Fintry Provincial Park

Park
Nature & Parks
Fintry Provincial Park and Protected Area is a stunning destination with a rich history. It features the historic Fintry Estate, once owned by wealthy businessman James Alexander Hamilton. The estate, now a museum open to the public, offers guided tours. The park boasts various camping areas, including the newest section called Hayfield, which is ideal for RVs due to limited shade and potential wind. Visitors can enjoy clean shower facilities and family-friendly amenities like playgrounds.
Fintry Provincial Park and Protected Area is a beautiful spot, especially in the fall when the leaves turn, offering a romantic view of the lake and historic Packing House. We visited the Fintry Estate Packing House, which is only a 13-minute walk from the free parking lot. Though all the camping sites were closed during our visit on October 27, we learned that camping here costs $32 per night and requires reservations during high season (May and June). The park also features a playground, making it a family-friendly destination. Highly recommended for its serene atmosphere and scenic views, it’s a lovely spot for a day trip or future camping getaway.

This campground offers lakeside campsites, playground, showers, and nice walking paths. Really enjoyed our 2 week stay, we were in campsite 1 which was an amazing site! The trick here is to get a lakeside site and NOT one in the open field which are hot and buggy. Nice walking trails lots of beach space to spread out. Campsites hosts and operator are friendly and helpful. Try for sites: 1-12 or 63-77 (lakeside). Great dog beach.
Carolyn D — Google review
4.5 stars! This is a very large campsite with over 2km of beach access. Washrooms, dishwashing stations, shower houses, potable water, boat launch, shallow swimming areas for kids, playground, some hiking trails, tent and trailer sites, group sites, historic buildings. For more adventurous people there is a lighthouse that you can climb up and jump off of into the water. Our only warning is wind if you are tenting in the open field. You must put support string/rope and tie them to something or stake them down into the dirt! A lot of wasps. Experienced campers all had screened canopies.
Curtis T — Google review
First it would be good to have a separate entry just for the campground, since the campground does not encloses the whole provincial park, but just a part at the beach front. There are three areas. The official campground including washrooms and showers. A group campground with two bigger huts. And an overflow campground with only simple sanitation facilities. State end of July 24, there are no electrified or water accessed slots available. Lots have their own generators, while there are defined hours for their usage. The beach is rather narrow but provides enough space for the residents. It faces east. Hence lot of morning sun, after noon shadow from the trees behind. Showers are for free. Washrooms are clean. Sanidump available but costs 5D per dump (coins needed). This should be included for residents. No laundry. Nice little playground for kids in the back, but not much shadow during the day.

This is one of the shorter hikes to be found in this area. However, it is visually spectacular and physically intense. Be prepared for many, many stairs! One of our favourite places to visit. It is a bit of a drive from Kelowna, but well worth it. The drive is scenic and relaxing. There are other hikes to experience along the way as well! Be sure to give it a try if you’re looking for a quick, unique hike!
Kevin S — Google review
Wonderful, well run campground. Lovely beachside with two swimming areas and a large, easily accessible dog beach in the middle. Great heated showers and mostly flush toilets. Fantastic playground for kids. There is a strong breeze sometimes from the southwest so be prepared if you are in an exposed site. Loop 1 is the most shaded and loop 2 is varied but right beside dog beach. Loops 3 - 5 are the newest with some smaller trees but the best shower block. Level area so great for easy cycling and walking.
Lynn S — Google review
Loved this campground! Lots of large campsites and mostly private. Some have less shade. Lots of crickets. Easy walk to the beach from all sites. Lots of history walls with the manor to the old barns. Beautiful views of waterfall. Definitely bring bug spray for the hour of sun to shade. Will be coming back for sure.

Winery
Food & Drink
Gray Monk Estate Winery, established in 1972, is a family-owned gem nestled on the slopes of Lake Okanagan. The winery offers breathtaking panoramic views of the lake and vineyards. Known for their exceptional wines like Pinot Gris and Gewurztraminer, visitors can enjoy a delightful wine-tasting experience guided by friendly staff sharing stories about the winery's history and winemaking process.
My First Wine Tasting – What an Experience! This was my very first wine tasting and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. Tony was our wine advisor and he was absolutely fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience relaxed and fun. The wines were delicious (the whites especially!) and the setting overlooking the Okanagan Valley was stunning. Highly recommend Gray Monk if you’re new to wine tastings or just looking for a great time with amazing views and even better wines!
Oliver J — Google review
Took my family for lunch/tasting for my dad’s 70th birthday. Definitely had an great experience today. Our servers Morgan and Steph were superb and so attentive. Really enjoyed the tasting trio and would absolutely recommend it. The views are of course stunning. The only “negative” was that the menu was very limited. But we shared charcuterie plates, truffle fries, and pistachio ice cream. All 10/10.
Greasygirlgoneclean D — Google review
Excellent food and fantastic service. If they had more staff front of house it would be amazing. We were there early and were treated to all kinds of information on the wines, the food and why they were paired. We tried wines we never would have because of this. We hadn’t even considered wine! When it got busy around 6:30 with only 3 servers on the floor they can’t do that. From a business perspective that is a huge mistake. Our server, Cassandra, was a delight. Let her shine with a reasonably-sized section and you would increase revenue. Food was amazing and also able to accommodate my wheat and dairy avoidance. It was also nice to have a menu that doesn’t look like every other menu in town. Scallops were amazing and so was the steak. And the view can’t be beat.

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience today ! Rachel was an absolute pleasure and very informative! We choose the $20.00 taste of the Estate which included 5 different wines! We really enjoyed all of them and talked about our favourites with Rachel! We chatted about ours and Rachel’s travels that included some fantastic wine regions! The Pinot Gris was our favourite wine today and we had just been to the Alsace Wine Region in the Spring where the Gray Monk owners were inspired from! What a great story to hear! Our other two favourites were the Rose and Pinot Noir. Rachel made our experience really lovely! She was friendly, educated on the wine and the history of the winery! She genuinely wanted to interact with us! We will definitely return when the patio and restaurant is open! Great experience! We bought a bottle of Pinot Gris to go!
Heather M — Google review
My friends and I great time at Gray Monk Winery on our tour. Our guide, Karen, was fantastic. She was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable with all our questions. Sadly the vineyard was closed due to spraying for crop protection, which was a little disappointing to miss out on as part of our tour, but we still got to see the wine tanks and learn about the process and history. A fun and informative experience overall with gorgeous views of Kelowna that I've never experienced before!

We did a wine tour with Stef and she was friendly and personable, made our wine tasting a great experience! We also had dinner here - we had the feature pasta and pan seared steelhead (the favourite!). Views from the patio were also great.

Excellent wine and a great overall experience! The tasting was both enjoyable and informative — we learned so much about each variety.

What a little gem of a location. I stopped in with my girlfriend and her family for a tasting. Everyone was so nice and the space was really cool. We tried the tasting and grabbed the cheese platter. Just to die for!! it really is the little touches that people add that make or break an experience. This place has a ton of charm and I can’t wait to come back again and see what they’ve got in the summer.

We did the regular tasting here. Our server was so friendly & knowledgeable on the wines. It was our anniversary so he added a sparkling & rose tasting on the house. Good wines served in a pretty serene atmosphere- recommended
Jenna L — Google review
Had a great experience here ! The hosts had been very kind and provided great wine! The cheese board was delicious. We had the signature tasting which includes 5 tastings & a cheese board with chorizo which was delicious. The property is very nice and the seating area is shaded. I highly recommend this winery!
Mr R — Google review
This was our second time ExNihilo and it again spoke to our souls. This place makes you feel like family and delivers wine that is second to none in the Okanagan. Honestly we have tried dozens of wineries in the area and this one tops all, year over year. We look forward to staying for dinner here next time and indulging in the culinary art of these talented chefs and sommeliers.

We were there Sunday for a tasting…didn’t expect that great seated tasting! First of all, what a well organized and comfortable place. We had the privilege of being served by Nena, beautiful, interesting and well spoken young lady; her first year as a tasting server and she’s doing great! We had a wonderful time and of course, bought some great quality wine! Try it, you won’t regret it!
Jo L — Google review
Ex Nihilo was one of our stops during our wine tour and we had a good experience. The venue is beautifully maintained and the wines were good. We were happy to try their reds as Lake Country is more known for whites. I am not sure if they were just short staffed or if it’s common practice but our wine guide was shared with another group that was there and it just didn’t flow. Will be back.
Exchiela B — Google review
Nice location, friendly staff, good service. We enjoyed the wines we tried. Specifically the pinot noir and the sparkling. Happy hour made the price appealing as well. We sampled a salad, pizza, and main (short rib). All were well prepared and delicious. Comfortably casual attire was the norm. I would definitely go again.

Arrowleaf Cellars, located in Lake Country, BC, offers a picturesque setting with stunning vineyard and lake views. This family-owned winery is known for its wide selection of high-quality wines, particularly focusing on white varieties like Pinot Gris and Riesling. Visitors can enjoy relaxed tastings and indulge in farm-to-table creations at the Garden Bistro while overlooking the vineyards and mountains.
A view equal or better to all wineries in Okanagan. I think it's super interesting and a wonderful community event that they have a weekend market/craft fair for local crafts people. Hopefully it's repeated for several weekends over the summer because I thought it was brilliant. The wine is also well regarded from this establishment but true draw is the outside sitting and the view.
Erich K — Google review
I visited this place last Friday—such an amazing location with a beautiful view, just what you need at sunset. This time, they had the Apero food truck on site, and it was my first time trying their tapas. The food paired perfectly with wine and tasted absolutely delicious. A lovely spot to unwind and enjoy the evening!
Anastasiya L — Google review
I'm usually a food blogger, but I also participated in the wine tasting here. We visited 5 wineries this day and out of all of them, Arrowleaf was by far the most beautiful and most fun. The man that assisted my group with the wine tasting was extremely outgoing, knowledgeable and approachable. You could tell he loved what he did. Now onto my favourite thing I tasted my ENTIRE trip... THE HAZELNUT CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFF ($9.5). This cream puff was delicious, fresh, masterful, beautiful, flavourful... did I say delicious? Whoever makes these is through and through a pastry chef. They know what their doing. Don't miss out on visiting this winery for the great wine, good vibes and the phenomenal cream puffs.

Kangaroo Creek Farm

Mentioned on

Temporarily Closed
Farm
Sights & Landmarks
Zoo
Kangaroo Creek Farm, located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley, is a unique and family-friendly destination where visitors can immerse themselves in an up-close experience with a variety of fascinating marsupials. The farm is home to diverse kangaroos, wallabies, emus, goats, sugar gliders, and other exotic animals. It offers an educational opportunity for visitors to learn about animal habitats, behaviors, and conservation efforts.
Make sure to save PLENTY of time to take it all in! We were on a tight schedule of the many things we wanted to do while in Kelowna from Alberta. But our greatest regret from the trip is not allowing more time at the kangaroo Farm. First of all, the amount of love, dignity and respect they show to the animals is why why the animals are also chill! It was a little bit pricey to get in for a family of six but worth every penny! Everyone from the adults to teenagers and toddler all had a wonderful time. They could have stayed there all day! But they do close at 3:00 p.m. so make sure that you keep that in mind. Most of the animal handlers were very friendly except for the bird guy.. he took his job a little too seriously. But once again care for the animal is their primary concern, which isn't the bad thing. All of the staff were knowledgeable and genuinely loved the animals. I think 4 hours would probably be a good amount of time to spend here. Just like most places, the snack stand is outrageously priced. But it's really nice that they supply little treats to feed the animals, for free. I know some zoos and such make you pay coins for treats. We had an absolute blast and would definitely go back!
MRW — Google review
My family and I had a great time exploring the park. There’s lots to see in the staff were super friendly. Some of the amenities could be worked on as as well as the cleanliness of the washrooms, I’m sure it’s a busy place but for the price they charge With concessions and entry, they should have people on duty making sure things are clean. It can get very hot there so I would recommend bringing something to keep you cool like an umbrella. Overall off on place to take company from out of town
Joshua S — Google review
It's a fun experience for the entire family. Being able to walk between the wallaroos and kangaroos is enchanting for all ages. The place is beautiful, lots of space for a picnic (although they do sell snacks and beverages). You really need to come during the low season and on a weekday. The place can get packed fast.
Katerine G — Google review
Came all the way here from Maple Ridge to see the kangeroos because it’s cheaper than flying to Australia. It was for my daughter’s birthday as she loves animals and especially kangeroos. We had a great time. The capybaras and the sugar glider were surprising fan-favourites. My kids (9, 10 & 16) all liked the rabbits and pigs too. We got bored around the two hour mark. The animals are pretty docile and pretty much just lie around. I hope they’re happy here. Although we can feed them they don’t really want to be fed (must be full). One pig had a tantrum at the end and got really loud. Coming here is something you must do once but probably would never come again. Some of the staff were great and others seemed a little harsh with kids. Prices are a little high but if it’s mostly going towards the animals’ care that’s fine.

I love kangaroo creek farm so much. I’ve been there many many times and I’ve never had a bad day there. They have local honey as well available for sale outside the grounds (also delicious). I love that you can interact with so many different species. They have capybara, kangaroos, bennetts wallabies, a Patagonian Mara, a porcupine, sugar gliders and more. This is one of my favourite places in the world. @katjaspov on Instagram for more of my favourite spots 🥰

I recently visited Kangaroo Creek Farm in Kelowna, and honestly, it’s such a fun and unique spot, especially if you have little kids. The farm gives you the chance to get up close with kangaroos, wallabies, capybaras, parrots, and even some exotic animals you don’t usually see in Canada. It’s hands-on, interactive, and way more personal than a traditional zoo experience. What makes it really special is how relaxed and welcoming the vibe is — the animals have space to roam, and you get the chance to feed and pet them at your own pace. The staff are super friendly too, always happy to answer questions and make sure the kids are having a great time. Tickets are about $20 per person, its about 1 hours trip. And they have shows at 11:30 and 1:30 every day i believe. I’d say it’s the kind of place where kids can learn, explore, and have fun all at once, and adults will definitely enjoy it too. Whether you’re a local or just visiting Kelowna, Kangaroo Creek Farm is definitely worth adding to your list — it’s one of those experiences you’ll remember for a long time.

We went to the Kangaroo Creek Farm in July and were so excited to see the animals. The farm was busy when we got there but parking was easy to find. It was a very hot day and we were worried the animals would be hiding or not around for us to see. Upon entering, we went to the capybara and sugar gliders. They were out, and although the heat made them lazy, we got to pet and hangout with them and even hold a sugar glider. The kids enjoyed the show we watched, which was quick and engaging. The bird exhibit was fun and they were all hanging out. The emu feeding was awesome and we enjoyed watching it interact with people. The kangaroos were pretty lazy and weren’t interested in eating our treats but we couldn’t blame them because it was +35. It was fun to see the babies and watch them be bottle fed. There was even a momma with one in its pouch, which was cool to see. The facilities were clean and we enjoyed ourselves. I highly recommend to anyone going to Kelowna to check out the farm and hangout with the animals.

The restaurant is renowned for its use of the freshest local ingredients, serving up new seasonal specialties regularly. Guests can also enjoy the popular long table dinners on Wednesdays throughout the summer, featuring a four-course dinner paired with Quails' Gate wines amidst the vineyard.
What a wonderful meal and location. We had three courses and a wonderful bottle of wine. We sat outside and were at first worried it would be a bit cold but the heaters were perfect and we were offered blankets also but didn’t need these! View was such a wonderful bonus and music and atmosphere was great. Food was absolutely amazing and our waitress Paige was just wonderful, she was so kind, friendly and attentive, making some wonderful choices/recommendations for us on the wine and dessert. We spoke at the table about how lovely she was! Thank you Paige and Quails gate for a fantastic evening!

We’re members and we came in for a tasting, yesterday. The tasting was lead by Amelia, and she was as outstanding! She had a bubbly and welcoming personality, she was super knowledgeable on her tasting notes and pairings and just delivered an all-in-all exceptional experience. Probably our favourite tasting we’ve had here yet. She also helped me find my new favourite red at the winery, the Queue!

I was on a road trip with my small dog, so I deliberately sought out this winery because I heard here is dog-friendly. I was so pleased that I was allowed to hold my dog while doing a tasting and purchasing wine. I had been informed that dogs needed to be held while inside the building, so I was prepared with a cross-body dog carrier bag, which made it perfectly manageable. The staff member who guided us through the tasting was incredibly friendly and professional. Their kindness was a wonderful bonus. I would love to visit again next time I'm not the designated driver!

Quails' Gate Restaurant was an absolutely fantastic experience with incredible food. We went for dinner one evening and returned for lunch another day, both meals were outstanding. The duck, in particular, was unbelievably flavorful and cooked to perfection. Everything we tried from the happy hour lunch menu was also delicious, the salad and beef tartare were personal favorites. The setting and location are also stunning. We’ll definitely be back in the future :)

Wonderful experience at Quails Gate. We had lunch at the restaurant (separate review), then a stroll in adjacent vineyard, followed by a reserve tasting. We were guided through the tasting by a delightful lady Valerie, who it turns out had much in common. She not only introduced the wines but shared extensive background on the history of the winery. The tasting began with a Pinot Gris. They were sold out of top rated Riesling, chenin blanc, and gerwurstraminer. We then had a Pinot noir, which had very aggressive tannins, unusual for a Pinot. Next came a Marshal Foch, a non-vinus-venifera, and was a little funky, without much finish. The final was the queue, a red blend made from grapes from elsewhere in BC. The tasting was on the deck backdropped by the beautiful lake, hills and vineyards.

Mission Hill Family Estate Winery

Winery

Wineries & Vineyards
Mission Hill Family Estate Winery is a leading winery in the Okanagan Valley, known for its modern buildings, amphitheater, and locavore restaurant. The estate was established in 1981 on Mount Bushiri and gained recognition after winning an award for the best chardonnay at the International Wine & Spirit Competition in 1994. With its European architecture and a 12-story bell tower, the West Kelowna estate offers stunning views of Okanagan Lake and exceptional wines.
This is not your usual stop on a winery tour. This truly stunning spot requires hours to explore and appreciate. We opted to dine in the restaurant for the three course chef tasting menu with the reserve wine pairing, as well as a regular pairing. The meal offerings changes seasonally with what’s fresh, and I can truly say the chefs and servers are at the top of their game. This was a $350 bill before tip, and it was worth every penny, nearly three hours of dining, wining in the most beautiful place you can imagine… it’s a luxury experience we felt was worth every penny. You won’t want it to end. The only critique I could possibly find is we stopped passed the wine shop and tasting room before our reservation, and the sales person was quite pushy to get us out the door, as they closed in 20 minutes. A bit of a sour start to the evening, but the meal more than made up for it. A couple things to expect: parking is ample, the grounds are glorious so take your time to explore and take pictures before your meal, there are affordable and expensive bottles (so something for everyone), but maybe skip the gift shop if you have no interest in overpriced, kitschy items and $2000 luggage (I get this is a luxury place, but come on), you WILL need a reservation and you WILL need to put down a credit card to do so, it books up fast but we were able to get a table for the next day. 10/10 experience, will be raving about it to anyone who asks how my summer was. Cheers!

Econic winery high on a West Kelowna hillside. Like it's name, it's as though you are entering a missionary. A tall bell tower rings for 5 minutes at noon, and shorter periods every fifteen minutes. To the right as you enter is the wine and gift shop. It has rooms for dedicated tastings, where we had a tasting with hor d'oeuvres, cumulating with a tasting of the iconic Occulus - which received a 100 point rating, and consistent ratings in the mid-90s. The tasting included Sauvignon Blanc, rose, merlot from the Terroir Collection, and Quatrain from the Legacy collection. Our favorite was the merlot - with distinctive merlot on the nose and taste. Our guide Mia was very friendly and informative. The shop had things you don't expect to see in a wine shop - luggage priced at $25 k, a book about Milan,... You get the idea. Classy...More for show. To the left on entering is the restaurant.All the tables in the restaurant have a lake view. We had a wonderful lunch (See the review). The grounds have a number of statues. Lending to the elevated experience. BTW Mission Hills was selected Winery by NWAC, the 7th time in the 25 year history of the awards. sected

I visited Mission Hill Winery because everyone kept telling me it’s a must-see in Kelowna, and honestly, it lived up to the reputation. The service, the interior, and of course the wine were all excellent—everything felt refined and thoughtfully curated. The only thing to note is that the price range is definitely on the higher side compared to other wineries. And while the staff who recommend the wines are very friendly and knowledgeable, I did feel a slight sense of being rushed at times, probably because it’s such a popular spot. There’s also a separate VIP tasting area, and seeing it from outside really makes you want to try it someday. It has that “I want to experience that too” kind of pull, especially because the entire setup is visible from outside. What I loved was how they display a wide range of wines—from premium to more affordable options—all arranged beautifully so you can see everything in one glance. The overall decoration and presentation are incredibly well done. One thing I wished for was being able to enjoy a glass of wine outdoors. There’s a park-like area with a stunning view of the lake, sky, and landscape. It would’ve been amazing to drink wine out there, but even without that, the indoor experience is still lovely. Whether you enjoy it inside or outside really just depends on what kind of wine experience you’re looking for.

Went to the Chefs tasting and pairing dinner for our anniversary and were blown away by the food, service and views. Sean our waiter was fantastic and food was next level. Incredibly paired with Mission Hill wines. Personalized welcome card for our anniversary and signed by the whole staff was really memorable. Well done team!

My husband , my sister and I all had such a beautiful experience at Mission Hill. From start to finish our server named Guy led with such class and poise! Very knowledgeable, friendly and polite service. Simon also popped in whenever he passed our table, topped up waters and overall we had a great conversation and vibe with both of them. We wish them both all the best in their future plans. The Mission Hill property is in top knotch shape and very picturesque. Looking forward to future visits here!

We had an amazing time at the guided tasting tour! Simon gave us a fascinating tour of the winery, showing us the bell tower and the wine cellar, and we even got lucky enough to spot a little deer along the way. Kiran and another lovely staff member led our tasting session. Kiran was especially wonderful, patiently answering all of our questions—some of which were quite out-of-the-box—about red and white wines. As people who aren’t very familiar with wine, we gained so much enjoyment and interest from their explanations. Both Simon and Kiran were extremely well-mannered, friendly, and welcoming. Their passion and professionalism truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend!

I’ve visited several times this year, and I have to say—I was never a fan of Canadian wines… until Mission Hill. It’s an oasis in the desert. I’ve rarely encountered such sophisticated wines, and so consistently so. Even their most approachable bottles surpass many others around the world. Unlike so many wineries, Mission Hill’s pricing truly reflects quality: if the budget-friendly selections are sensational, the upper-tier bottles are nothing short of divine. During my first tasting, I was struck by the quiet depth of emotion these wines evoke for the wine romantic—a gentle stirring of memories, of great bottles shared with special people, of perfect pairings from years past. These beautiful wines are, in every sense, a treat for the soul.

Myra Canyon Adventure Park

Nestled in the picturesque Myra Canyon just a short drive from Kelowna, Myra Canyon Adventure Park offers an array of thrilling activities for visitors of all ages. From rope climbing courses and zip lines to team-building games and specialized physical activities, the park provides endless entertainment. Families can also take advantage of on-site amenities such as BBQs, firepits, and picnic tables for a well-deserved break between adventures.
Awesome experience taking our 12 & 15 year old nephew/niece there for the afternoon! We did the “big kid” high rope adventure course and zip lines. There are 6 different courses to choose from, some very challenging but all do-able! Definitely make time for the zip lines. We spent 3 hours there but it could have been more! Options to buy a few snacks, but I’d recommend packing something. There are places to have a picnic and eat. Washrooms too. There was a chance of rain/thunderstorm when we went and they said they would possibly have to close the course, but luckily they did not as the clouds stayed away. So, check the weather before you go. Owner and staff was very nice, albeit a little lax on safety (these were their words— referring to other staff that didn’t know/enforce some safety rules). Nonetheless it was a great day! Would recommend and return!

Overall was a great experience, I wanted to be challenged with the different difficulties they had for courses. Felt like a full body workout but in the most fun way! Had to mentally push myself through the fear, which I thought was cool :). Amazing views of the mountains and the valley, stopped a couple times during courses to take some pictures. Only rated it 4/5 because I thought the zipline part would be more than just 3 short lines. Learned then that this place is definitely obstacle course dominant. Would highly recommend for a good mental booster and workout :).

I took my hiking buddy here on the 8th of August, (did this 6 years ago) we did a lot of adventures but this was another level of adventure for her, she had a blast. What I can recommend is bring gloves to protect your hands from blisters, there's a lot of obstacles, unfortunately 5 were closed cause the tree died but they did put more zip lining to enjoy. Staff were friendly and nice, we had a blast. We wil come back again next year. (From Alberta)

We attended the Scare Walk for Halloween and let me tell you I have never been so scared in my life!!! It was the best Halloween experience I had, I actually felt like I was in a horror movie….and I don’t get scared easily! The props were great, the walk through the forest was long, and the live actors did a great job scaring the 💩 out of us!

This trail was terrifying! My friend and I screamed the whole way. The staff were incredibly helpful; besides scaring us, they were also very kind and gave us directions. The path was a bit dark, but perfect for Halloween. One of the staff members told us that this haunted park is the scariest in Kelowna. I totally agree! 😂 You definitely have to come here for a unique Halloween experience! 🎃
Sunny — Google review
This place is all about outdoor adventure in the trees. The park has high ropes courses, climbing routes, and zip lines that range from kid-friendly to pretty challenging, so it works well for families or groups with mixed ages. Staff are friendly and safety-focused, which helps if you’re new to this kind of activity. Parking is available on-site and usually straightforward, though it can get busy in peak summer. There aren’t hiking trails or camping here—it’s more of a half-day activity spot rather than a full park experience. No big amenities like washrooms beyond the basics, so plan accordingly. The views of the surrounding canyon are a nice bonus, and it’s close enough to combine with a visit to the Myra Canyon Trestles if you want a full day out.

Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Mentioned on 
+70 other lists 
Winery
Food & Drink
Summerhill Pyramid Winery in Kelowna is a unique winery that stands out due to its iconic pyramid structure. The owners have conducted studies on the effects of geometry on liquids, leading them to build a striking white pyramid. For over 20 years, barrels of wine have been stored inside the pyramid, with blind taste tests revealing that wines aged within it for up to three months exhibit improved aroma and smoothness compared to those aged outside.
We recently visited Summerhill Pyramid Winery and while the experience started with a long wait, it was well worth it in the end. The winery was very busy, even though it wasn’t peak hours be prepared to wait if you are coming for a tasting, as it takes time to serve each party 4–5 glasses and give proper attention to the wine storytelling. Since the indoor tasting area was packed, we were redirected to the gazebo tasting room outside, which had a lovely setting. Still, we had to wait about 30 minutes as 2–3 groups were ahead of us. When it was finally our turn, we were served by the manager, Daniel (if I recall the name right), and he was absolutely fantastic. Despite being pulled in every direction, Daniel remained calm, warm, and engaging. He didn’t rush us at all he explained each wine thoughtfully, poured generously, and made the whole experience enjoyable and educational. He also didn’t pressure us to make any purchases, which we appreciated. In the end, we left with several bottles and a box of wine, including a few delicious ice wines. The wait was long, but the customer service and quality of wine made it worth it. Pro tip: If you’re planning a visit, try to arrive early in the day or on a weekday to avoid the peak crowd

There is a beautiful view, a large parking lot. There is a restaurant and a shop where wine is sold, there is a very beautiful interior and polite staff. But the prices seem too high to me. Although there were a lot of people, several buses with tourists from Asia.

Mix feelings about this one. Definitely one of the best views in town. The food was good but quite expensive. Unfortunately, as it is a winery, the wines did not impress me. Located only a few minutes from downtown Kelowna, you'll find a huge, heated terrace overlooking lake Okanagan, perfect to watch the sunset. You cannot beat that. Inside decor is... a tad weird. Not sure what is going on with all the sculptures and pyramid references? We started with a wine tasting. They know their product but, except for their version of a champagne, I did not find anything of interest. The food was a redemption, I must say. Our server was sweet, and we had overall a great night. It is just so expensive for what it is. I guess you pay for the views? I've been told it's a very popular place, but we went on a Friday, and we were maybe nine people total, and our group counted for six. Oh well.

This place offers great views and good photo ops while you visit this winery. Famous for its pyramid cellar, they offer a broad selection of whites, reds, sparklings, and ice wines. They can offer you a tasting of their product free of charge provided you buy a bottle. Additional wine tasting options and a winery tour is optional by reservations.

Me and my family wanted to stop by to have a taste of wine. We were enjoying the view and how nice the place was. Unfortunately, we felt horribly mistreated by the man working at the tasting room. We wanted to have a taste before buying, so we asked what’s something he recommends and what their best selling wine was. We waited for his reply, however, it seems though he was ignoring us on purpose and acted like we weren’t there. A few minutes go by and we see him giving out wine to two ladies who just came by dressed gracefully. I’m not assuming but it felt as if it had to do with the way we look. I hate to be look down upon especially when it comes to customer services like these. Customers should be valued and treated equally, it’s basically called human decency.

This was my very first wine tasting experience, and I couldn’t have asked for a better introduction. The host was extremely knowledgeable, cheerful, and engaging throughout the tasting.

Her energy and professionalism made the experience both fun and memorable. I left feeling not only impressed by the wines but also grateful for the outstanding service. Highly recommend!

CedarCreek Estate Winery is a picturesque winery located in the north part of the Okanagan Valley, offering stunning views of Lake Okanagan and the surrounding mountains. The estate features a wine shop, tours, seated wine tasting experiences, a restaurant, and event space.
I take my friends and family who are visiting Kelowna for a wine tasting at CedarCreek every time, and it never disappoints. The view from the Aspect house is unbeatable, and the experience you get is above and beyond. Not to mention the wines and food pairings (for the food paired tasting) are absolutely perfect. I’ve gone a couple times and had Doug do my group’s tasting, and he’s so knowledgeable and makes the experience so enjoyable. Highly recommend a visit and tasting here!

The view was 5* and so was our wonderful waitress Emily H, who is funny and knowledgeable. In fact, all the servers were really nice. The venue is attractive but there isn’t much convenient parking, and the food is okay, but over-engineered. I’ve had better food at cheaper places.

Visited after having lunch at another winery and wanted something light to go with the wine. We ordered the cheese platter and sticky toffee pudding. The cheese paired beautifully with the wine, and the sticky toffee pudding was exactly what I was craving—absolutely delicious! A great spot to enjoy wine with just the right bites on the side.

We visited this winery while traveling from Vancouver, hoping for something special. We managed to get a reservation, but the overall vibe wasn’t that unique. The patio was extremely hot and uncomfortable to sit in for long. We did a tasting of 5 wines — they weren’t terrible, but definitely nothing amazing. All wines were from 2022 to 2025, so quite young and not very complex. The tasting platter for two was $20, but honestly very small and not worth it. In the end, we bought one bottle of rosé from 2024 for $52. There weren’t many better options — most wines were overpriced for what they were. Honestly, if you skip this winery, you’re not missing out on anything special.

If you didn’t arrive by 6 you won’t be able to sit down and enjoy the tasting. Then you will pay 15 for two estate wine tastings. Definitely not the best value around so would recommend making the reservation before coming. Great architecture and view though. Would love to come back one day.

This was my first time visiting a Kelowna winery, and CedarCreek has set the bar sky-high for any future visits. The property is absolutely stunning, the service was exceptional, and the three course wine-paired dinner at Home Block was unforgettable. From the Italian burrata starter to the famous sticky toffee pudding. Stunning views, incredible food, and a truly memorable experience. Thank you.

The Kettle Valley Steam Railway

Heritage railroad
Outdoor Activities
Hiking Trails
The Kettle Valley Steam Railway, originally constructed in the early 1900s, now offers a unique tourist attraction with restored steam trains passing through breathtaking vistas, vineyards and lake views along a scenic 10-mile route. Visitors can also explore the Kettle Valley Railway trail on bike and take in the stunning views at Kamloops Lake before heading to the British Columbia Wildlife Park.
I’ve been on several preserved railroads in Alberta but they’ve all been diesel, this one in BC, 45 minutes or so south of Kelowna, was steam. We visited for the “scenic ride” which goes up the full length of the track and returns, lasting 90 minutes. There is narration and music explaining the line on the way up and not on the return journey. No food/drink served on the train and there are only basic snacks (chips, popcorn, chocolate, cookies etc), soft drinks and hot coffee sold at the station. Some of their other events do have food available. The run is over 12 miles and gives some stunning views of the impressive local scenery. The staff were all courteous and ready to be helpful. A good afternoon for railroad enthusiasts.

An excellent morning out while visiting the Penticton area! It’s always a great time to experience a historic train like this. The views along the route are fantastic, be sure to sit in the open cars on the valley side. The volunteers were great to chat with and they really have the whole operation running so smoothly.

->Fantastic steam engine excursion; Mid-ride disembarking process needs work<- Excited to get tickets for this excursion (how often do you get to ride behind a 1912 N-2-b class 2-8-0 "Consolidation" type steam locomotive, built by MLW for CPR) Beautiful sound! Lovely engine! Ride was from about 10:30 - 12:15 There's a "valley side" or a "canyon/mountain side". Pick the valley side or else your view will be hill and looking across other people's heads towards the valley. You don't get the option to stand up/move/change seats during the ride or at the mid-way point. At the end of the line, the engine uncouples and goes around to the other end of the train. Riders are invited to disembark "for 10 minutes" (there's a porta-potty) to take photos with the engine. But there's only 1 exit for the entire train. It took almost the entire layover time just to get all the people off the train, so by the time you got off, you had to get back in line to get back on. And you won't get any pictures with the engine, there's too many people. That was ridiculous, really. I would have MUCH preferred the option to disembark BEFORE the train goes out halfway across the bridge (for photos) because the only way you can get a photo of the train on the bridge is to wait around for the next excursion and wait here to get your photos. I think this part of the trip requires a re-think. Had some trouble at the station too, there are a set of about 10 wooden stairs but there is no anti-slip/visual markings on the edges of the steps and my partner in his excitement, missed a step and fell hard. Yellow lines on the edges of the steps might have prevented this and many of the riders are older folk...so maybe a thought, eh?

A fantastic ride through history! The Kettle Valley Steam Railway is such a fun and unique experience! You get to ride an old steam train through beautiful Okanagan scenery — vineyards, orchards, and even over a huge trestle bridge with amazing views. You can choose an open or closed carriage, and the ride is smooth and relaxing. The coolest part? They have themed rides like the Great Train Robbery, where actors on horseback actually “rob” the train, just like in the Wild West. Super fun for both kids and adults! After the ride, you can enjoy lunch and hang out at the station. It really feels like a trip back in time. Highly recommend it if you’re anywhere near Summerland, BC. 🚂💨

Susan S — Google review
Visiting from England with local relatives. We were blessed with a beautiful day at ~26°. We arrived just after lunch. Lots of car parking space. Minimal queuing - purchasing tickets in advance recommended. There are options within 1. closed carriages (large sliding windows open to help bring the outside in) and 2. open sided carriages which might be a better option on a hot day. Our carriage was very comfortable and the large window gave a nice through draft to keep everyone cool. The wonderful conductor with his microphone in hand, educated us on the railways history. The stories of the prolific bank robberies; things of interest that we might expect to see in the trip including bears. They had been seen in the area earlier in the day. How exciting. They played some good old country music in the background. It was great! The tour lasted about 1.5 hours. With commentary and breathtaking scenery, I'd highly recommend. I thought it was good value for money. Sometimes they have staged 'robberies' acted out and I'd have loved that. There was a bear but it quickly disappeared up a nearby tree however, just looking out for them was also great fun and even the big kids on board were loving it all. At the top of the track at.the half time point the engine swaps around ready for the return leg of the journey. At this point you can get out and stretch your legs, take photos and have a photo taken for you of your group at the front of the engine by one of the crew. All.part of the service amd a lovely momento of the day. In a.nutshell, definitely recommend a visit. Kids and adults alike will love this railway adventure that transports you back in time almost, when hearing all of those great stories. No dogs allowed. Great gift shop Clean washrooms. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Loads of parking space Reasonable ticket prices Great value for money. Awesome views. We also visited the dirty laundry winery for lunch before.this.trip, more about that next .... My photos don't do it justice, you have to go and see for yourselves. 🥰 Enjoy!!

Dirty Laundry Vineyard in Summerland is a down-to-earth and welcoming winery with a fantastic selection of delicious wines. The staff are friendly and the service is excellent, making it a great place to visit. The winery also offers a wonderful patio where visitors can relax and enjoy food and drinks. Additionally, the wine club is worth considering for those who want to access their selections from afar, especially for Calgary residents.
This place is literally fabulous!! The patio is absolutely gorgeous, shaded, great views! The wine is delicious!!! But it is NOT Dog Friendly anymore!! Right now Google labels it dog friendly, so we drove all the way out there just to discover it is not. There is a red umbrella and bench out by the parking lot, with no view, where you can sit with your dogs and the might agree to let you drink your wine there. Make sure you have plans for a cool place for the pups.

I came up to the Okanagan with a girlfriend and she wanted to visit a winery. Out of all the wineries up here I chose Dirty Laundry for her to visit. I have brought family from Germany here, so I knew she would enjoy this one. The wine tasting was good and for only $6!!! Viktoria was very informative and super friendly, when we were looking to purchase wine she came and asked if we need helping with any of our choices. After we were done wine tasting we sat out on the patio to listen to live music and have some pizza. Oh was the pizza ever good!!! And the views and ambience on the patio were beautiful. When we left my girlfriend said to me, thank you so much for bringing me to this winery, I loved it!! So sounds like my choice of wineries to visit was perfect!

Loco landing, an iconic park! So many things they offer now: -mini golf -monkey jumpers -bumper boats -go karts -rockwall -r/c boats -ropes course Prices are fair, fun for younger and older kids. Not a lot of shade available but they have misting stations around as well as a small concession with ice cream and cold drinks.

We had a great time. It's a well laid out park; everything is close together but spacious that each activity isn't on top of the other. It was very quiet when we went so the kids had free rin of the park, no lines for anything. But I could see it being very busy. Definitely worth checking out with kids. The stuff were all friendly and helpful.

We stumbled upon LocoLanding Adventure Park while killing time in Penticton, and it ended up being the perfect spot for our kids to burn off some energy after an afternoon of wine tasting for the parents! The staff were super friendly and welcoming, and there were so many fun activities to choose from. Our kids especially loved the bumper boats and go-karts—they didn’t want to leave! A fantastic family-friendly spot that we’re glad we found. Highly recommend if you’re in the area with kids!

LocoLanding Adventure park is a decent option for Penticton. We found the park to be clean and offered some nice attractions like bumper boats with water sprayers. Cons: - no water misting units to keep guests cool with 30degC weather - long line up for the high ropes course and after you got harnessed up, the lanyards are attached to a 1-way line which means you can only go 1-way. The staff stayed on the ground while young children were not following these 1-way paths which caused bottlenecks. There is no time limit either, which made the lineup longer. - small pools of water in the large bouncy house that is open to air and got wet during the rainstorm the previous day which meant the kids' socks got soaked - unenthusiastic, young staff. None were rude, but most acted like they didn't want to be there. - only 1 staff member at the attractions booth when there should be at least 2 or have a kiosk where we can buy more attraction tickets Overall, we probably won't return to LocoLanding and will pick the beach or channel to float down instead.

Just a great way to spend the day. Bumper boats, mini golf, giant bounce house, sky course, go karts, rock wall, and fun bouncy thingy. Prices might seem a little high at first, but you gotta remember it's based on spending the whole day there

This place was a lot of fun for my family and child. The pricing seemed fair and there was multiple activities to make it a day of fun. If you have children and you’re in the Penticton area I think it’s worth a stop.

We mini golfed. Everything was good: staff, parking, location, and the cool layout of the course in general. I'm picky about the hole layouts and here, it seems like there was no attention given to the way the holes actually play. Lots of strange starts, no tee mats, and lots of unused areas on each hole.

The Book Shop

Mentioned on 
11 lists 
Book store
Sights & Landmarks
The Book Shop in Penticton is a massive used bookstore, spanning over 5000 square feet and offering an extensive collection of books, including out-of-print editions and rare finds. It's considered one of the largest used bookstores in Canada, with floor-to-ceiling displays covering various subjects like sports, photography, fashion, and travel. The store's layout creates a maze-like experience filled with literary treasures waiting to be discovered around every corner.
I emailed The Book Shop asking if they had an online inventory (they did not) and offered shipping (they do) and so to accomodate me, Tavis then spent the next long while patiently taking pictures of the spines of books of several different areas of interest and then provided a price list for every title I saw of interest (and I threw a lot of these at her!). Not only was the service extremely accomdating, friendly, and beyond helpful, but the product that arrived would be hard to beat! The books were all in like new, beautiful condition and they were also by far the BEST packed parcel of books I have ever recieved (and I've gotten LOTS!) ! Many thanks to Tavis and The Book Shop for all the time and effort and I look fowrard to doing it again!!

Whenever I make it Penticton, The Book Shop is always on my list for places to visit. I never leave without finding a treasure or two to add to my collection. Everyone is so friendly whenever I need a hand with finding a book or when checking out.
Jolene M — Google review
I love the concept, but not sure on the execution. I have worked in similar used bookstores but at about half the size. Its hard not to get overwhelmed with books and honestly seems like someone might cause a book avalanche just moving through the stacks. I also had about a dozen older but popular enough books in mind. It took a long time to locate where the books *would* be, even with staff help, but also were not available. If you were just looking to fill your library with a concept it would be a good stop, but any specific topic or book series might be hard to research/find here.
Jeannie — Google review
My favorite place to go. Had a crummy experience 2 weekends ago. Older lady was basically refusing to help me find any books and look at my want list. Younger girl who usually helps me stepped up as usual and found a handful of my wish list. The younger girls here are always so helpful and amazing.
Amanda — Google review
Perhaps I shouldn't have read the reviews before going to The Book Shop but I was disappointed. I found it smaller than expected. Some sections did not boast as much as I hoped for. We bought a book for our daughter but didn't scan the end pages. On reading it in the car, we noticed 10 pages were torn. Should do a better job of reviewing the condition of the books.
Chad D — Google review
Best selection of used books. An unique experience feeling like you are stepping into a story book or studio Ghibli universe. Books stacked everywhere you can look. Being able to trade in your old books for store credit is a wonderful way to keep the reading habit going.

We cycled out purposefully to find out about wine tours. It was challenging to get the information we wanted. One would think that at a place like this you would get advice tailored to your desires. Not so much. And when I told the fellow that I had almost cut myself on some broken glass outside he seemed to take a very nonchallant attitude. We ended up just going on our own - self guided touring. Actually, the best way to tour the vineyards, I think, is to take a bicycle on the trails! That was amazing!!!

Apex Mountain Resort

Mentioned on

Ski resort
Outdoor Activities
Nestled in the Okanagan Valley, Apex Mountain Resort is a popular destination for skiers and snowboarders of all levels. With over 60 named trails and 1,112 skiable acres, it offers a good mix of terrain including steep chutes. The resort's somewhat remote location keeps crowds at bay, ensuring fresh tracks on powder days.
Great little mountain but beware - there’s only one major lift, plus a smaller lift and a T-bar. Conditions were great the day I went, with groomed runs and small crowds. Would recommend buying a lift ticket pass from Costco to save yourself ~$30.
Viola C — Google review
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.
Matt M — Google review
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.
Baret E — Google review
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.
Tom S — Google review
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.

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!
Jack W — Google review
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.

This is an undiscovered and underrated gem of an attraction. If you’re a travel addict, you would love this place (and the hike up to the mine houses at the very top of the mountain). Unfortunately we arrived just a bit after closing time, but the museum guy saw us wondering around and we talked a bit. Even in the brief history he gave us, it was fascinating to learn about the history of the place and think of the engineering that went into the construction (starting 1903 on a really steep mountain) of the two mines. Mindblowing. It’s a shame more people don’t stop by. The town itself is down to 240 people from 700 at its peak, but we saw some really cute and artsy houses, so even just walking around was idyllic.

If you have some extra time along your hwy 3 trip, spend it here! The guy at the museum knows his history and his stories captivated us so much that we then went exploring for 4 hours up the back mountains on the old mining roads! What an interesting day, all because we stopped for 'just a minute' at the Hedley tourist info and museum!
Michelle D — Google review
We stopped by here on the way to Oliver for a stretch of the legs and a bathroom break. This little museum has alot of history, which you can quickly go through and it’s a nice break from driving. It was interesting to see the old mining equipment, uniforms and all the pictures. They also have some old ice skates, tennis rackets (I used to have some similar ones), baseball gear and scouting and military uniforms. Across the street there is a Gold Panning display with some larger mining equipment which you can have a look at after you park. There also some brochures and naps and some people working at the tourist information desk if you have any questions. Lots of interesting items to look at. I’m glad we stopped in as it’s definitely worth a look!

What a lovely stop. Lots of information and photos from the gold mine in the area. We were lucky enough to stop on a day when the local historian/volunteer Ruth was in the museum.

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.

Originally, family-owned and operated by Larry Gerelus and Linda Pruegger since 1992, this beautiful portfolio features Spanish, French and Italian varietials and a personal favourite for many reasons. One being the diversity of the portfolio (sparkling to port-style wines) and award winning (much appreciation for the renowned winemaker Dwight Sick whom elevated the profile). Since change of ownership after Larry and Linda retiring from the industry, new winemaker Kiera LeBlanc has wonderfully added her own touches to Dwight’s legacy. Every visit to Stag's Hollow Winery is relaxing, pleasant and warm… especially from the verandah view of the valley! ☀️🍇🍷🏆🥂 Huge fan of: Tempranillo, Pinot Noir, Dolcetto, Albariño, Renaissance series and port.

We enjoyed such a friendly, down to earth, and honest tasting here. Jill was amazing and very generous with her time, pours and knowledge. We especially loved the Muscat Frizzante for a hot summer day, and enjoyed Jill's recommendation to head next door for lunch afterward. Cute little stopover if you’re doing this circuit (which also includes Noble Ridge and Liquidity, both of which are absolutely fabulous). Stag’s Hollow was also the rare winery where almost every wine we tasted was something we wanted to purchase. Simple yet elegant.

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

1000/10. Best winery I have genuinely EVER been to. Every time they said a different note or smell or taste in the wine, you could taste it very prominently. The owner was absolutely fantastic and gave so many details about the grapes and different wines. You could really tell they cared about the product they were selling and the experience you had. The property was fantastic, I felt like I was in a European Villa. Atmosphere, customer service, wine all 1000/10. The only way to get this wine is to get it shipped from them or to go to the winery directly. I highly recommend stocking up. Do yourself a favor and come here!

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!
Julia — Google review
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! 🍷

Black Hills Estate Winery is a renowned blending house that meticulously tends to their fruit by hand, from pruning to picking. The winery's national brand manager, Morna Cassidy, has indicated that the 2019 Nota Bene vintage and the 2020 whites and rose are the first full vintages tended to from bud burst to bottle by winemaker Ross Wise. Black Hills Estate Winery specializes in quality blends and offers a great selection of breads, meats, and cheeses for visitors.
Wow. Had booked a tasting on some recommendations. The wine did not disappoint. Firstly the location is stunning. Nice indoor and outdoor tasting area. The wines just took it to another level. Tried a “few” and really not a bad one from the whites to the reds. Some super interesting varieties and the staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Ended up order a case to be shipped home. Would highly recommend a tasting.

This winery is truly top-tier! My wife and I recently brought some family and a friend for a wine tasting experience, and it was absolutely outstanding. Lisa, our host, was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and the unique blends that Black Hills crafts so well. She curated a thoughtful and engaging experience for us, including side-by-side comparisons that beautifully showcased the nuances between vintage years and varietals. It was both educational and delicious! We highly recommend booking an appointment for a seated tasting experience rather than just dropping in for a stand-up tasting — it’s well worth it, and you won’t regret it. Our friend enjoyed it so much that she became a wine club member on the spot!

I had a wonderful experience yesterday at the Black Hills Winery in Oliver. What a beautiful setting! We sat on the patio next to the soothing sounds of water flowing into a sparkling blue pool. The views are amazing and it is so peaceful. The wine tasting offered a variety of red and white wines and each one was excellent. I’m usually a red wine drinker but the selection of white wines offered was surprisingly delicious! Every one! My friend and I shared a variety of tapas. Each choice was fresh, delicious, and attractively presented. One of the things that most impressed me was the professionalism, knowledge and kindness of the staff! Our server was Katharine and she was so gracious and personable! Highly recommend it! Will be back!

We spent the weekend touring wineries in Oliver and Black Hills was the best experience we had! The team was wonderful, presented each wine beautifully and we were all very impressed with the wine overall. The patio was very enjoyable and it was a perfect experience. We cannot wait to go back! - Our only regret, not buying MORE wine!

Val was absolutely amazing today. We came in with a group of 5 and she was a delight. Catered to everyone in our group, offered excellent suggestions, was so fun to talk to. I would come back just to see her but we all bought bottles and had a fantastic time.

Great wine tasting experiences at Black Hills winery! We attended in August and on Thanksgiving weekend. Our experiences were exceptional, not only the wine but also our wine hosts. Katharine and Elke were excellent! Their knowledge of the wine along with their care and attention made for two memorable visits. Would recommend visiting this winery if you haven't already ...AND..if you have, do it again!
Grant S — Google review
What a wonderful experience! We popped by on a whim, as the winery looked nice, and we were blown away by the service and personal touches during the wine tasting. All the staff and managers were very knowledgeable and attentive. Not to mention, the wines were incredible. In fact, the service was so outstanding that even if the wines hadn’t been amazing, we still would’ve been impressed. We became wine club members on the spot and can’t wait to come back again ASAP. If you haven’t added Black Hills to your list of stops, it’s a must!

While my wife and I did not do the tasting, we sat on the patio and had a couple glasses of wine each and a wonderful lunch full of fresh and well-put-together ingredients. The server was also attentive. The food and wine were both excellent!

Bodies of Water
Nestled just outside the charming town of Osoyoos in British Columbia, Spotted Lake is a mesmerizing natural wonder that captivates visitors with its unique mineral-rich formations. This protected lake is renowned for its distinctive "spots," which emerge during the summer months as the water evaporates, revealing colorful saline circles that shift in size and hue.
This area is closed to the public, but you can see the spotted lake from the road. People should respect this sacred place and stay out of their land.
Sally R — Google review
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.

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.

The Osoyoos Desert Model Railroad is a captivating attraction featuring multiple trains running on over a kilometer of HO scale track through a sprawling diorama. The landscape depicts European towns and villages, complete with interactive sensors and scenes that transition into night mode and even simulate thunderstorms. Despite the small size for the price, visitors of all ages can appreciate the intricate details, from quirky hidden scenes to rolling landscapes.
Wonderful attraction. Great for any age. There's so much detail you could go three times and not see everything. The interactive sensors and scenes really help keep the little ones engaged. The whole setup can go into night mode and a thunderstorm too! There's funny little scenes hidden through out. Raunchy, accidents robberies, quaint little towns and rolling landscapes.

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!

Cultural center
Visitor Centers
The Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre is a conservation and learning center that showcases the desert environment and First Nations culture. Visitors can enjoy theaters, trails, and a sculpture garden while learning about the local flora, fauna, and indigenous history. The center's display areas are informative and engaging with interesting creatures such as rattlesnakes on view. There is also a gift shop stocked with locally made items by indigenous makers at various price points.
Visiting the Desert Centre in Osoyoos was an incredible experience that I highly recommend to anyone exploring the area. It’s the perfect place to immerse yourself in the beauty and uniqueness of the desert environment while learning so much along the way. Walking along the boardwalk, we got an up-close look at fascinating desert wildlife, from rare plants to birds and small animals, all thriving in this unique ecosystem. It’s amazing to see how life adapts to the harsh desert conditions. The guided tour was very informative and engaging, offering deep insights into the region’s history, environment, and the traditional ways of life of the Indigenous peoples who have lived here for generations. What really stood out to me was how family-friendly the Desert Centre is. Kids will absolutely love it — between the interactive exhibits, the chance to spot wildlife, and the opportunity to learn about desert survival and culture, there’s so much to keep young visitors interested and excited. The staff and volunteers were incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, answering questions and sharing stories that made the whole experience even more memorable. If you're looking for an unforgettable desert adventure that's both educational and fun, especially for families, Desert Centre Osoyoos is the perfect place. It’s a must-visit destination that offers a rare glimpse into a beautiful and often overlooked part of Canada’s natural heritage.

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.

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.

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.

I love old towns and the history around them. Molson is a great example of a town that time forgot. Most of it is pretty well preserved. It is a museum so the layout is not as “abandoned” as most ghost towns. The setting is beautiful with the rolling hills. Best to come on or after Memorial Day Weekend.
Skyler B — Google review
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.🙂
