How about exploring 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 is why it ranks among the country’s leading fruit-growing regions, why more than a hundred specialized winegrowers and producers have made it their home, and why many people see it as a veritable 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.
With the Self-guided option, enjoy your trip at your own pace and on your own terms. We’ll provide you with the itinerary and book your accommodations—the rest is up to you!
