A cork\u2019s throw from Kamloops in the Thompson Valley, the Monte Creek Winery<\/a> produces sustainable, certified organic award-winning wines such as their \u00a0Frontenac Gris<\/a> and Land Cabernet Franc<\/a>, and its charming tasting room is open all year round. Closer to Kelowna, Summerhill Pyramid Winery<\/a> is beloved for its sparkling wines, ice-wines, premium whites and organic ros\u00e9s, which you can swirl and sip during a tasting tour or as part of a Wine Sabering Experience,<\/a> (you\u2019ll learn how to open a bottle with a sword). Nearby, Quails\u2019 Gate Estate Winery<\/a> and Burrowing Owl Guest House<\/a>\u00a0both offer outstanding accommodations with stunning views of their vineyards.<\/p>

Beyond the vines<\/strong><\/h4>

The bucket-listed Rocky Mountaineer<\/a> visits Kamloops on its iconic journey from Vancouver to Banff, unfurling spectacular views of Kamloops Lake, Hell\u2019s Gate, the Fraser Canyon and the Thompson River. If you\u2019re staying longer in Kamloops, lace up your hiking boots for the Sun Peaks Resort\u2019s scenic trails, explore the Secwepemc Museum & Heritage Park\u00a0and choose your own adventures on more than 270-plus cycling trails.<\/p>

Adventure World\u2019s <\/em>Sip & Savour Canadian Flavours<\/em><\/a> journey serves a feast of culinary experiences.<\/em><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
