A PLACE TO LIVE FOREVER!
A popular destination in the Okanagan Valley, situated between Skaha Lake and Okanagan Lake, Penticton is surrounded by scores of vineyards that produce award-winning wines and offer world-renowned chef-inspired menus and tastings. The drive north from Penticton to Naramata along Lake Okanagan offers breathtaking scenery of the vines as they stretch down to the lakeshore below. Beaches, swimming, tubing, the Kettle Valley Rail Trail, rock climbing on Skaha Bluffs, golfing and so much more bring visitors here year after year.
Pen-tic-ton, as translated by the local Salish Native Americans, means “a place to live forever” (the commonly accepted translation) or “a place to live year-round”.
