Experience Naramata in 48 Hours
Are you looking for a delicious culinary experience and unforgettable wine-country adventures? Experience Naramata!
Naramata is only 15 kilometres away from Penticton, in the beautiful Okanagan Valley. This tiny community boasts cute shops, quaint accommodations, great restaurants and coffee shops. I have enjoyed a couple visits to Naramata this last year as it is the perfect vacation close to home. You can see our June group trip highlights here, as well as my Fall girls trip here.

Experience Naramata in 48 Hours
Things to Do
- Visit Neverland Tea Cottage. This is a unique and instagrammable location to enjoy high tea. If you are a local, you’ll know that we have no tea houses like this in Kelowna so it is definitely worth the drive. If you want to see what this whimsy and easy elegance experience looks like, check out my reel here. I recommend that you do make a reservation in advance as this is a popular spot!
- Experience the beautiful area by e-bike! We used Penticton E-Kruise and it was so convenient, as they drop off and pick up the bikes from your desired location. During our recent trip, we rode the bikes along the KVR trail. It is such a fun way to cruise through wine country!
- Rent a boat and cruise around Okanagan Lake. This is a fun activity to enjoy the mid-day sun or golden hour! We rented a boat through Penticton Boat Rentals and they were great! Check out my reel here to see the breathtaking views that this boat ride offered.
- Go on a wine tour. Some recent favourites I’ve visited are Serendipity Winery and Poplar Grove Winery but there are around 40 wineries in the area to choose from!
Places to Stay
- Naramata Inn is a boutique style hotel, with a lot of charm and vintage vibes. If you are looking for centrally located accommodations, the Inn is located right in the heart of Naramata. We stayed here during our Fall girls trip and it was lovely!
- Okanagan Wanderlust Properties have multiple VRBO properties. The one we stayed at for our recent trip is called Serenity Vista and is located 15 minutes outside of Penticton. This house was equipped with large windows, three decks, a hot tub, and so much space to enjoy! I would highly recommend if you’re travelling with others.
Restaurants
