On your short and scenic ferry trip to this island of history and romance you may be accompanied by magnificent orcas, playful otters and mischievous gulls. Your destination is one of the most rugged and unspoiled parts of Canada and the home of a new breed of winemakers. The typical Island winery is a family-based operation displaying a passion for turning grapes into good times. The inland Cowichan Valley and southeastern Saanich Peninsula provide a variety of conditions perfect for experimentation and the growing and nurturing of an eclectic array of sought-after labels. Look for varietals including Ortega, Pinot Gris, Maréchal Foch and Pinot Noir. TURN TO PAGE 10 FOR MAP 5 GULF ISLANDS A ferry-tale adventure. Their names read like wine labels. Salt Spring, Thetis, Saturna, Quadra and Hornby. British Columbia’s Gulf Islands lie in the Georgia Strait that separates Vancouver Island from the mainland and are connected by a network of small ferries. The residents reflect a simpler time when help was as near as a neighbour; hopefully one with an unopened bottle and corkscrew. This timeless attitude carries over to the unique varieties of the region; wines that appeal more to the palate than to pretence. This wine-producing region brings tradition, enduring values and passion to the shared pleasures of fine wines and good friends. Look for varietals including Ortega, Zweigelt, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir. TURN TO PAGE 12 FOR MAP FRASER VALLEY Here’s to the rural life. The Fraser Valley is Vancouver’s backyard; a rural paradise stretching for over 150 kilometres from the west coast and one of the world’s most spectacular cities. The Valley off ers an unforgettable look into a thriving agricultural community. Over half of the province’s agricultural activity is centred here and includes vineyards dedicated to some of the most popular and acclaimed wine labels. In the time since the fi rst Fraser Valley winery opened in 1991, local growers have developed and nurtured a region especially suited to early-ripening varietals. Look for varietals including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Germanic white grapes. TURN TO PAGE 13 FOR MAP 7 OKANAGAN VALLEY Where the sun comes to play. SUBREGIONS Lake Country The Coastal and Monashee mountain ranges shelter the Okanagan Valley from wet weather Okanagan Centre and create hot and dry, top-down summers.

West Kelowna The roads connecting the laid-back cities and towns within the area are as full of pleasant surprises Peachland as the wines they bring you to, from vintners who respect tradition without blindly following it. Summerland Naramata The Okanagan Valley is an ever-changing panorama stretching over 250 kilometres across Penticton ten distinct sub-regions, each with different soil and climate conditions suited to a growing Kaleden range of varietals. Okanagan Falls Oliver Look for varietals from Pinots and Chardonnay to Syrah and Zinfandel. Osoyoos TURN TO PAGE 15 FOR MAP SIMILKAMEEN VALLEY A river runs through it. The spectacular Similkameen Valley is bordered by steep mountains extending from west of the Okanagan Valley to the United States border. Back in the 1800s, the river running through it gave up gold to eager prospectors. Today the Valley’s treasure is found in fertile land and a climate perfect for the production of wines as fine as any in the world. The Cathedral Mountains hold the daytime heat, and temper the coolness that descends with the night. Exceptional varietals are nurtured by rich gravel and silt loam formed from glacial rock. Look for varietals including Merlot, Gamay Noir, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay along with some very fine Rieslings and Gewürztraminers.

  • Technical Report for Naramata Bench Sub-GI
    Naramata Bench Sub-Geographic Indication January 2018 Technical Description and Geographic Extent Documentation in support of a formal application to the BC Wine Authority for the creation of a new Sub-GI named Naramata Bench. Scott Smith, Eterrna Consulting Pat Bowen, Summerland Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Naramata Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Naramata Bench Sub- Geographic Indication TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO N AND GEOGRAPHIC EXT ENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The ‘Naramata Bench’ brand is firmly established in a regional socioeconomic context and particularly within the BC wine and wine tourism industry. The proposed sub-Geographic Indication (sub-GI) covers an area of just under 3,650 ha along the east side of the Okanagan Valley from Okanagan Mountain Provincial Park in the north to Penticton Creek within the City of Penticton in the south. The area includes approximately 250 ha of vineyards and some 50 wineries. The proposed sub-GI is composed of two landscape elements – the glaciolacustrine landscape and the mixed sediments landscape. The glaciolacustrine landscape is characterized by a gullied, gently undulating land surface and is the signature landform of the Naramata Bench. The second landscape element is the mixed deposits that lie above the glaciolacustrine landscape. At higher elevations are common outcrops of coarse grained metamorphic rocks (gneiss) which have been altered through geologic faulting and are termed ‘mylonite’ The soil used extensively for agriculture on the Naramata Bench sub-GI is the Penticton silt loam. This stone-free soil has a well-developed profile with a distinct organic matter-rich topsoil underlain by a highly favourable rooting zone up to 60 cm thick over the unweathered calcareous parent material.

It is most fortunate therefore, that we are able to accurately document the precise circumstances under which the Peachland Methodist Church, forerunner of Peachland United Church, came into existence. As you will see from the following document, a meeting of unattached, like-minded Methodists was held in the Orange Hall on August 19 th , 1907 to discuss the future of Methodism in Peachland. While we celebrate the first service in our church on November 5 th , 1911 as day 1 of our 100 year history, this document clearly shows that our church, at that time without a permanent home, is actually 104 years old this year. Two points of interest. This two page photocopied document was among a large box of papers donated to the church after two long-time Peachland United Church members Jeff and Jean Todd had both passed away. It is taken from a Minute Book, pages 2 and 3, that was obviously intended to be the official record of the new Methodist church.

    GALLERY 12391 PIXTON ROAD, LAKE COUNTRY | EXCLUSIVE DISCOVER KELOWNA’S REAL ESTATE COLDWELL BANKER JANE HOFFMAN REALTY A WORD FROM JANE The beginning of a new year always has me reflecting on the year that has just passed. Over the last 12 months, our world has changed so much. We’ve had to find new ways to do almost everything, from having business meetings to visiting with family and friends. Even though there have been challenges in adapting to a new way of life, I can’t help but feel inspired. While so much about our daily lives has changed, we’ve also prioritized what has always been most important to us. Almost every day, I am met with how people’s home-buying preferences have shifted with our changing times. Families are looking for spaces that let them spend more time together, outdoor areas that allow them to take in the Okanagan lifestyle from the comfort of their own property, and more green space for kids and pets. All of this gives me hope because spending time with loved ones in a home that is loved, and in this beautiful valley, is a great gift. I hope that in the new year you get to enjoy special spaces at home that bring you joy. Or perhaps your perfect home is waiting to be found…Whatever 2021 has in store I wish you and your family health and happy memories.
