Oliver & Osoyoos
Wineries
|
| Oliver was established
in 1921 by BC Premier John Oliver who had planned it
as a settlement for World War I veterans. Located in
Canada’s only desert, an irrigation system was
built and soon the area was lush and prosperous as a
fruit growing area.
Oliver is a lake community located next to Tuc-el-Nuit
and Mahoney Lakes. Canoeing, boating, fishing, swimming,
windsurfing and many other water sports are popular
with visitors and residence alike. Visit one of the
many apple, plum cherry, pear, peach and apricot orchards
or spend your time skiing, biking or hiking.
If you are looking for a great game of golf then Oliver
will not disappoint. It is home to two 18-hole golf
courses; Fairview Mountain Golf Course and Inkameep
Canyon Desert Golf Course . Both courses have full services,
new clubhouses and excellent golf.
Oliver is known as the Wine Capital of Canada and its
climate and soil are ideal for growing grapes. Many
award wining wines are produced by vineyards located
in the Oliver area. The wine industry is growing at
an incredible rate and most of the wineries welcome
visitors.
Osoyoos, meaning “where the water narrows”,
is a good description as the town spans the narrow part
of Osoyoos Lake. Osoyoos is also located in Canada’s
only desert and you can see both cacti and snakes. It
has less than 12 inches of rain per year and over 2,000
hours of sunshine and thus is home to a few endangered
species like the Tiger Salamander. If history is your
passion, you can visit a 1891 log cabin which has served
as a school house, jail and government house during
its lifetime. It now serves as the Osoyoos Museum and
is known as one of the best small town museums in BC.
With plenty of biking, hiking, golf and wineries –
Osoyoos is a great stop along your visit to the Okanagan
Valley.
