The Okanagan isn't just wine. It's the trail down to the waterfall, the hockey game at Prospera, the axe throwing lane, the desert cultural centre with the pit house, the pyramid winery, the ski hill an hour up the road.
This is the guide to everything between the pours. Same rule as the Nightlife Guide — four stars or better on Google, or it's not here. Some things are seasonal — those are tagged. Some are inside jokes only locals know. All of them are worth a stop on the way to somewhere else.
And when the day is longer than three hours — you know who to call.
Lake Country
Lake Country is quieter than Kelowna and slower than Vernon. Kalamalka Lake to the north is one of the most photographed lakes in Canada — the water changes colour by the hour depending on the light. Wood Lake sits below it. The Pelmewash Parkway runs between them.
The town is thin on manufactured attractions and rich in what's just outside.
