Skaha Lake is hugged on three sides by three grape growing communities:
- Kaleden
- Okanagan Falls
- Penticton
This area includes the Skaha Bench, one of the five sub-GIs (sub-Geographical Indications) of the Okanagan Valley. The steep mountains carved out by the last ice age have left behind an abundance of micro-terroirs. Vineyards here can be gentle rolling hills but more often are dramatic and cliff like. This BC wine region is tiny and tucked away from many wine seekers, but when sought out, you'll find everything your wine loving heart desires. From wild, skin contact and pet-nats, to ultra-premium wine for your cellar, and everything in between.
Come enjoy wine made with love, made in the vineyard and that tells the story of the season, the place, and the grape farmer.
It's time for a private Okanagan wine tour that does more than just taste wine, it's to connect you to the land and the people of Okanagan Falls & Kaleden.
