Neighborhood

The south Okanagan is a popular holiday destination, famed for its warm dry climate. The cottage is situated in the heart of BC's famous "Golden Mile" wine region, with year round activities for people of all ages and interests.

The area's diverse opportunities include:
* Wineries - over 130 wineries, offering tours, tastings and many with fabulous bistros/restaurants
* Pictographs - the greatest concentration of pictographs in BC are located in the south Okanagan
* Theatre - community theatres abound
* Golf - available almost year round
* Kettle Valley Trail - Perfect for mountain biking, jogging, or hiking, the KVR is an abandoned railway bed that winds through south central British Columbia between Midway and Hope
* Big horn sheep - located on the bluff east of Vaseux Lake is a Big Horn Sheep preserve. Hiking or a 4x4 is recommended, as the road is unpaved and steep
* Bird watching - the area around Vaseux Lake has been a migratory bird and waterfowl sanctuary since 1923. A birdwatcher’s delight, amongst the birds that frequent the area are the great horned owl, canyon wren, chukar partridge, woodpeckers, sage thrashers, and the burrowing owl.
* Fishing - Vaseux Lake is a non-motor boat body of water, popular for its bass fishing. Check with the BC government on licencing requirements and limits.
* Rock Climbing - A short distance away, the Skaha Bluffs are comprised of over 120 cliffs, about 55 of which have climbs on them.
* Water sports - Parasailing, waterskiing, jet-skis and much more are available on other neighboring lakes -- Lake Okanagan, Osoyoos, and Skaha.

The cottage is conveniently located 6 km from the charming town of OK Falls and 12 km from historic Oliver, both of which have restaurants, grocery stores, video stores, liquor stores, postal outlets, antique stores, and much more

About Us

I'm in my thirties and work for a winery and my fiancee is in his fifties and owns wineries in BC's Fraser Valley and Okanagan. I'm fluent in English and conversant in Spanish, he is fluent in English and conversant in French. We are very active and love the outdoors, sports, wine touring, cultural activities and are interested in exchanges in wine regions pretty much anywhere across the globe.

Destination

The cottage is a second vacation home it doesn't have to be a simultaneous exchange. We are open to traveling to pretty much any wine region or somewhere hot and sunny. I also own a waterfront loft in downtown Vancouver, BC which is potentially available for including in the exchange. In addition our winery cottage in Naramata, BC is possibly available for part of the exchange.
