What travellers are saying
- Randy MPenticton, Canada1 contributionVery helpful and convenient to shop at.

- Yvonne BPenticton, Canada407 contributionsMy sister and I decided to go for a picnic at Skaha Lake Park. Although a little windy, we decided to walk to this lovely beach. As we neared the lake, the wind became more powerful and whipped the water into rough waves. We set up at a table near the Vallarta Grill en La Playa. After ordering our food, we turned our attention to the lake and enjoyed watching five wind surfers as they skimmed over the water, their colourful sails carrying them over the waves. Joining them were seven brave souls parasailing across the lake surface. Their watercraft sported very colourful rigging of different shapes and various designs on these sails. They rode the waves and became airborne at times, giving those that watched them an enjoyable show. After we finished our picnic lunch, we walked long the sandy beach before heading home. It’s wonderful to live in such a beautiful place where one can enjoy swimming, boating, water skiing or watch others as they surf or sail the lake.Written September 17, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DarrenYVRVancouver, Canada30 contributionsThe experience was not what I was expecting, but my expectations were exceeded. I was quite impressed with Greg's descriptions of the wines in our tasting flight and telling us where the grapes were grown for the wine, all on the estate. My companion and I decided to join their Hillside wine club, and we had a great overall experience. This was my second visit to Hillside (my first in 21 years), and they changed a few things over that time, but I think the experience was better overall.Written August 15, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Yvonne BPenticton, Canada407 contributionsThis Saturday morning trip to the Penticton Market was made with my sister, her daughter and a mutual friend. We hadn’t visited this activity for several years due to Covid and other extenuating circumstances. It was exciting to visit the vendors selling everything from farm products to clothing and everything in between. A female singer entertained potential customers as they wandered among the many stalls. Mouth-watering smells drew us to the food area where there was a great variety of tasty items for purchase. Since our plans involved going out for a late lunch, we didn’t buy anything in this section but moved onto another and purchased fresh local farm fruits and vegetables. We stopped and looked at personal products including bath salts, perfumes, gels and other bathing things. A variety of jewellery, made from so many different metals, beads and stones were offered for sale. After a final look, we decided to leave for our next adventure: lunch at a new restaurant in town.Written September 1, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VancouverLove2travelRichmond, Canada171 contributionsWe have had the pleasure of visiting Ruby Blues several times over the past few years. My husband and I have visited dozens of Okanagan wineries and love supporting local. This particular winery is one that we return to again and again.
We find the tasting experience at Ruby Blues to be exceptional. The tasting room is lively and welcoming. The wines are very good value. The staff is exceptional, particularly Kerry. She makes the tasting experience fun AND informative.
This winery understands that reservations and hefty tasting fees can be a turn off. They explain on social media that their "tasting fee" is a smile and they mean it. No charge to taste.
In addition to their wine shop, we have enjoyed a tasting on their patio. They have a nice picnic area and cold wine available for purchase.
Parking is ample.Written August 9, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The exterior is in pretty good condition and it’s definitely a fun place to visit when you’re in Penticton. The inside was an eye-opener and I would definitely say this is worth your time while you’re staying in town.Written July 24, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Familytravel70Vancouver, Canada164 contributionsThis is by far the best nude beach in BC. We have been to Wreck (more clothed tourists than nudists), Little Tribune Bay (gorgeous beach and water, but 6 hours from Vancouver and 3 ferries), our local Crescent Beach - 2nd best for sure, but 3 Mile feels like you are stepping into the past, when the beaches around Okanagan Lake were not crawling. You still have awesome access to the water and the beach is divine. The best part is the people. You have the locals, who are extremely friendly, and the rest of us. Just happy to be there, I would prefer to say stay away (selfishly), but go if you want just one perfect experience at a clothes optional beach.Written August 22, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erin S1 contributionWe enjoyed an amazing meal in the restaurant overlooking the vines and lake. Tapas and rose to share. Finished with a tasting and great info and delicious wine. Especially loved the Malbec. Gorgeous place!Written August 10, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- ryanvanveenphotographyVernon, Canada845 contributionsDespite the fact that apex is a relatively small ski hill it packs a good punch for its size! A triple chair on the far left of the resort offers great groomer/intermediate terrain and the quad offers great skiing over the rest of the hill! Snow conditions are usually pretty consistent and the weather is often great up there! I’d highly recommend the trees and some of the chutes and bowls if you’re an advanced skier!! Overall it’s a fantastic mountain and I love riding here!Written January 16, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RogerGGillespie8 contributionsWe showed up unexpected and were greeted and very warmly welcomed by Michael. He took us through a beautiful tasting on the patio.
All of the wines were extremely delicious and presented with the perfect mix of charm, humour and knowledge by Michael.
