Winding along the volcanic slopes of Mt. Boucherie and overlooking Okanagan Lake, the Westside Wine Trail is where historic vineyards, destination dining, and relaxed lakefront living come together. This is a place to slow down, explore deeply, and savour every moment.

From rolling vineyard hills and lakeside vistas to farm‑driven kitchens and immersive winery stays, the Westside Wine Trail showcases the Okanagan at its most authentic. Home to more than 16 wineries—many family‑owned and rooted in generations of farming—this side of the valley invites you to experience wine country at a more relaxed, unhurried pace.

Whether you’re planning a weekend escape or building a longer stay around food and wine, the Westside offers a rare blend of accessibility and depth—scenic, soulful, and richly rewarding.
