Okanagan

The valley where Canada turns Mediterranean.

THE REGION

We have spent a lot of time exploring the Okanagan, and the more we return, the more places we find that make us want to stay a little longer. Small wineries off the better-known routes, mountain bike trails, quiet roads for cycling and lakeside corners to spend the afternoon with a paddleboard.

It's a region we like precisely for that balance. You can have an intense morning on the bike and an afternoon that goes in completely the opposite direction: lake, good food, a local winery and no rush to get to the next place.

And if you want more mountain, Vernon and SilverStar add another face to the Okanagan, with some incredible days of mountain biking and access to completely different terrain.

We want to show you both the places that make the Okanagan famous and the small corners we've discovered after spending so much time here. You tell us how you want to live it and we build the trip around that.

BUILD YOUR ADVENTURE

Four places. Endless ways to explore them.

Kelowna

A good place to start getting to know the Okanagan. You can spend the morning by the lake, head out on the bike in the afternoon and end the day discovering some of the surrounding wineries and restaurants.

Penticton

Between two lakes and with the bike always close. From here you can ride stretches of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, pedal among vineyards and end the day with a swim in the lake.

Vernon

A quieter part of the Okanagan, surrounded by lakes with plenty of space to be outside. We come here for the trails, the days on the water and that feeling of getting a little away from the valley's better-known areas.

SilverStar

One of our places for when we want to swap the lake for the mountain. In summer, days of mountain biking and hiking; when the snow arrives, skiing and winter mountain.

Is the Okanagan for you?

If you like to move, but also know how to enjoy a day without too much hurry, probably yes. You can start the morning on the bike, spend the afternoon on a paddleboard on the lake and end the day discovering a small winery that wasn't in your plans.

That is precisely what we like about the Okanagan: you don't have to choose between adventure and slowing down. There are days for racking up kilometres, others for getting lost among trails, and some where a good meal, a swim and a glass of wine are plan enough.

Tell us what you like to do and we'll show you our way of living the Okanagan.

OUR VISION

Everyone knows the Okanagan for its wine, but for us that has never been the whole story.

What brings us back is being able to start the day on two wheels, discover a new trail, stop by the lake and finish, without too much hurry, at a small local winery.

After a long time travelling the region, we have found our favourite places both inside and outside the vineyards. We want to share that Okanagan with you: active when you want to move, calm when you want to stop, and always with room to discover something that wasn't in the plan.
