The Okanagan Climate Makes It All Happen

The Okanagan Valley’s large lakes are regally watched over by high plateaus. The area majestically shows its best face for all four seasons. In particular, the summers are drenched in sunshine but fresh mountain air brings coolness to the nights.  The winter’s comfy cloud blanket keeps the temperature mild and the snow shovels relatively bored, except at the higher elevations where you enjoy world-class winter activity facilities. (Thaws occur at valley bottom on about half of the days in January).

This unique weather pattern provides an excellent environment for: an active quality-of-life living style, a delectable selection of locally grown fruit, vegetables and world-class wines, and of course an amazing variety of recreational pursuits.  The size of and relatively uniform spacing of the larger urban centers provides sophistication and quick access to fine dining, shopping and highly-acclaimed arts & culture, while the smaller communities provide a quieter lifestyle and access to home-grown products and talents replete with a welcoming sense of small town community spirit and pride.

The climate of the Okanagan Valley provides perfect conditions for growing and harvesting wine grapes and as such showcases some of the very finest wineries in the world. The challenge is to decide which of them you’d like to see given the choice of over 90 of them. You will love to take a tour of the area so that you may stock up your cellar.

Although no season should be left out, autumn is the perfect time to watch the grapes ripen in the sun and indulge in the harvest celebrations. There are numerous wine festivals and celebrations to choose from.
