Agri-Tourism & Wine

The Agri-Tourism and wine industries, inclusive of foodand beverage processing, are a mainstay of the Osoyoos economy and form a significant component of the community’s overall brand identity. The climate and environmental conditions of the area facilitate a robust and very successful agricultural base. 

Most businesses within this sector in the South Okanagan are engaged in vineyard/winery production, although there are a number of small-scale specialty food processors in the area.

Furthering the focus of the agri-food and wine industries in the Osoyoos area is the broadening of the tourism product offering in the area to include niche, yet rapidly growing, markets in agri-tourism, culinary experiences, and wine tourism.
