Although perhaps less flashy than its southern Okanagan neighbors Kelowna and Penticton, Vernon is a year round getaway offering an abundance of fun attractions from sunny beaches and golf courses in the summer to powdery ski slopes in the winter. The area's back country trails provide great exploration points, whether by bike, horseback riding, hiking, snowshoeing or snowmobiling. The pristine scenery of the Rockies surrounds the valley's plentiful vineyards.

Okanagan Spirits is Western Canada's oldest craft distillery spanning over a decade in the production of award-winning B.C. spirits. Internationally acclaimed as North America's only designated World Class Distillery (World Spirits Awards), our portfolio includes a range of spirits from Vodka, Whisky and Gin, to Liqueurs and Brandies (Eau de Vie) as well as Canada's first genuine Absinthe.
We visited the distillery in Vernon and the owner gave us a private tour and history. The space, itself, is beautiful--a combination of a retro-steampunk and pioneer vibe due in no small part to the gorgeous brass, steel and copper stills and tanks. The owner gave us an overview of the history of fruit and grain production in the Okanagan and explained how virtually all of the ingredients for the myriad spirits produced by them are locally grown. After the 30-minute tour, we tasted several of their products at the bar: award-winning Scotch-style whisky, Bourbon-style (we really liked the BLK BRBN!), Vodkas, Gins, and Liqueurs. All were well-made, smooth, and delicious spirits. The Raspberry Liqueur was out of this world. We took home several bottles and some very low-priced gift sets that will make excellent Christmas gifts. They even gave us bottles of their own hand sanitizer, produced and donated to front-line workers and the general public during the Covid-19 crisis. Unlike many of wineries that are actually owned by global conglomerates, this is a truly local operation and a world class one at that. Of the many winery and distillery tours we have taken all over the world, this one rates very highly, indeed!

This place has always been so good to us. We live in Calgary (7 hours away) and have a fusti. There aren't many places in Calgary that you can source oil from and even if you can they are expensive. Olive us sends us 3-5 Liters whenever we need it, for a good price and fast delivery. Last time we also ordered their SUPER delicious balsamic and sadly the bottle broke despite being packaged well. They had a new one out to us ASAP no questions asked! Highly recommend this place!

Beyond Belief Entertainment Centre was founded with the purpose of creating memorable experiences for all of our guests. Currently we offer Escape Rooms and Indoor Axe Throwing. A great way to spend some time with family and friends!
It was my first time ever going to Beyond Belief and doing an Escape Room, as well as my friend's first time. It was so worth it, the 60 minutes were well spent and we had such a blast trying to get the next clue to move on. We will be back!

Awesome flights of various cidars. I had not been a fan of ciders before but I am now. Beautiful outdoor seating in the orchard and amazing wood fired pizzas. Fully COVID compliant and well set up to ensure social distancing. If you want to see the live music in the evening be sure to book tickets weeks in advance.
