Cycling and Sipping wine in the South Okanagan

We recently spent a couple of days in the south Okanagan enjoying the warm desert environment. Our accommodation was The Spirit Ridge Resort at the Nk’Mip winery in Osoyoos.( https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/hotel/canada/spirit-ridge/ylwub ) This resort features adobe style structures which contain condos, suites and villas. All have full kitchen facilities so you can dine in if you wish although there a many excellent restaurants in the area including some outstanding winery restaurants at Tin Horn Creek, Burrowing Owl and Hester Creek for example. We also like to stop while cycling for lunch at either of the Black Hills or Black Sage wineries which are just open for lunch. There is a wide choice of accommodation in the Osoyoos area for example on tripadvisor.ca. Osoyoos was very busy in the first week of September with resorts and restaurants virtually solidly booked. Now that schools are open and the weather is cooler accommodation options should be better however the fall harvest is always popular with tourists.
