Osoyoos
Osoyoos (population: 4,752) is located at the Okanagan Valley's southern tip, in the middle of Canada's only true desert. As this is the prime grape-growing region of BC, there are more than 15 estate wineries within a 15-minute drive of the town centre. Many visitors schedule their holidays there to coincide with the Spring and Fall Wine Festivals. Osoyoos is also a popular summer holiday destination and has gained an enviable reputation as the community of choice for retirees who wish to escape harsher Canadian climes. All in all, it's a true "lifestyle community," where people go to enjoy the good life.
