Wine Country
We are located in the heart of Wine Country.
Here we have a map of the tasting rooms all within 20 minutes of Oroville. Diversity within the Okanogan Valley wine region goes well beyond variable microclimates and grape varieties. Wine styles also vary broadly throughout the valleys, as do the nationalities of their winemakers. Look for wine styles reminiscent of those found in Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Winemakers within this multi-ethnic winemaking region often pay homage to the wine styles of their homelands. We also have three active wine tasting vineyards in the oroville area: Lake Crest Winery, Esther Bricques Winery, and Okanogan Estate & Vineyards.

The valley plays host to 40 golf courses - including many unique and championship courses. It is a four-hour drive from Vancouver, BC via the Hope/Princeton Highway or the Coquihalla Highway.

The Lakes
Pristine mountain lakes.
Probably one of the key amenities to this area are the many lakes. Statistically, if you fished in a different lake every month it would take you ten years to fish all of the lakes in Okanogan County. Pictured above is Beth Lake, Beaver Lake and Lake Osoyoos, also we have Blue Lake, Wannacut Lake, Spectacle Lake, Palmer Lake, Sidley Lake, just to name a few. You can view many listings located on or near these lakes by clicking HERE. I have a website that describes a lot of these lakes in our area individually.
