Wineries

There are SO many to choose from but here are a few to get you started, especially if this is your first visit to the area. If you're looking for something specific ... eclectic, rustic, themed, etc., maybe I can make a suggestion.
Check out this architecturally amazing property and its views! The Terrace Restaurant books up so you'll need a reservation if you're staying to eat. Have some extra fun and roll down the grassy hill :-)

A mid-afternoon flight of wine and cheese on the shaded patio overlooking Okanagan Lake is not to be missed. Be prepared, sometimes there's a bit of a wait.

This is the only lakefront winery. Grab a bottle and a snack and enjoy on the beach or a shaded picnic table. Of course there's also a patio with a full-service menu to enjoy!

The Cafe Scene

These are a few of my faves ...
Hipster vibe. Amazing bread ... how about toast/jam and your favourite hot beverage to start the day?

This hidden gem of a tea house is just around the corner. It has a few seats and a large variety of loose tea to choose from. This is a wonderful quiet oasis.

Breakfast ... or brunch

This is one of those places that locals tend to like. And if you hang around until later in the day their pizza is worth the wait!

Modern Korean Italian fusion! And the whiskey bar. And hot chocolate and goodies baked in-house. And the floor-to-ceiling windows providing some great street-level people watching. And the outdoor patio under the trees.

Treat Yourself

The calories! The CALORIES!! But what a treat.
Even though you'll have to drive 10 minutes to get to QB (or you can hit it on your way out of town if you're heading north), IT IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP! They hand make their own base so the flavours actually taste like the real deal. Flavours change regularly so it's always a great surprise!

A small sampling of places to stop and things to do while you take in the area ... Also, bicycle and scooter rentals (seasonally) and Smile Cycle Tours is fun with a group (no link here).

There's something to be said for breaking up with our electronics and browsing a great book store once in a while. Maybe pick up a summer read? Mosaic also has a great card selection as well as loads of discounted books in the back 40.

Relocated to The District on Bernard Avenue, THE best place to pick up souvenirs in town. They've also got a HUGE greeting card selection ... and Canada Post operates in the rear of the store.

Both hip and old school at the same time, this place is FILLED with every board game imaginable! Head in for only $5 per person and play as long as you'd like. It's also licensed and serves some food. What a great and unique way to spend some time with friends and family.
