On the eastern shores of Okanagan Lake you will find a wonderful community surrounded by vineyards, orchards and the finest views of the Valley. Naramata, BC was founded in 1907. It was established as an agricultural area but quickly became known as a cultural centre. People from all over would arrive by boat for plays, concerts, operas and regattas. In 1914 the Kettle Valley Railway was completed and Naramata has new link to the rest of BC. The Kettle Valley Railway construction through the Naramata area was one of the most difficult due to the intense volume of rock.

Naramata was founded by John Moore Robinson. It is named after Naramattah, the wife of the Sioux Indian Chief Big Moose and means the Smile of the Manitou. John Robinson also founded the townships of Summerland and Peachland.

When in Naramata you can explore the many orchards, vineyards and even take a nice hiking trip along the historic railway. If you are looking for some more adventurous hiking there are trails up the rugged mountain tops.

Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park offers secluded bays and sandy campground. You can take in the unspoiled habitat on bike, horseback or on foot. The sunny beaches of Manitou Park are a great place to spend the day swimming, boating, and having a picnic. The Naramata Heritage Inn & Spa is the perfect location to relax and unwind and if you want to learn a little more about the area visit the Naramata Heritage Museum. Home to many artists, the local shops are a wonderful place to find local creations.

Since there is no road access from the north, Naramata is visited only by those who realize all it has to offer. Peace, serenity, golden sunsets and beautiful views from all locations, Naramata is truly a wonderful place to visit or call home.
