Penticton In Season



June 2010
 
Penticton & Wine Country - Time to Breathe
Summer may not officially start until the solstice on June 21, but judging by the number of bathing suit-clad, ice cream cone-toting, SPF-donning beachgoers, summer is here now. Grab a towel, bottle of water and that bestselling paperback you've meaning to read and head to the sun-kissed shores of Penticton & Wine Country for a mega dose of Vitamin D.
