Top Reasons to Go to Okanagan Valley

Okanagan wines: The wineries of the Okanagan Valley are producing some highly acclaimed wines and earning top honors in international circles, though they don't often make their way to U.S. stores.

Explore diverse landscapes: The region's diverse geography creates an Eden for outdoor activities and agriculture: cattle ranches, golf courses, orchards, lakeside vineyards, marble canyons, trestle train tracks, and Canada's only desert.

Skiing: The Okanagan's arid microclimate translates into bountiful powder snows. Ski resorts may not have the same caché as Whistler, but for value, quality snow, and family appeal, these mountains are hidden treasures.

The Kettle Valley Railway: While a steam locomotive still travels along a preserved section of this historic railway, most of the railbed caters to cyclists and hikers. The scenery, views, waterfalls, and trestle bridges are stunningly beautiful.
