OLIVER, BC – WINE CAPITAL OF CANADA

Quaint & Charming Town
Oliver is located approximately 25 minutes north of the US border in the South Okanagan. Desert to the south, lakes, mountains, vineyards and orchards surround the town and make this area one of the most picturesque places in the Okanagan.

With Over 30 wineries in the immediate vicinity of Oliver,  it is often referred to the “Napa of the North”, hosting many events of the the Okanagan Spring and Fall Wine Festivals, with wonderful food, people and wines. Something to come and be a part of….. pleasing to the palate and soul!

Oliver also boasts a wonderful climate year round, and lots of activities for all seasons from golfing at one of the local golf courses and for basking in the sun by our local Tuc-el-Nuit Lake to skiing at Mount Baldy Ski Resort or snowshoeing at our local Nordic Track.

Come and see our quaint but progressive little town!
