Harvest season; what we lose in flowers, we more than gain in fruits.
October & November
The fall season in the Okanagan is a wonderful celebration of bounty and harvest. It's also a great season for discovering new wines, going for a walk or hike, or touring art galleries and downtown boutiques.

This family run cidery is located on an orchard that was once part of the land area nicknamed Millionaires’ Row. Using apples grown from this orchard, we carefully blend and create ciders that are uniquely crisp, clean and refreshing. Each one of our ciders tells a part of the rich and inspiring history of Summerland’s early days.
The Ornamental Gardens, located just 5 minutes from the Resort, feature stunning flowers, plants, and landscaping in one exceptional showcase. Stroll the peaceful pathways and take in the amazing work of Mother Nature and the local people who have created and tend to these for everyone’s enjoyment. This botanical gem is a perfect place to walk, relax, and snap photos—ideal for garden lovers, families, and anyone craving a quiet, beautiful outing.
