Oliver
Picture a charming city where world-class wineries and abundant fruit orchards thrive, blessing the scenic rolling hills with splashes of colour. Welcome to Oliver - Ontario's secret gem! Tucked away in South Okanagan Valley, Canada, where the climate is as delightful as the friendly locals. Here, the summer sun is warm, and the winters are soft, creating the dream environment for vine-growing and farming.
Oliver's roots weave back to 1918, when it was simply a settlement for war heroes, over time it has blossomed and made its mark as Canada's Wine Capital. This vibrant city embodies a perfect blend of historical charm and breathtaking beauty, each vine bears the testament to its storied past.
Our little city is a hub of diverse communities and rich culture, with a prominent South Asian presence. We take immense pride in our farming heritage and love for good food and superb wine. Ours is an economy fuelled by nature's gifts, capturing the heart of culinary explorers and oenophiles alike.
Beyond its call to wine enthusiasts, Oliver is a paradise for nature lovers. A stone's throw from the city, you'll find Mt. Baldy Ski Resort, teeming with colorful flora and fauna, and the serene Vaseux Lake, a birdwatcher's paradise. If you're a foodie, our farm-to-table offerings, especially the juicy apples, cherries, peaches, and pears are sure to delight. And how can we forget the wine tasting tours—an absolute must-do, set amidst the lush vineyards.
Active travellers will also appreciate the many parks gracing the city and the breathtaking Okanagan River, with endless opportunities for fishing, kayaking, and hiking. Our year is peppered with lively events, the highlight being our very own 'Festival of the Grape', a tribute to our illustrious vineyards and vibrant community spirit.
Discover Oliver for yourself—an idyllic retreat where the wine flows freely, the food is fresh and delicious, and the natural landscape is simply enchanting. Come experience a typical day in our little paradise, where enjoying a fine glass of wine as the sun sets over the vineyards isn't a luxury—it's just how we live!
