Day 1
Start your vacation right with a gold star breakfast at Eatology, famous for their eggs Benedict.
Next, cruise over to the Vernon Farmers’ Market for locally grown produce, local artisan products, and live music.
Let your creativity take hold when you sign up for a class at the Vernon Community Arts Centre. Try a Fused Glass & Gewürztraminer or Paint & Pinot night. If you are visiting on a Friday evening, pop outside to the park and check out the Polson Artisan Night Market from May to September.

Head to Vernon’s charming and historic downtown for a little shopping at our boutiques, souvenir, and treat shops.
For the afternoon, you can book a whisky or gin tasting experience to learn how Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery make their award-winning spirits. Don’t forget to buy a bottle to bring home as a souvenir.
For a little something different and a lot of fun, check out Meet and Geek at the Okanagan Science Centre. These adult nights of fun at the science centre feature various topics and have appetizers and drinks too.
Day 3
Get centered and enjoy some good fun at Yoga with goats hosted at the Historic O’Keefe Ranch.
"The Trails Capital of BC" isn't a title we take lightly. Head out and explore some of the iconic viewpoints like Turtle Mountain and soak up views of the three stunning lakes that surround our beautiful valley.
Grab delicious lunch at The Roxy Café (vegan and Gluten intolerant friendly), or head to Cambium Cider Co for a tasting in the orchard and wood fired-pizza.
