A vintage for every taste. Hours of sunshine. Trails that
stretch to the horizon or lead to
the top of a mountain. The perfect
recipe to cultivate a moment in the
Wine Capital of Canada. Mix with
any season, and add a twist or two
- and enjoy. What twists you ask?
Winter in wine country invites you
to think pink at a rosé revolution.
The snow may be falling outside,
but inside we’re toasty, and
toasting a worldwide “drink pink”
mantra. Why not? The lengthy
harvest season is coming to a
close, and it’s time to celebrate.
Speaking of pink, as the days grow
longer and the sun glows brighter,
spring brings a vista of blossoms
reaching skyward, inspiring artists
to capture the season, or drawing
you out to walk amongst the buds,
with birdsong as your soundtrack.
Bring binoculars, you never know
who you might see in the trees...our
resident owl population, perhaps?
Summer turns golden, and it’s
Oliver’s season to shine...or glisten.
Marathon season begins, golfers
are dotting the greens, bikes whirl
down trails. Break a sweat, then
reward yourself with a tasting or
two at a local winery or a gourmet
dinner on a patio, or a picnic in a
park as the notes from a concert
sail through the warm evening air.
Autumn? That’s harvest time, from
crushing grapes to baking apple
pies, it’s farm to table (or wine
glass) season.
From vintage to vintage, taste to
taste, you’ll be back for seconds.

Summer Summer means sunshine in
abundance. One of our wine
trails is called the Golden
Mile...it’s bathed in sunlight
and a warm glow falls over
the vineyards and mountains,
creating a perfect backdrop.
Soak up some vitamin D and
get some exercise here in
triathlon country. Choose from
a number held in the Oliver
area if you swim, bike and
run, or volunteer and cheer on
competitors from around the
world.
Give your legs a workout with a
bike ride; a short one on a trail,
or a long one up a mountain, or
how about lifting a glass? More
than two dozen wineries will
help you hydrate during these
hot, dry weeks. Take a break on
a winery patio with some local
charcuterie or a gourmet dinner
as the sun sets.
Like to Instagram the art on
your plate? Show off your own creations as you cultivate your
burgeoning chef skills with
filtered selfies at a cooking class. Sure to impress your
friends and followers.
Take a break at a museum or art
gallery and learn about Oliver’s
colourful history. Finish the day
with Music in the Park, with your
toes embracing the cool grass
and your ears enjoying some
cool tunes, or grab a partner
and dance the night away as
the stars come out.

Autumn Oliver summers gently ease
into fall. The warmth of the sun
is still present, but a sing-along
by a campfire may be in order as the evenings become crisp
and refreshing, like a local
Riesling. The bounty of harvest
comes to life at fruit stands full
of colour, and our vibrant grape
harvest begins in earnest.
Book an extended stay for
the Okanagan Fall Wine
Festival, or browse dozens of
events throughout the region,
including the Festival of the
Grape. Join a team, strip off the sandals (yes, it’s still warm
enough to expose the toes),
and hop in a basket to stomp
grapes in front of a cheering
crowd.
Not keen on grape-stained
legs? Why not climb a ladder?
The harvest season is long
and varied, and nothing tastes
better than your own, hand-
picked and hand-made farm-
to-table creations, from veggie
stir fry to fruit pie. Explore fruit
stands dotted along highways
and country roads, gathering
fresh ingredients.
Take a break from the fruits of
your labour. Head outdoors to
watch the salmon run, or hike
up McIntyre Bluff in search of wildlife and truly get back to
the land, capturing the stillness
of a moment in the Wine
Capital of Canada.

WinterThe hustle and bustle of harvest
is now a warm memory, and the
landscape becomes tranquil
around Oliver…but it merely
covers layers of activity beneath
it. The cool silence is broken by
the sounds of a concert or play
floating down the street, friends gathered at an art show or a local
theatre - the Frank Venables
auditorium is a gem, ready for
action - or a winter walk on a
snowy trail.
Warm up after a day outside with
dinner and a show. The South
Okanagan Concert Series, the
Oliver Movie Theatre and troupes
of actors walking the planks
of a stage make for a perfect
entertaining end to a winter’s day
of exploration.
Cold enough for you? Grab a
thermos full of java from a local
coffee shop, your favourite tackle, and wait for the big one to come
along. Wave a friendly hello to
your fellow ice-fishers on Vaseux Lake. Take your skates and stick
out for a game on natural ice.
Nearby, Mount Baldy is a
friendly mountain retreat yet to
be discovered, with untracked
powder, tree skiing and boarding.
A getaway of solitude and
stillness with enough sport to get
your heart pumping.
We still celebrate wine in winter,
with a Rose Revolution to remind
us that we are the Wine Capital
of Canada, no matter the season,
and winter in wine country.

Inspiration surrounds us, from sunsets, to the snow-dusted mountain peaks, to vineyards, to music floating through the air . Our performers act, sing, dance and play all year round .
Take a setting sun, mix in some live music, add a dash of fragrant evening air, and stir . Outdoor concerts can make a summertime getaway extra special, whether it’s grooving to jazz in the park or catching the first glimpse of a “soon-to-be-stars” band at a local winery . It’s the perfect backdrop for an outdoor music gig – from

Stimulate all of your senses - including a feast for your eyes . The technicolour beauty of farmer’s orchards and the desert sky inspires painters, sculptors, and other artists to put their best brush (or yarn spinner) forward .

We’ve got lots of them . Take one to savour a new favourite wine on a sun-soaked patio . Another to learn a new art form . Stare into the distance as the perfect swing sends your golf ball to the green . Or breathe crisp winter air atop a snowy mountain trail .
Like a good recipe, Oliver lets you play with the best of its ingredients to create the perfect stay . Take a dash of the outdoors, a measure of culture, combine with creativity and top with fresh fruit and air…perfection .
Enjoy a winter walk, or ice fishing on Vaseux Lake, and once the muscles tire, area wineries will tempt your
palate with winter in wine country, from traditional mulled cider to a rosé revolution .
In the warmer months, mix your love of the outdoors with a hike, bike or marathon . We’ve even got one race that combines your run with wine .
And if that’s not enough to impress your friends, a plethora of fishing holes — some of the best trout spots in the world — will surely help you craft a good “one that got away” story .
Springtime blossoms, summer star-gazing, autumn vineyards, the reflection of winter ice . It’s your Oliver moment . Savour it .

Spring Spring is a season of sights
in Oliver: birds and blossoms
abound. Break out the
binoculars.
More than 28,000 species of
birds await the avid or amateur
ornithologist. Whether you’ve
got binoculars, a telephoto
camera or a smartphone in your
pocket, you’ll be reaching for
it to capture an image of our
feathered friends, perhaps even
a “who’s who” of the local owl
population if you’re lucky.
As you’re looking up, take
a moment to breathe in
the blossoms. A sign of the
cultivation to come, Oliver’s
area orchards and vineyards
become a colour palette
worthy of a masterful painting,
as trees and vines signal their
readiness for the warm sun.
Don’t be surprised to find artists capturing the season, or an art
fair where you can pick up a
new treasure.
Take out a special pair of shoes,
your choice: hiking boots or
golf shoes? It’s time to get
into the swing of spring. Our
trails beckon for exploration,
after all, that’s where the birds
congregate and nature tempts
you to take a moment to listen
to the music of birdsong.
Looking to master your swing,
or merely putt around a green?
Golf is definitely in season, with several courses to suit any level
from beginner to “almost a pro.”

Whether it’s ascending McIntyre Bluff, trekking the backcountry to Ripley and Madden Lakes, or strolling the boardwalk at Vaseux Lake to glimpse a golden eagle, there’s a trail to get you out of (and around) town .
Desert-like conditions mean Oliver is home to a variety of unique flora and fauna, and new trails to explore the area evolve every few years . Bring your bicycle — Oliver’s 18 .8 km Hike and Bike Trail allows for two-wheeled adventures, and you may want to stop to catch the salmon run . Be sure to ride and hike with care, because the natural beauty includes prickly pear cactus — also known as ‘jumping cactus’ . You might not want to find out why, so it’s best to stay on the trails .
Geocachers: you’re in luck . At present, we maintain many geocaches in the area, in some pretty unusual places . Don’t know what geocaching is? Think of doing a scavenger hunt, but around the world . Our ‘travel bugs’ have gone tens of thousands of kilometres, around British Columbia, Alberta, Europe, even the South Pacific . If you find a cache, be sure to log it .
Take a hike . You’ll be rewarded with some remarkable things: like 100-year-old antelope brush, the savoury aroma of wild grey sage, towering Ponderosa pines, highway-marked turtle crossings, and even a herd of California Bighorn Sheep . Have
your camera or smartphone ready for some great pics .Oliver Parks & Rec

Ye Olde Welcome Inn
Known around the Okanagan for fresh food & excellent service!
Set under the dramatic landscape of McIntyre Bluff (Indian Head),
the historic Ye Olde Welcome Inn has been a long-time favourite
place for people to relax and dine by the real wood burning
fireplace. Enjoy a barbeque on the patio or play a game of pool
or darts.
Our extensive menu features most meals for under $10 or up to
$20.95 for a New York Steak and Lobster. You can depend on
Dale or any of the eight year-round staff to give you “old school
service” every day of the year.
Come savour fresh, homemade food served by well trained staff in
our warm, friendly and comfortable establishment!
