Okanagan Valley Wine Trail — Canada's Premier Wine Region

British Columbia's Okanagan Valley is Canada's premier wine region — 200+ wineries along a 135-kilometer glacial lake in the province's sun-drenched interior. Mission Hill, Burrowing Owl, Black Hills Estate, Quails' Gate, and Tinhorn Creek have earned the Okanagan a global reputation for world-class Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay. The South Okanagan near Oliver and Osoyoos is Canada's only true desert, producing the boldest reds. Sip & Summit builds your curated 4-stop Okanagan wine route in under 10 seconds.
