🍬Summerland Sweets🍬
In the early 1960‘s, founder Ted Atkinson worked out of a picker’s cabin on his orchard where he started producing fruit jelly candies for the local Rotary Club fundraiser. He soon turned to commercial production and what began as a fundraising effort blossomed into Summerland Sweets!
Summerland Sweets is dedicated to quality. Only the best tree and vine ripened fruit, picked at the peak of maturity, is harvested with the fruit being processed immediately to capture maximum flavour and colour. From its modest beginnings, Summerland Sweets has grown considerably and now offers much more than jellied candy. A full range of fruit-based products including pancake syrups, gourmet jams,
nut brittles, and many gift packages are available.
Make a stop for a visit of the grounds and one of the best ice cream cones in the valley. The store also carries local pottery, artwork, and gift items in addition to their fruit product items.
Summerland Sweets is open year-round with shorter hours in the winter.

🚂Kettle Valley Steam Railway 🚂
A must-see attraction in the South Okanagan is the
Kettle Valley Steam Railway. The KVSR showcases
a unique part of Okanagan and British Columbia
history in magical way.
The Kettle Valley Railway was built from 1910-15,
providing access to the pioneer fruit industry into
world markets. It transported families, created
employment, and led to many stories and folklore
that are an important part of Okanagan history.
TAKE A RIDE
Experience an unforgettable ride on the only
preserved section of this historic railway, sure to
be a highlight of your visit to the South Okanagan
and the Summerland region.
The sights and sounds of the restored 1912 steam
locomotive, “3716”, will take you back to a long
past era, complete with lively music and historical
commentary.
TRAIN TRIPS
The 90-minute journey in a vintage passenger
coach or open air car along the 16km route offers
beautiful vistas ranging from lush orchards and
vineyards to a spectacular view of Okanagan Lake;
when the train stops in the middle of the Trout
Creek Trestle 73m/238ft above the canyon floor,
you’ll want to be ready to take many "Instagramworthy"
images.
The GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY is a two-hour journey
that includes a barbeque meal.
Experience the thrill and a taste of the Old Wild
West. Your heart will race as the notorious Garnet
Valley Gang rides out of the hills to stop the train
and rob passengers.
