Its cornucopia of cultural, gourmet and outdoor delights has attracted the attentions of visitors such as families in search of the perfect beach vacation, to couples on romantic getaways, to praise from travel publications from the New York Times to Travel + Leisure magazine. Located in the heart of the Okanagan Valley and bordered by rolling mountains that plunge into the deep Okanagan Lake, Kelowna is easily accessible from hubs such as Toronto, Edmonton, Calgary, Vancouver and Seattle. Characterized by the New York Times as the “Napa of Canada,” the area’s wines are gaining in recognition with each new international award. The area is well-suited to growing grapes and other fruit and vegetable crops as it rests in a microclimate that sees only 13 inches of rainfall and more than 2,000 hours of sunshine per year. But the hot summer season and mild weather from fall through to spring are not only perfect conditions for grapes, they’re also ideal for people who love being outdoors and enjoying activities like golf, swimming, boating, biking and hiking!
