Along with all of the year-round outdoor recreational activities available, agriculture has been an important contributor to Penticton’s livelihood. There are over 80 wineries in the Penticton area, 8 craft breweries, 2 cideries and 3 distilleries all within easy walking or biking distance of the downtown core.
