It is a beautiful drive to Summerland along the lake. As you come into town from the north you will pass Sumac Ridge Winery and Back Door Winery.
Mountain Goats Fifteen minutes south of Peachland watch for the adobe style Guest Inn called La Punta Norte on your left just before Summerland. As soon as you pass the Inn watch for mountain goats on the mountain side and the rock cliff on your right.

Lunch
I would recommend two places for lunch. On Rosedale Ave. right near Hwy 97 you will find Zias Stonehouse Restaurant and the Peacock’s Perch Pub. They are very close to each other on either side of the street.

Peacock’s Perch Pub 14218 Rosedale Ave (250) 494-9727 Facebook

Visit Saxon Winey half block down Lumsden Ave. right off of Dale Meadows Rd.
Visit an excellent liquor store that has the best selection of craft beers and an IGA. They are in Summerfair Shopping Centre. At the Prairie Valley Rd. round-about take the east exit and it will still be Prairie Valley Rd. Proceed down the hill till you can see Hwy 97 and the strip mall will be on your right.
