Okanagan Valley Wineries and Vineyards 
One
of the most popular attractions in the Okanagan Valley is touring the countryside
visiting the many wineries and vineyards located in the region. The
wineries in the Okanagan Valley were the first to operate in British Columbia
and today, produce some of Canada's most celebrated wines winning many awards
on the international stage.
The contact information for each vineyard
and winery is listed under each community along with wine tours, winery guides
and accommodations that specialize in vineyard tours.
The
Okanagan Valley wineries and
vineyards enjoy long sunshine days creating moderate warm temperatures. And
when the warm air mixes with the cool intermittent air, it produces wines higher
in acids and more aromatic. An aromatic touch which is preferred on the world
markets. It is this weather system that enables wineries a long fermentation
process which produces a lighter, fruitier wine.
The
spring season, usually starts around March, when the vineyards open their doors
to wine tours and wine tasting. And during the Fall, grapes are harvested. In
October, picking season kicks in.
One
of the most popular times to visit an Okanagan Valley winery is during “Harvest
Weekend” in late October. It is an opportunity to observe grapes being crushed.
A process which ends with a final racking and starts again with the turning
of the barrels.
