Summer has seemed to whiz by hasn’t it! One of my traditions is to head back to the Okanagan to get my fill of wine, fruit and sun. This time the weather was hot and smoky due to all those darn forest fires burning. But we still managed to get some early morning hikes in followed by some vineyard and fruit stand hopping. There’s nothing better than fresh fruit and as my office would attest, the plums and peaches are amazing this year! And if you are planning on visiting the Napa of the North, I would recommend September is also a lovely time to visit- the weather is still great and a lot quieter as most of tourists have left for the summer. And one of these years I’d like to make it back for fall wine fest, and cross that off my bucket list.
