Thompson Okanagan

A landscape as diverse as the adventures within it

Home to the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies, Canada's only desert, and sprawling lakes, the Thompson Okanagan's natural wonders are only matched by its active spirit and world-class wine region.

A couple walks through the Liquidity Wines vineyard in Okanagan Falls, BC.

Vast grasslands, towering waterfalls, and verdant valleys set the stage for a vibrant agricultural and culinary scene. Spend the summer months hiking and biking through the region’s rolling hills, or fishing and boating in its glacier-fed lakes. When the temperature drops, head to the mountains for fresh tracks through pillowy champagne powder.

Relax and revel amidst the orchards, lakes, and vineyards of this southern oasis.
