awesome snow and challenging terrain. Only one lift running was kind of a bummer.. We will come back again next season.

First time here. I hate to give such a great review because this place is a best kept secret! But this is an awesome local hill that has a great variety of runs for all levels. Staying at one of the cozy cabins right at the hill. Late snow this year so not a lot of base snow but it snowed 7cm in the past 24 hours which made for great skiing today.

Amazing vibe. Incredible skiing. I visited this old-school resort with my dad, and 2 kids for a day of skiing. The staff were great, the skiing was wonderful, and the views from the top of the old double chair was incredible! We’ll be back

Our visit to the Nk’Mip Desert Cultural Centre was an absolute highlight of our trip. The admissions fee for our family of three was very reasonable, and the ticket agent was exceptionally kind, friendly, and helpful. Since it was a Sunday, she even gave us a 15% discount, which was a pleasant surprise. She took the time to explain the loop trail and informed us about the day’s events, which made our experience smooth and enjoyable. The museum itself offers rich and thoughtful displays about the history and culture of the Okanagan people—both engaging and educational. The 1.5 km loop trail was easy to walk and full of interesting sights, including opportunities to learn more about desert ecology. Along the way, we found plenty of great spots to take memorable photos. One of the highlights was the snake presentation in the theatre, led by a biology researcher. She was knowledgeable and engaging, offering fascinating insights into local wildlife. Parking was plentiful, the hiking experience was excellent, and the entire atmosphere of the centre was peaceful, informative, and family-friendly. We highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area—it’s well worth it.

An absolute gem and must visit! The girl at front desk was so welcoming and helpful. Their new interactive exhibit ‘Tricksters’ was great as well but my favorite was the outdoor trails among the sagebrush and the village. Oh and the architecture of the building is just as brilliant!

The Centre was really good! I recommend visiting in the early morning or afternoon for a better chance to see wildlife. We only spotted some birds, unfortunately. The customer service was amazing. We had our little dog with us, which is usually not allowed in the park. Since it was hot outside and we couldn’t leave her in the car, the reception kindly let us bring her in and prepared a room with AC where she could stay comfortably in her box. Overall, it was a great experience, and I highly recommend visiting—especially for those who want to escape the dry, hot weather! 😬

I loved my experience here. Since I showed up at the end of the day, I wasnt charged a fee as I wasnt able to get very far but its a very spiritual place. I loved the trails, I love the facility, I loved the power you can feel of the people whose land it is. Im Cree from northern Saskatchewan and the young lady at the gift shop was from North Battleford Saskatchewan, that was a nice little laugh for us. I enjoyed my time and bought a Kokum scarf and some earrings.

A Truly Special Place – Worth Visiting More Than Once! We loved our visit so much that we came back the very next day! The area is rich with natural beauty—plenty of wildlife to observe and listen to, peaceful pine trees to rest under, and well-maintained shared spaces that make it easy to relax and connect with nature. One of the highlights was exploring the village and learning about the history and culture of the Osoyoos Indian Band. It added so much depth and meaning to our experience. This place is a perfect blend of serenity, nature, and heritage. Highly recommended for anyone looking to unwind and connect with something deeper.

Worth every penny going for a learning experience indoor and outdoor. It takes you on a desert hike with some interactive displays. Sent a leisurely good 2 hours here. Very safe for a single person to explore on their own as well. Buy tickets at the front door in the building.

Wonderful cultural and geographical interpretation centre. I suggest going early in the morning at the heat is oppressive in the afternoon and the trails have little to no shade. Even in our short visit as we showed up just before closing time I learned a lot and enjoyed the experience. We will return another time and walk the full trail.

My family and I had a great experience with wine tasting and of course delicious food. The employees there are absolutely the friendliest people I've met. The whole area designed in such a great shape that you don't want to leave. And not to mention the restaurant view, stunning!

I will start by saying that the food was excellent. However, everything else during our experience was not. We arrived for our 1pm reservation, we received water and our order was taken. After 30 minutes I had to go ask for more water and we did not receive our drinks - wine and beer - until 1:45. And only because I went to ask. We had placed our food order at the same time. We had to ask about our food at 2:15. When it finally came, the food was delicious. One item did not arrive. One bill was incorrect. The view was exceptional. After 2.5 hours with no manager, and no explanation, the experience only deserves a one star rating because the food was very good.

Food was good, had the mussels which were quite small, wondering if they were freshwater but still tasty, tried their bannock, very good. Their pitcher of sangria was lovely! Great outdoor patio and view, provided nice umbrellas when it got too hot to sit under the sun. Made reservations but likely don’t need to as we saw other tables free for lunch.

Had two exceptional meals here while staying at Spirit Ridge. Also had a pleasant wine tasting with Loyd, who knows what he’s talking about despite the missing “L”. For lunch, the turkey and brie sandwich was delicious. Others had the pizza cooked in the $30,000 oven. The dining companions were kind enough to share, and so I can report that the ‘za gets a mark of A+. They have topping combinations you are unlikely to see elsewhere. For the less adventurous, they will cobble together a plain cheese pizza. For dinner on another date, had the Indigenous Flavours meal. It was terrific. A particular shout out to the server Luke from New Zealand. A misunderstanding led to the belief on our part that pizza would be an option. Upon being seated, we were informed that the pizza option stopped 45 minutes prior. Our Kiwi server, true to his Jedi namesake, used some mind trick to convince the chef to make an exception. Thus we managed to avoid the ire of the youngest child; Pizza delivered. The portion sizes were fine, but some might find they were a tad small. The price was appropriate for the venue; pizzas are about $25. As for the atmosphere, I doubt you will find a better view anywhere on the planet.

The wines are wonderful, worth visiting for a tasting! We found the process a bit odd - arrived at 5:20pm and was unsure about weather a tasting could happen (they close st 6pm). We were able to do a tasting- Ron served us and was awesome, a great experience and lovely wines. They do not waive the tasting fees regardless of purchase (even if you purchase several cases). Overall, worth visting but book ahead.

Brought some guests on the weekend for a tasting experience at Nk'Mip Cellars. We were really taken care of, Faye the Wine educator was awesome. Super knowledgeable,super personable and outgoing. Just wanted to share the lovely experience that my guests expressed. Keep up the great work. Grazie mille 🙏

We went to the Nk'Mip Cellars after doing the culture center walk, we went to do the Wine Tasting and our wine expert Faye was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about all the wines we tried. We enjoyed the wine and took a bottle home as well, would highly recommend! Thanks again Faye for the great experience :)

We went to the beach in the city center, down by Boston pizza. The beach is clean sand is clean shore is clean water was refreshing. Not to busy . The shore line here is more sandy than other places. Come check it out ! Public washrooms. There nice . Place to by food. Grass area. Shade area.

Warm water to swim in, a very beautiful view of the mountains, on the other side of the lake is another country. There are great places nearby for camping. I would like to return to this place.

The lake is SO WARM! We went on the Canada Day long weekend and it was stellar. I recommend going on a less windy day so getting out of the water/being on the water isn’t as cold

Lake Osoyoos spans more than 5,700 acres and straddles the border of British Columbia, Canada and Washington state in the United States. The Okanagan River flows into Lake Osoyoos in a semi-arid region of British Columbia known as Desert Wine Country. This region has very low annual rainfall and some of the highest average temperatures in Canada. In fact, the lake is the warmest in Canada and is located in Canada’s only desert.

Beautiful town and lake. A tourist destination with water sports including a witbit. Pub, restaurants, cafes, fast food. And you are in fruit and wine country in Canada's desert. Many fruit stands and wineries in the area.

Nice place to kayak is the north end of this lake, at the Okanagan River entry. Larger grasslands in this area make for interesting kayaking.

We were driving passing by the lake, but attracted by its beauty. So we stopped and took some pictures.

Spied the mini-golf and couldn’t say no. Was pleasantly surprised to find they are dog friendly! Really pretty course, nicely maintained, super cute mural and structures. Has short putts but still challenging and very fun. Loved the addition of the spin challenges! This was so much better than I expected! Come check it out!! Worth a stop!!

We played an evening of mini golf here. Parking is behind or along the street. There's 18 holes, and each one was quite unique. Compared to our usual annual mini golf in Parksville, this place is better! Some of the difficulties make the experience fun and challenging. The pacing was also good. The way they designed the holes allowed them to compact things but not give you the experience of being crowded. This is an excellent mini golf park. We definitely recommend Rattlesnake Canyon!

The atmosphere at Rattlesnake Canyon was enjoyable, with a lively crowd and a decent range of attractions. While it was busy, the wait times for rides were surprisingly reasonable. However, the experience was dampened by a few issues. The day pass felt overpriced considering the limited number of available activities, and the parking situation was quite tight. Most disappointing was the encounter with a rude agent at the ticket counter, which got the day off to a less-than-ideal start. With some improvements in service and value, the park could offer a much better experience. In the end, my son loved the various rides and activities. Ride attendants including of Trampoline were great.

Such fun for the whole family. The staff are friendly and want to make sure everyone has a good time. They checked in with my 4 year old on the Bungee Tree to see if she wanted to go up high or not and respected her wishes to just jump on the trampoline. When I went on the swings I was told if I started to feel sick or scared to just give the guy a thumbs down and he'd stop the ride. Overall, pretty affordable too, all things considered. There is no entrance fee so it just depends on how much you want to do.

We went after sunset and got the day pass tickets for 2 adults. However we quickly realized the rides in the package aren't too thrilling for adults, so I would recommend just buying the go kart and mini golf experience individually instead. Lucky for us the staff was able to get us the mini golf in exchange for rest of our tickets for the other rides. The best part was we were allowed to finish the mini golf course past the closing time. There was another group couple holes behind us as well, which was really appreciated.

Worth visiting with kids make sure to check age restrictions and height restrictions. Not suitable for small kids but my daughter is 9 she can get in to most of the rides without trouble.

I drove up from Abbotsford for a random round of mini golf with my wife and kids! To my lack of planning we were rained out within 5 min of getting there (4hr drive lol) and the front desk gave us a rain check! We had a week camping trip planned in Gallagher mid August and planned on using the rain check but I forgot it at the campsite and Paul the owner had no issue trusting me! He accidentally gave us all day passes not mini golf passes and after golf told the staff to which they were very impressed we didn’t use the all day rides pass! We came back again for rides and paid for them gladly due to how we were treated! Yes there is limited rides as ppl say but for the space they have they use it well! The manager treated my sons above and beyond and helped my daughter for a ride and had a great talk with him! As I was enjoying icecream ( I think it was me that dripped it :( sorry Paul!) the owner walked by and noticed a drip of icecream on the walk way ahead and instantly got someone to wipe it up……. He’s always walking around ensuring park is clean and running well! If you’re visiting the area I highly recommend you check this place out as it’s a annual tradition for us and as long as Paul and the manager are there we will keep coming back!

We really enjoyed these museums! The old schoolhouse was full of interesting items from old homesteads, as well as full set-ups of classrooms, a library, etc. Grandma enjoyed seeing all of the things she remembered from her school days, and the kids would have spent all day there if they could have. The ghost town was also fun to walk around. Our 8 year old got bored at that one, but our 11 year old was enthralled. The museum is free, but there's a donation jar on the main floor. Definitely worth a visit if you're anywhere nearby!

30-45 minutes from the Osoyoos! If you love mining history, this is a must see attraction. It's like stepping back in time. The museum is located in an old decommissioned school house (which is a beautiful relic). Best part is, some of the staff working in the museum actually attended school and are full of local history. Pack a lunch (with wine) and drive on down to Molson.

3.23.25) Well probably not but maybe kinda alumni. 🤣 Went to school there for one day as a visitor with the Leslie bunch (bunch of girls one boy) my cousins. It was a classroom upstairs on the east side and overlooking the swing set out front. I think I was about 10 at the time. Besides that my mother and her bunch of sisters and one brother (I don't know maybe it was the water??) And Dad went there also. They're all there in pictures except for the youngest of the cousins who ended up going to school in Oroville when the Molson school closed operation. When I was about 5 (born 1951) we (mom, dad, and I) lived in a long house just north and on the opposite side of the road from the school, pleasantly surprised a couple years ago to find the house is still there. I remember I thought it was a neat place as it had an inside water source. The well pump was right over the kitchen sink. 😲 Real modern plumbing 🙂. Daddy had his logging truck parked right outside. One day in playing outside, 5 year old me decided to climb up and get in the truck, where I stood up on the seat to "drive." But that wasn't enough, then decided I needed more and turned the key on and pushed the starter button. Old truck started right up. 🫣 Real good thing it wasn't in gear or me and truck would have ended up in the lake down the hill. After a bit I got to thinking better of it and decided dad might be real mad, so I shut it off and crawled back out. Mom and dad never knew. There was a store right next to the house so Mom didn't need to go far to get groceries. There was, still is a shop, right by the house dad needn't go far to work on the rigs. 🙂 My next adventure was that I decided to twadle on down to see dad working at his portable sawmill. This was a number of blocks away. I found a big rough sawn board sticking out of the side road dirt bank, walked to its end and sat down. After a bit Mom came down in a huff and bawled out dad for having me down there without telling her. Dad had a good time trying to explain he didn't even know I was there🤣, last adventure like that I remember having.😃 Dad's sawmill was portable, though mom said it only got ported once. It had a full size circular saw blade and daddy ran the whole thing off a bare wheel and the family car up on blocks via a long flat-belt. I remember it in both of the places it was at. The school was still in operation and the antique machinery, etc. wasn't yet a thing. Later I recall a May Day up there and the girls doing the May pole dance with the ribbons. It was up by the swing set in front of the school house. Lots of old stuff to look at in the school museum. Pictures of lots of the kids who went to school there. Old timey machinery. School even smells the same as it did way back when. Down the road to the south are some buildings housing old machinery and assay equipment. Nice collection. Old memories for me new adventures for you. I go every year now so hope I see you up there. 🙂👋 Oh, stick to the paved roads especially if you're in a RV, last year I (and some tourist in a big RV) decided to take a shortcut, not pleasant, on a long dusty rough gravel road, probably worse for them ☹️. If you're in an RV it may be prudent to come in from Tonasket as the road from Oroville includes a very long up hill section. And return the same way. If in a car you'll be fine either way. Though I find it more scenic coming from Tonasket. Then going back via the Oroville route. On the 4th of July I do the rodeo at Chesaw, then go to Oroville to watch the nice fireworks display. Welcome to all who visit, have fun.🙂

One of my favorite small and authentic museums! Local folks who grew up here volunteer during open hours. Be sure to ask about their history living there!

Really interesting Time Capsule. My husband and I came all the way from Seattle to see Molson and the school museum. It did not disappoint! I recommend walking a couple blocks down the road to see the historical site too.

This was one of the coolest old museum I have been in, the tool collection in the old gym was amazing, the lovely Ladies that greet you when you come in were full of stories, if you just spend a little time chatting with then, I will definitely stop by the museum next time I'm here.

Very interesting museum. The 2 room's in the school were preserved from the last classes held in 1968-69.
