Bicycles and delicacies galore

How about discovering the exquisite landscapes of one of Canada's most beautiful regions? Nestled between two mountain ranges, the Okanagan Valley enjoys a warm, sunny, and dry climate.

That's why it ranks among the country's largest fruit producers, why more than a hundred winegrowers and specialized producers have made it their home, and why, for many, it evokes the mythical cornucopia!

From Princeton to Kamloops, you'll cycle through orchards and vineyards, farms and ranches, on routes that are just challenging enough to whet your appetite and allow you to fully enjoy wonderful gourmet evenings.
