Summerland (population 10,828) is an agricultural community with a location that makes it a natural tourist destination. The town centre is situated in a flat area above Okanagan Lake with fertile valleys defined by forested ridges. Giant's Head Mountain, an extinct volcano, dominates the skyline.
Summerland is home to one of the first wineries in the Okanagan, Sumac Ridge Estate Winery. Now wine lovers can sample the award-winning vintages of a whole new crop of wineries on Summerland's Bottleneck Drive. Taste the unique flavours imparted by the region's volcanic and clay soils.
