Penticton's Wineries and Vineyards

The Okanagan is one of the premier wine-producing regions in the world and Penticton is certainly the hub of Wine Country. From renowned Ice Wines to an astonishing selection of varietals - Merlot, Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Frank, Pinot Noir, Shiraz and many more - the Penticton area wines, particularly those from the Naramata Bench, are making a name for themselves world-wide.

Visitors to the Penticton area will want to be sure to visit the charming wineries that produce these wonderful wines. Set amidst some of the most beautiful countryside you'll ever encounter, Penticton-area wineries range from diminutive farm-gate operations producing hand-crafted wines to large commercial wineries. Each has it's own special character and surroundings, ranging from sere desert to lush bench lands.

Within a 45 minute drive of your Penticton base there are over fifty wineries for you to visit and enjoy.

The Okanagan Wine Festivals - One of the Top Attractions in North America!

Spring Okanagan Wine Festival
Every year around the first of May there is a celebration of the new vintages of Okanagan wines. Okanagan Wine Country wineries and vineyards are a hive of activity. Come join with us, taste the wines, enjoy the great events and discover one of the finer things in life!

Fall Okanagan Wine Festival
Fall is the time of harvest and for wine makers it's a critical time as the grapes that will be the foundation of the season's wines are harvested. The Fall Okanagan Wine Festival celebrates this bounty. It falls somewhere around the first week in October and it is a bonanza of wine tastings, cuisine, banquets and a myriad of other events to celebrate Okanagan wine.
