Penticton wine tours: an overview

The Naramata Bench is the destination for most Penticton wine tours, with a third of this wine region located within city limits. You’ll be spoiled for choice here, with the Bench being home to the highest concentration of boutique wineries anywhere in British Columbia.

But that’s not the only reason to visit. It’s also absolutely gorgeous, with the elevated vineyards gently sloping down to the sparkling waters of Okanagan Lake, which is backdropped by rugged mountains. It’s a little piece of heaven right here in British Columbia.

In this post, I’ll be focusing on Penticton wine tours to the Naramata Bench only. But most of the feature wine tour operators also offer excursions to other local wine regions, as described below.

Other local wine regions

Situated on the other side of Okanagan Lake, Summerland is another popular Penticton wine tour destination. This region features more than a dozen boutique wineries and has a more rustic ambience than the Naramata Bench.

Looking south of Penticton, there is a scattering of wineries on both sides of Skaha Lake . Continuing beyond Okanagan Falls , this small community hosts an elegant collection of wineries as well. This underrated region is less popular for Penticton wine tours at the current time but I don’t think that will last long!

The Similkameen Valley is even lesser known, despite grapes being grown in this area for decades. This pristine stretch of vineyards near Keremeos is surrounded by rugged mountains.

The Oliver and Osoyoos area receives the hottest temperatures of all wine regions in the Okanagan Valley, resulting in the most robust red wines. The drive from Penticton is relatively long (minimum 45 minutes one-way) but for red wine fans, it’ll be more than worth the time.

Penticton wine tour operators

It’s always nice to support local when you can. The following wine tour operators are located right here in Penticton.

Grape Escapes

Grape Escapes is a Penticton-based wine tour company offering social yet educational tours of the Naramata Bench. Wine industry-certified guides drive modern, luxurious high-top vans, all with air conditioning.
