GOLF
Fairways and Greens Nestled Among Rivers, Orchards & Hillsides The Famed golfer Lee Trovino once said “If you’re caught on a golf course during a storm and are afraid of lightning, hold up a 1 iron. Not even God can hit a 1 iron!” Luckily bad weather is rarely an issue here. With the sun constantly shinning down on the greens and fairways it is no wonder that from Vernon to Osoyoos, the Okanagan has become one of Canada’s top golfing destinations. The lusher green courses spotted with water hazards transition into desert courses with lots of sand traps the further south you migrate on your golf tour of the valley. There are over 50 golf courses within one hours drive of Kelowna. That’s a lot of tin cups in a short amount of space! Each course is different in its own right but every single golf course offers picturesque backdrops of vineyards, orchards, rolling hills, shimmering lakes, rivers and desert
like terrain as well. There are few places (if any) that can offer golfers that kind of variety. The Okanagan Valley has award winning courses of every style, mountain, desert and links courses are all playable, some of them year-round! You will need every club in your bag for most of these courses, gamblers tend to pay the price and “safer” shooters find rewards on most holes. Drink lots of water and remember not to wear a black shirt, you will thank yourself at the end of your mid-day round at 35 degrees!! Most facilities have great practice areas for driving, chipping and putting (warming up is important) And, many fantastic restaurants for before, during or after your round. So, get out there and enjoy every challenge that the Okanagan golfer lives for.

WINE & SPIRITS
Wineries, Distilleries & Craft Beer The Okanagan Valley has grown so quickly in popularity. Obviously there has been a surge in popularity for wine, but distilleries and craft breweries are also leaving their mark! With all the praise and all the awards in the past few years, the Okanagan now has its name on wine maps of the world! It is a fact that there are many medals and accolades hanging on bottles from the North Okanagan all the way down to Osoyoos and all points in between! And it’s not just wine, Spirits and beer have become equally as popular and discovered by uppity connoisseurs around the world. It is the soil that makes this valley such an epic place to grow grapes. The difference between high daytime and low night time temperatures provides the much-needed acidity for production of high quality wine making grapes. This valley is a rare tract of land that transforms from semi-arid in the north to fully arid, desert in the south.
Winemaking in the Okanagan Valley first gained popularity with white wines like Pinto Gris, Chardonnay, Gerwurztraminer and Viognier. However in recent years there has been a massive surge in red vinifera vines. The climate and soil are perfect for growing Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah grapes. Recognize that the slopes and benches are teeming with vines and grapes, row after row with unparalleled scenery as the backdrop. Be sure you take some time to appreciate all the wonderful things these vineyards have to offer. Even after visiting one or two wineries you will get a better understanding of the magnitude and positive affect the wine industry has on the entire Okanagan Valley. Also keep in mind that there are other libations to be enjoyed. Distilleries and craft beer have also had a big influence in the local market.
Tantalus Vineyards
58 2019/2020
Each and every row has an exquisite story to tell. Luckily we speak f luent vine.
In wine, land is everything. And we’re lucky to have some of the best around. From our warm, southern vineyards to the cooler northern site at CedarCreek, each and every vine has a lot of interesting things to say about where it’s from. And we’re more than happy to interpret.

Real Estate & Lifestyle THE WEATHER IS HOT AND SO IS THE REAL ESTATE MARKET
It is likely that market trends and the baby boomers love affair with the warm weather climates for retirement and relaxation will keep real estate prices here moving up over the next several years. People are drawn to the Okanagan for two main reasons, the weather and the lifestyle. So, if you are here to visit, enjoy. But if you are here to stay, one of the greatest accomplishments and a true right of passage in life is buying a home! There are so many variables when buying a house, condo, townhouse or should I buy land and build a house? These are the challenges that you will be faced with, but once you have narrowed your search and committed to one option, let the good times roll! It doesn’t matter if you are buying your first home or your fifth property, it goes without saying that this process can be a little overwhelming. Market conditions seems to be relatively stable, some say that this entire valley is a little bit insulated from real estate trends from the rest of the country. Now is a great time for both individuals and investors who are looking to buy property in Vernon,

Kelowna, Penticton, Oliver, Osoyoos and all points in between. Kick back and relax, you will love it here! The Okanagan offers an incredibly diverse line of real estate offerings that will match the appetite of any investor, visitor or new resident. Like many folks who are visiting the Okanagan, you may have already found yourself drawn to the websites and pages of the local real estate websites and newspapers. Set with the most magnificent backdrop, word of our Okanagan lifestyle is gaining popularity, further making this a desirable area to live, visit and vacation in. As rules & regulations, inflated prices and various tax increases seem to hammer the west coast there are many people that are either cashing out and selling or giving up and re-locating. The Okanagan is their new target, of course! As you travel around the valley you will see lots of SOLD signs. Some might say that the market is brisk here these days. The bigger picture is that demand for Okanagan real estate continues to have a promising and brilliant expectation.

OKANAGAN ACCOMMODATIONS Get Comfortable and Enjoy Your Stay Everyone’s needs are different and let’s face it, that is what makes this world such a neat place! If sleeping hanging from two trees in a hammock beside a remote mountain lake, the Okanagan offers that. But, if you would rather relax at a palatial lakeside resort, well there are plenty of those as well. It is also safe to mention that there is every option in between. It doesn’t matter if you are staying with friends, relatives, hotel or rented a lakeside villa. People always want to know if you enjoyed where you stayed, so it must be important! If you want a single bed in a hostel or a 10,000 square foot mansion, there really is something here for every need! Stretching from Vernon to Osoyoos there are over 5000 guest rooms that vary in size, style and location. The best locations are always more popular, right on the waterfront or right in the heart of the action. Many of the properties feature amenities such as swimming pools, hot tubs & saunas, tennis courts, spas, internet and fitness facilities. More often than not, restaurants are a part of the resort

complex or accommodations are situated near restaurants and food outlets. Two things that are for sure, when you are here, you will need somewhere to eat and somewhere to sleep so it is best to position yourself accordingly. There is a definite concentration of hotels on the waters edge of Okanagan, Skaha and Osoyoos Lakes. Many hotels offer “stay and play” packages that can include, ski, golf, spa or just a romantic getaway. For hardy travelers, campers can pitch a tent or park their RV in a wide range of properties, from isolated lakes to full service beachside parks with all the amenities. And, just a short drive from the city centers, if you head up into the surrounding hills, you will find the areas fishing lodges in pristine surroundings, a much more remote experience but still a delightful one. It doesn’t matter if you are using a sleeping bag or sleeping in a king size bed, reservations for rooms, tenting spots amd RV pads are highly recommended during the summer months, especially on the weekends and holidays.

DINING
The Okanagan is Really Stepping Up to The Plate If you don’t enjoy sipping drinks at a lakeside deck or chugging a beer on a roof top patio, then maybe the Okanagan is not for you! But, if these antics tickle your fancy, then you have come to the right place! The long, hot summer days and all around mild climate are the perfect combination for outdoor dining and drinking.
Okanagan offer an outstanding variation of savory dining choices. Whatever your belly desires, you will be able to find it.
Indoor choices include quaint tearooms, upscale lounges, trendy coffee shops and every variety of pub and sports bar. The finer selections of dining are found along the water, downtown, golf courses, hotels and especially at wineries. Here you will experience some of the tastiest dishes around, perfectly paired with a large glass of local vino.
The rich agricultural landscape of the entire Okanagan Valley provides an abundance of tasty menu items at local restaurants and eateries. There is a great selection of excellent quality organic and natural foods available at farmers markets, seasonal roadside stands and grocers throughout the valley. From farm-fresh produce, grain fed hens and beef, to handpicked fruits & veggies, chefs and chefs-at-heart, bring the taste of the Okanagan to life. Join the other culinary enthusiasts in the Okanagan on an adventurous search for great food, in your kitchen or in one of ours!
