NARAMATA, UNCORKED

Stay
Until the Four Seasons opens in the Okanagan, Apple D'Or is your next best bet (or better). In a large log home overlooking the lake and Champagne vineyard, the three guest suites are up to 800 square feet and are fully wired and very private, with a no-expense-spared approach to décor and amenities. Recline by the pool and rhyme off the nearby wineries you'll tackle in the afternoon: Joie, Laughing Stock, Nichol Vineyard, Therapy

Apple D'or, 2587 Naramata Rd., Naramata, B.C., 250-496-4045, www.appledor.ca

Eat
Seasonality meets conviviality at Joy Road Catering's Thursday and Sunday night Alfresco vineyard dinners at God's Mountain Estate in nearby Penticton. New friendships are forged at the outdoor harvest table overlooking the lake—and one's faith in humanity is fully restored.

Do
Walk, bike or run off the night's festivities with an early morning jaunt on the meandering Kettle Valley Trail accessed above Nichol Vineyard. Expansive views at every turn, and an easy, flat road bordered by Indian Paintbrush and Black Eyed Susans. For a map, click here.
