Penticton Locals Pick Their City's Best Hidden Gems
"Il Vecchio's is a little Italian deli/sandwich shop. Definitely a place you need to go. The price point is great. It's fresh. They slice everything to order. The ordering procedure is a little frustrating, but it's a great product at the end. So it's worth the wait. And it's cheap."
Patt Dyck | Co-owner Cannery Brewing
The Kettle Valley Railway Line: “We have this thoroughfare that runs along the top of the mountains and all the way up the valley that is available for hiking and biking and walking and every form of recreation and just breathtaking scenery. It's also free.”
Valentini's Cafe: “An excellent little bistro. They do an excellent breakfast and an excellent lunch.”
Many Hats Theatre: “Worthwhile live theatre to see for sure.”
The Local (in Summerland): “They're trying to use as many local ingredients and whatnot as they can. It's a very fun place. Spectacular setting right on the water.”
Naramata Heritage Inn: “Very old hotel dating back to the time when the Kettle Valley Line ran through the Okanagan.”
The Dream Cafe: “We get to see the likes of Judy Collins in a room smaller than most restaurants are.”
The Elvis Festival: “The calibre of performers that come here to the Elvis festival is amazing.”
Dan Ashton | Mayor of Penticton
"You won't find a nicer place to visit than Penticton. It's a wonderful area. It's a four seasons playground. Specifically our secrets are our water. We also have one of the world's premier climbing areas: Skaha Bluffs. They're absolutely phenomenal."
