Penticton, located in the South Okanagan Valley, is an hourlong flight west from Vancouver and a five-hour drive from Spokane, Washington. Its unique geography, between Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake, along with its mountain surroundings, offers an enviable climate with hot summers and mild winters. The city takes pride in its deep agricultural roots, award-winning wineries and craft breweries, and an outdoor culture that draws athletes and adventure seekers of all levels.

"I really do feel like we're experiencing a culinary renaissance here."
