      I constantly amazed at the beauty of this land called  Kelowna, British Columbia. Having had privilege of flying  over the valley annually because of my work.The glorious diversity of the countryside never ceases to amaze me, so much more to offer beyond spectacular scenery. Long hours of summer sunshine draw vacationers to pristine lakes and beaches. The climate also delivers a bountiful harvest from the valley's orchards, farms and vineyards. Farmers markets and fruit stands offer an unbelievable variety of fresh produce and local wineries continue to gain stature on the world stage with their award-winning vintages.

      This is also called, "home to more 100 wineries". The sloping terraces, high daytime temperatures,and nighttime cooling effect of the lakes provide the perfect environment for growing grapes. Visitors to the valley enjoy wine tours and tastings.

     The Okanagan wine industry has become big business and a major asset to local tourism . Wineries range from large facilities to small family-run operations.

      Most of the lakes is popular for camping, boating and water sports. Skaha Lake Park in Penticton offers visitors red sand beaches, tennis courts,slides, rafts and volleyball courts.

     The centerpiece of Mission Hill Winery's stunning architecture is it's twelve-story bell tower. the largest of the tower's four bells weighs 800 kilograms.

golfing at Black Mountain...

Black Mountain golf & country club

      Black Mountain Golf Club Kelowna, British Columbia. Predator Ridge is another popular 18-hole golf courses just minutes from downtown Vernon.

      A fresh picked fruits from the farm, red cherries, rainier cherries, yellow nectarines & apples. Delicious!
