With us you get the personal know-how and local insight from your Owner/Guide - Andrew who grew up in the area, and worked in his Grandparents Orchard.

The tour starts at the Laurel Packinghouse, and winds its way through the stunning lakeside Cultural District. There are lots of opportunities for photos/videos of historic buildings, outdoor art-pieces, waterfalls, and the picturesque Okanagan Lake.
