The journey to Naramata begins with a sharp curve in the road, sunshine, and a smile as you leave the city life behind and leisurely wind your way along “the Bench” through vineyards and orchards, past wineries and charming bed and breakfasts…all bathed in the reflection of Okanagan Lake.
Soon, the magical lure of this village draws you into a scene from an innocent movie: beachfront cottages, corner stores, artisan shops and farms, and a friendly wave from the locals. This is the village. The “shire” for those lucky enough to live here year round.
Recently selected for an international Cittaslow designation, Naramata offers beautiful scenery, a rich cultural history, diverse gastronomy, and a wide range of accommodation choices all wrapped in an idyllic village lifestyle.
