The Okanagan valley is blessed with the
perfect climate for viniculture, and has more than 50 VQA certified
wineries. Peachland is ideally located midway between Kelowna and
Penticton, with easy access to the valley's wineries.
Hainle Estates in Peachland was the original producer of ice
wines in the Okanagan. The valley hosts four wine festivals each year.
Visit the wine
festivals site for more information about the festivals and the

Activities |

Bring your swim suit and/or sand pails. Okanagan Lake is a summer paradise for boating, sailing and swimming.
There are sand beaches and gravel beaches from Penticton to Kelowna.
Peachland has a 5 km walkway along the lakefront, with supervised
swimming at Swim Bay. Boat launching ramps are just north of Swim Bay
and just south of the stop light. For boat and jet-ski rentals, check out

The Okanagan
valley has sections of the
Trans Canada Trail in Kelowna, Naramata and Penticton. Peachland has
three local trails, one leading to the summit of Pincushion mountain.
Ponderosa Pines B&B is located at the base of Pincushion mountain, 30
metres from the start of the trail. Click

Peachland trails. |
| Golf |

If it isn't
wine, it's golf. We overlook the 13th green of the
Ponderosa Golf
Club. Ask us about our golfing specials. With over a dozen
courses in the Central Okanagan, and over 40 in the Okanagan valley, you
will easily find the course of your dreams. Check out all the courses at
Golf Okanagan. |
| Steam
Trains |
 |
|
Once upon a time, there was
a little railway that could, running through southern BC. The Kettle
Valley railway has disappeared except for historic steam train runs in
Summerland. For schedules (including train robbery days) check out the
KVR
site. The old rail bed is part of the Trans-Canada trail. Sections in
Kelowna, Naramata, Penticton and Summerland are now used as hiking and
biking trails. |
