OSOYOOS, B.C.
In wine-making circles, the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia is known as Napa North, after the famed wine-making Napa Valley in California. And one Aboriginal band is taking full opportunity of the fruit basket of Canada.
Visitors to the lush Okanagan Valley can stop at the Osoyoos First Nation and tour wine-making facilities and taste wine produced from the only Aboriginal-owned and operated winegrape vineyard in Canada. Tours are scheduled every Monday to Friday between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. from May to August.
