Straight from the fruit belt

Cherries, peaches, apples and berries in season — roadside stands and pick-your-own orchards minutes from the door.

Local honey and a friendly working bee farm on the East Kelowna bench.
See a working orchard or farm up close — a summer highlight in the fruit-growing heart of the Okanagan.
Big White

Lake & Trails
Okanagan Lake beaches, City & Waterfront Park, the Myra Canyon trestles, and the Saturday Farmers’ & Crafters’ Market.
Trails, parks & the lake
Right by the door — a walking trail up Mine Hill for a morning stretch or sunset views over the valley.
