As the oldest city in the Okanagan, Vernon has plenty of history to soak up. Start with a tour of historic O'Keefe Ranch, then enjoy a leisurely afternoon tea at Mackie Lake House. Thanks to its fertile soil and sunny climate, the Okanagan produces some of North America’s best wines.

With rolling hills and leafy nooks, Vernon’s wineries make for stunning wedding venues.

Weather

Winter near the Monashee Mountains

With warm, dry summers and snowy winters, Vernon has a slightly more moderate climate than other cities in the Okanagan Valley. Spring brings an explosion of colorful wildflowers, while fall sees Vernon’s aspen and cottonwood trees turn brilliant shades of red, orange, and yellow. Thanks to variations in altitude, Vernon’s seasons are incredibly elastic. This means you can enjoy a morning round of golf in the valley, then hit the slopes at Silver Star.

Natural features

If you’re here with a furry friend in tow, Vernon vacation rentals unlock access to a host of pet-friendly properties.
