August 10, 2010Tales from the Open Road: A Thompson-Okanagan WeekendSummer goes by in a flash, so sip and suntan while you still can. Thompson-Okanagan is the perfect spot for a girls’ getaway—oenophiles, foodies and R&R seekers will adore every moment of this summer itinerary. Take the “Corkscrew Drive” from the town of Okanagan Falls, one of British Columbia’s most exciting wine regions overlooking gorgeous views of Skaha and Vasuex Lake, and taste along the way. Head up to West Kelowna to check out the distinctive bell tower that will guide you to Mission Hill Family Estate Winery—be sure to try their Legacy Series of high-end wines. Raise a glass of rosé bubbly at Summerhill Pyramid Winery and seek the mystical pyramid where the wines are aged to perfection.

The hardest part of this vacation is going home. Plan your itinerary and see more at www.bctripideas.com
