Morning light slips through the vehicle as the Coast Range gives way to broad valleys: by midday the air tastes of warm lake spray and fermenting grapes. This full-day private transfer from Vancouver deposits travelers into the Okanagan Valley — a stretch of south-central British Columbia defined by shimmering lakes, dusty benchland roads and more boutique wineries per kilometer than many regions.
