Dive into Penticton with the Daily Special

Penticton’s amazing setting in a valley flanked by two pristine lakes, Okanagan Lake and Skaha Lake, with vineyards, orchards and trails skirting up into the craggy hills is enchanting to explore. Every day offers a new adventure and the Daily Special is a nod to the local connections. While Penticton is known for its distinctly laid-back vibe, there’s a vibrant culinary identity that rises right from the patchwork of vineyards, orchard-dotted hills, the fertile farm plots, and the sun-dappled lakes.

Your Culinary Adventure Awaits

Sample the season as epicurean delights shift. Amid early blossoms, earthy greens, tangy berries and rhubarb spring forth. Summer sun sweetens a cycle of orchard goodness – first cherries, then peaches, apricots, plums, pears and apples. As autumn approaches, there are melons, carrots, squashes, beets, tomatoes and so much more.

Engage all your senses in strolling and shopping the Penticton Farmer’s Market in all its bounty. Meet the local farmers and artisans providing their goods and chefs and restaurateurs scooping up the best of ingredients.

Over 80 wineries await in close proximity. And The Lonely Planet travel guide named Penticton as Canada’s Craft Beer Capital. Check out the cideries and craft distilleries, too.
