If you think that "wine country" and "British Columbia" have as much in common as "sunshine" and "the Arctic," think again. The British Columbia region known as the Okanagan, roughly five hours east of Vancouver by car or one hour by air, is rapidly growing into a significant wine-producing area. While it may not yet live up to the promotional hype that dubs it the "Napa of the North"—Okanagan wine production is a literal drop in the bucket compared to the production in the Napa Valley—the Okanagan is a magnet for wine tourists. And it makes a perfect short getaway from Vancouver and the British Columbia coast.
