| Grapes have been grown in the Okanagan since 1859,
but commercially only since the 1920's. Here is a wine
history link. Okanagan wines are known for their high quality
since the introduction of the VQA
quality label. View near Gray Monk Winery, Okanagan Centre |

| Fall outing 1 1/2 hours away to the Adams
River salmon run. In early October thousands of visitors watch
how female salmon deposit their eggs in stone benches (middle
above). A bear had helped us see the eggs (image left above).
Visitors come from as far as Japan. |
