Things to do in Vernon, Okanagan Valley: The Best Gift & Specialty Shops
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.

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!

We were very fortunate to book in for an Alpaca Walk for our family of 4. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that Julene is passionate about her animals and the land. We enjoyed every moment of our 1.5 hour walk, learned a lot about the alpacas and smiled from start to finish. Julene was very patient as we sauntered, took tons of photos and did not feel rushed at all. It was a real treat and well worth it!
