Welcome to the Peak of Summer in Naramata

 

WELCOME TO THE PEAK OF SUMMER
IN NARAMATA

Thanks for Your Patience and Support for Our Collective Wellbeing

Sharing our love for Naramata’s great ingredients, locations and landscapes with you has been such a pleasure this past year, though not without some major challenges. As BC makes its way out of Covid and back to “normal”, the hospitality industry is facing unprecedented staffing shortages this summer across North America.

It is not business as usual for restaurants, hotels and other services businesses and we want to recognize our staff for their commitment and effort. As a result, the Restaurant at Naramata Inn is limiting our availability to five days a week, and reducing menu offerings when temperatures rise to dangerous levels to ensure the well-being of our staff and guests. Thank you to our customers and community for your patronage, patience and understanding. Hospitality needs you more than ever.

 

Your Vacation Your Way

If you want to spend your stay with us just alternating between indulgent feasts and soaking in your clawfoot tub, we completely understand. But if you’re planning on exploring further afield, that’s cool too. Our Concierge team is happy to help you explore and enjoy our curated offerings for wine touring, private yoga and over-the-top picnics.

With more than 42 wineries inside a 20 minute radius, you’ll find plenty of terroir to swirl, sip and savour. If you’ve already taken our tour, sipped our list, and want to keep exploring, here’s a great map to get you started. Discover Naramata’s handy app is also an excellent tool to tee up tastings.

Autumn in Naramata is amazing. Pleasant temperatures team up with the excitement of the harvest for a season that offers much of the activity and enjoyment that summer does. Water lovers can still take to the shores of Okanagan Lake for a paddle with the bright colours of changing leaves as the backdrop. Outdoor enthusiasts can immerse themselves in nature’s changing colour palette by hiking and biking the KVR on the Naramata Bench.

The fall harvest makes it a delicious time to dine at Naramata Inn. Our locally focused, seasonal menus reflect the bountry of our regional farmers, giving our guests a true taste-of-place.
