Our Okanagan trip was a little wine-heavy. Dont blame us, we are just
supporting the local economy.
stay
Spot a family of deer on a stroll upon your morning rise at DeerPath
Lookout B&B and enjoy the hacienda-style architecture in
picturesque surroundings. Did we mention the swimming pool? Oh, yes! 150

lunch
While in the Naramata Wine Country, stop by Hillside
winery for a glass of refreshing rosé and share the house-made and
regionally-sourced charcuterie plate. Make sure you climb the
observation tower and take in the spectacular view. Hillside Winery and
Bistro, 1350 Naramata Rd., Penticton, 250-493-6274, http://hillsidewinery.ca
wine
Orofino Vineyard may be small but it is mighty in taste! Its also
Canadas only strawbale construction winery, making it super eco-friendly
(a plus!). Their pinot noir is so good that its already sold out for the
year, but their "Scout Vineyard" syrah is sure to ignite your senses.

dine
Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn
Creek Vineyards is on everyones lips, and for good reason. Chef Jeff

rustic, with dishes like the Peace Country lamb shank tagine and an
array of Neopolitan-style pizzas. Miradoro Restaurant at Tinhorn Creek

Turn off your iPhone and get some good books to enjoy all that wine
with. The Book Shop in Penticton also happens to be the largest (5,000

of the century editions to glossy contemporary titles. The Book Shop,
