Destination of the Week: Thompson Okanagan

Harvest the Savings in the Okanagan this Fall

Well-known for its orchards, vineyards, skiing and golf, the Thompson Okanagan region of British Columbia is a popular destination for travellers year-round. But there's arguably no better time to visit than the fall. The weather is warm but no longer scorching, the wineries and golf courses still welcome visitors and local attractions aren't as congested with tourists compared to summer months.

Autumn in the Okanagan is the perfect time to watch the grapes ripening in the sun and indulge in harvest celebrations. But another benefit to visiting in the fall: travellers can score deals as much as 60% off summertime prices.
