Okanagan Valley

Move over Napa and Sonoma: Oenophiles looking for a taste of the next best thing are taking their palates north, to British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley. A four-hour drive northwest of Spokane, the Okanagan Valley boasts a cool and dry summer climate ideal for traditional grape harvesting, and frosty winters, which vintners use to their advantage to produce Canada’s famed ice wine. With landscapes dotted with verdant fields, cascading hillsides, and ample lakes, the area makes for a great wine-country getaway; Cedar Creek and Kettle Valley are among our favorite vineyards here. When you're not tasting the valley's bounty, you can also benefit from the region's golf courses, world-class ski resorts, Okanagan Lake resorts, hiking trails, and even opt to be a race car driver for a day at The Okanagan Racing Experience.
