We at
Beelineweb, are lucky to call Lake Country, British Columbia, home! For
all of our clients in other parts of the world, Lake Country is part of the
beautiful Okanagan Valley, which is southern central British Columbia. The
Okanagan experiences all four seasons with a snowy winter, a fresh, tulip-filled
spring, a hot, dry summer and a crisp fall with lots of deciduous trees.

The
Okanagan is well known for the lifestyle it allows people to live. We
have numerous ski hills that allow people to snowboard and ski in
the winter months, and lots of snowy mountains for people to snowshoe and
sled. People from all over travel to the Okanagan for the champagne
powder at our world-class ski hills. Hiking in the Okanagan is extremely
popular in the spring, with tons of mountains, waterfalls and lakes to
explore. Watersports are prevalent in the summer months, with individuals
kayaking, canoeing, boating, wakeboarding, water skiing and wake surfing. The
Okanagan is also well known for our pristine golf courses, as well as home to
some of the nicest resorts, including Sparkling Hill, a Swarovski
crystal-infused hotel overlooking Okanagan Lake.

One of the
main reasons people visit the Okanagan is that it is very well known for all
the delicious wine the area produces, with hundreds of vineyards,
many with panoramic lake views. Besides growing grapes in the Okanagan,
we also have hundreds of farms and orchards. Some of the favourite fruits
and veggies that we grow in the Okanagan include, but are not limited to,
cherries, apricots, peaches, blueberries, strawberries, blackberries,
watermelon, nectarines, raspberries, tomatoes, apples, leafy greens,
herbs, cucumbers, all squash, etc.
Just in
Lake Country alone, we have 7 wineries and 2 more on the way! As the name would
suggest, Lake Country is home to numerous lakes, including Kalamalka Lake which
is well known for its Caribbean turquoise waters in the summer months, and of course, Okanagan Lake.
