01The story

A Guided Journey Through Okanagan Wine Country

Après Tours: A day on the Naramata Bench above Okanagan Lake, one of the valley’s most loved wine routes.

A day spent winding along the clay cliffs above Okanagan Lake offers an intimate look at one of the valley's premier agricultural regions. This guided excursion, known as the Naramata Bench Tour, removes the logistical headache of navigating the narrow, winding roads between vineyards. Guests can focus entirely on the local agriculture and the distinct cool-climate wines produced in this microclimate. Led by Après Tours, the full-day itinerary introduces participants to diverse winemaking styles. The route features stops at several distinct estate wineries, showcasing how the clay soils and lake breezes shape the regional flavours. It is a practical way to survey the area's viticulture without coordinating designated drivers.
