Cycling and Delights Galore
How about discovering the stunning scenery 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-producing regions, why more than a hundred winegrowers and specialty growers have made their homes there, and why, for many, it evokes the mythical cornucopia!
From Penticton to Osoyoos, you'll cycle through orchards and vineyards, farms and ranches, on routes that are just challenging enough to work up an appetite so you can fully enjoy wonderful evenings of fine dining.
