Okanagan Wine & Cycling
Join us for a trip picked by National Geographic Adventure as one of "the 25 best new outfitted trips". We promise to exceed your grape expectations in this wine and cycling paradise! The Okanagan Valley is a virtual Eden, with blanketed slopes of lush orchards and vineyards - more than 50 wineries dot the valley. It's no surprise that this area, blessed with a dry, mild climate and at a latitude similar to that of France, is becoming the country's new wine frontier. Planting the first grapes at his mission in 1859 Father Pandosy thought so, too, establishing the roots of Kelowna. Join us for a week of riding, relaxing and discovery in Canada's wine country! |

What do you get when you combine the best of the Canadian Rockies, Italy’s Lake District, and Napa Valley? The answer is the Okanagan Valley nestled in the snow capped Caribou, Monashee and Selkirk Mountains in South-Central British Columbia. World famous for what is perhaps the finest grape growing region in the entire world, the Okanagan serves up adventures and scenic beauty that combine the best of North America. Towering glacier capped Mountains, clear mountain lakes and streams, sheer granite cliffs, rolling fruit orchards and vineyards, plus even a few cacti!
The valley has long warm summer days, combined with cool evening temperatures creating large human smiles and small grapes with high sugar content and acidity perfect for the production of intensely flavored and aromatic wines. Whether canoeing, biking, wine tasting, boating, or hiking on this trip always remember to stop frequently to inhale the blossom scented mountain air and gaze at the supernatural views.
Our tour will take us along hillsides covered in beautiful spring flowers, enjoy the warm summer sun or thrill to the brilliance of fall colors. Chill with snow-covered peaks, enjoy a quiet tour along cool, forested roads or trek along paved roads under wide, blue skies. |
