I've done a lot of posts talking about wine regions I've had the opportunity to visit, and I hate that it's taken me this long to talk about one of my favourite regions - the Okanagan Valley! As a BC girl, the Okanagan is practically a second home to me, and aside from the fact that this wine region is a small fish (or a minnow :P) in the wine world, it's winning countless awards every single year! CedarCreek Estate Winery, Quails' Gate Winery, and Mission Hill Family Estate are just a few examples that have recently brought home top awards from the Decanter World Wine Awards.

I think that alone is enough to bring attention to this incredible region, but I can't rave enough about the beauty of it as well! The 2hr drive from Kelowna in the northern part of the region down to the town of Osoyoos on the US border includes views that make you want to pack your bags and move here! Trust me, I did at one point ;)
I've been so focused on visiting regions abroad lately, that I'm long overdue for a visit here. The plan is to go this spring, and when we do I'll be following that trip up with a bigger blog post covering some great wineries! I just wanted to do a quick one now to at least get this region on your radar (if it isn't already!).
If you are planning on visiting the Okanagan anytime soon, LET ME KNOW! I'm happy to help you plan out where to visit :):)
Thanks for reading <3
