Okanagan Wine Country
An estate bottle of Okanagan VQA Cabernet Sauvignon, a hot summer evening and spectacular lakefront views in Canada’s desert
Did you know that Canada has a desert? Well, it’s true and can be found in the Southern Okanagan — an irrigated oasis with a wine industry rivaling those in California and France. One hundred and fifty BC wineries and numerous fruit stands are scattered throughout the valley.
The region enjoys over 2,000 hours of sunshine per year, with an average rainfall of 11 inches annually. Summer visitors can enjoy an average summer temperature of 84 degrees farenheit.
