Spectacular Okanagan Valley scenery in the embrace of the nearby mountains,
pristine pine-fringed lakes, blossom-filled gardens, profuse orchards and
vineyards, sandy beaches, and first class amenities all come together in
Kelowna. Kelowna is easily accessible via Kelowna International Airport - a
roughly one hour flight from Calgary, Vancouver or Seattle.
Orchards and vineyards encircle the city. Visitors can pick juicy peaches from
trees or spend a delightful day sampling the award-winning produce of the
internationally acclaimed wineries. Spring, Summer, and Fall Wine Festivals
offer hundreds of activities focused on wine making, tasting, and touring.
There are twelve wineries in and around Kelowna and some sixty-five throughout
the Okanagan Valley. Kelowna's cntral location makes it the perfect jumping
off point for all Okanagan explorations.
The Canadian Heritage Cultural Spaces Program named the Okanagan Cultural
District as the best in Canada; the vibrant District that covers a six block
area in the city?s centre and boats a concentration of galleries, museums,
theatres, and artist studios alongside an eclectic mix of restaurants as well
as the Lake City Casino. Kelowna has a symphony orchestra and offers a variety
of blues, jazz, folk, country and rock bands in festivals and downtown venues.
Kelowna offers miles of beautiful parkland, much of it located along sandy
beaches. Grassy picnic areas, playgrounds, washrooms and concession stands are
standard facilities at the many beaches. The Okanagan Lake and surrounding
mountains provide the scenic backdrop for a variety of family attractions and
outdoor activities including golf, downhill skiing and snowboarding,
cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, water-skiing, waterslides, cycling,
hiking, camping, horseback riding, and fishing.
The Okanagan Valley boats a comfortable year round climate. Summers are warm
with hot days, clear sunny skies and low humidity. Shorts, t-shirts,
sundresses, and bathing suits are the best bet during the summer season.
Winters are typically a good deal milder than other areas east of the Valley
and though snow is abundant at the surrounding ski resorts, it rarely lasts
long on the roadways. Sweaters, vests and fleece clothing are popular during
our fall and winter seasons. Unlike coastal B.C., Kelowna is sunny. Dressing
in layers is recommended for optimum comfort, especially in the spring and
fall seasons, as temperatures can fluctuate between cool mornings and hot
daytimes but return to cool evenings.
