There's no such thing as a bad time of year to visit the Okanagan. In the fall the temperature is just right, there's always a lake or a mountain close by, and there is a bounty of delicious local food and drinks right at your fingertips. In the Fall, though, this warm and fertile valley serves its most prized delights. Here are just some of the reasons why you'll want to visit the Okanagan in the Fall.

Technically, summer isn’t officially done until September 22. That means you still have time for one last summer trip.

In Kelowna, you’ll find the lounges and pubs are a great recharge after an Okanagan day. The cocktails and drinks on tap definitely offer the opportunity to relax a bit too.

A luxurious hotel or quaint B&B can make a weekend with your significant other even more perfect. Isn’t it time to treat each other to water views, an abundance of wine and great food?

Kelowna locals love the water. When they're not in it, they're on it. And when they're not on it, they're looking at it - jealous of those who are enjoying its cooling touch and plotting a quick return in their beachwear.

Wine connoisseurs speak of sweetness, acidity, tannin, fruit and body when describing wines. But the perfect wine-tasting experience shares another characteristic: a great view.

One huge benefit of the Kelowna lifestyle is the availability of fresh produce and fruit at countryside markets and fruit stands. The Okanagan climate provides a long, hot growing season well suited to tree fruits, vegetable gardens and vineyards.

While there are many memorable family experiences to be had in Kelowna, here are a just a few suggested activities the teenagers in your family will love. 

If you’re thinking of soaking up the sun this summer in beautiful Kelowna, you’re going to need a place to start your day. Make the most of your visit by heading to one of these restaurants noted for serving up a superior late-morning dining experience.

To coin a phrase, you can lead your family to fun, but you can’t make them enjoy it. In Kelowna you don’t have to – family fun comes naturally and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
