Thanks to the mild climate of the Okanagan Valley, you can find a number of vineyards and wineries in the region, and wine tasting is a hit with couples and groups. At the Okanagan Mission museum, a preserved 19th-century building, you can learn about the area's native people and its Catholic settlers. Or you can get all zen at the tranquil Kasugai Garden—here, you can stroll along walking paths, through landscaped gardens featuring Japanese plants, a koi pond, and a number of serene, stone-and-wood buildings.
With the lake at your doorstep and plenty of mountains, forests, and parks in the surrounding area, Kelowna is truly a paradise for the outdoorsy. Boating and watersports on Okanagan Lake are popular, and you can find a number of outfitters offering canoe and kayak rentals in town. The lake also boasts a number of beaches, so if sunbathing's your thing, you won't be disappointed. Skiing and snowboarding are major draws during the winter months, and you can find plenty of slopes for all skill levels at the 2 nearby ski resorts.
Kelowna has a humid continental climate, with hot, dry summers and cold, overcast winters, as well as distinct intermediate seasons in between. Summer highs peak at 82 degrees in July and August, while average winter highs hover just above freezing in December and January. Spring and fall are relatively short, with temperatures changing fairly quickly from hot to cold (or vice-versa). With plenty to do in both the summer and winter seasons, you'll find that prices on Kelowna vacation rentals tend not to change much from one season to the next.
On the shore of Okanagan Lake, Kelowna lies in the center of the Okanagan Valley, a low-lying basin that's known for its sunny, mediterranean climate. Just south of town, Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park is home to more than 27,000 acres of forested wilderness on the eastern side of Okanagan Lake. The park's steep, wooded mountainsides and rocky peaks provide a habitat to countless species of local wildlife, including elk, moose, and mountain goats, as well as coyote, deer, and several types of birds. Your Kelowna vacation rental will put some of British Columbia's most pristine wilderness just outside your door.
