A Sustainable Destination

Nestled in the Southern Interior of British Columbia, Canada, the Thompson Okanagan is a diverse area covering approximately 71, 600 km² / 27,644 mi², roughly the same size as Ireland.

Home to over 90 communities and over 200 licensed wineries, the landscape is as varied as the tallest peak in the Canadian Rockies to the semi-arid climate of the Okanagan Desert.

It is a region rich in Indigenous culture, sun-soaked valleys surrounded by sweeping grasslands and connected throughout by water.

We are so proud to share with the world this beautiful place we call home, however we are all learning the impact of tourism on our environment and social systems can be significant. The Thompson Okanagan region is committed to working consciously to do our best to protect our natural and cultural resources, and ask that our guests travel respectfully and responsibly so this region maybe enjoyed by all who live and visit here for years to come.
