Okanagan
Canadian wine region
Okanagan refers to a region, lake, and Indigenous people in the interior of British Columbia, Canada, extending into Washington State where it's typically spelled Okanogan.
The Okanagan Valley is known for its warm climate, vineyards, and fruit orchards, making it a major wine-producing area.
The Syilx or Okanagan people are the Indigenous inhabitants of this territory.
We spent the summer touring wineries in the Okanagan.
