Did you hear? The Okanagan Valley has been named one of 12 underrated wine regions to visit this fall by Vogue Magazine! 🍷⁠

Here are three reasons we agree: ⁠

1. The wine! From a good Okanagan Pinot Gris to a delicious Cabernet Sauvignon and over 180 licensed wineries, you'll have many options to sample

2. The scenery. Rolling hills, picturesque lakes, and mountains in the distance? Take us there immediately. ⁠

3. The adventure. The Okanagan Valley is an adventurer's paradise waiting to be explored. ⁠From hiking to cycling, canyoning to skiing, this region has it all. ⁠

Did you know? The Okanagan Valley is the same latitude as Champagne in France and the Rheingau in Germany 🍷

Breathe in, breathe out. ⁠

Did you know that time spent in the outdoors can have a profound impact on your mental health? ⁠

It's been proven that spending time in nature can reduce cortisol (stress hormone) and raise endorphin levels and dopamine production. There's a strong connection between time outdoors and a reduction in symptoms of anxiety and depression. ⁠

In fact, physicians in Canada can prescribe Parks Canada passes to patients in order to improve mental and physical health. ⁠

This , we encourage you to spend some time in the great outdoors as one of the ways in which you can care for your mental health. ⁠

Even better? Invite a friend along, and take some time to check in with them on how they're feeling.⁠
