2 Best Sights in Okanagan Wine Country, British Columbia

Indigenous World Winery

Fodor's choice
This is BC’s only 100% Indigenous-owned winery, blending traditional Syilx culture with modern style. Their tasting room has spectacular views of Lake Okanagan, their wine bottles are beautifully designed, and the vino is award-winning. There’s also a restaurant on-site.

Nk'Mip Desert Cultural Centre

Fodor's choice
Run by the Osoyoos Indian Band, this well-designed museum—the name is pronounced "in-ka-meep"—has exhibits about the area's aboriginal community, the region's natural setting, and the animals that make their home in this desert environment. Don't miss "Sssnakes Alive!," a daily show featuring live rattlesnakes and other creatures native to the area. You can also walk to a reconstructed village that includes two pit houses, a tepee, and a sweat lodge. (Bring water, since there's little shade along the trails.) The center's exterior is a striking, environmentally friendly earth wall built of a mix of soil, water, a small amount of cement, and pigment.
