Okanagan Valley May Long Weekend

Although the drive is long to get to the Okanagan it is much easier when it is not too hot nor too cold. Back in May we made the trek to visit my in-laws and stayed the night in Hope at the Mountain View Hotel, that has a neighbourhood cat as a concierge (part time aka when it feels like it). 


Breakfast was at Rolly's Restaurant, a blast from the past and one of the best rated establishments in Hope. It has many features from when it was built in 1986, including a revolving pie display that still turns. 

The basic fare was well priced, tasted good, and filled our stomachs for the day's drive.


We visited a few wineries on the way, in Keremeos and Cawston, and stopped for lunch at the Crowsnest winery.


I had the deep flavoured tomato soup with prosciutto grilled cheese sandwich. Yum!


The view was amazing and humbling.


Cherry Point Winery, in Cobble Hill, had a great cherry wine and views of the river nearby.


After reaching my in-laws we had a relaxing stay and good conversation. A short long weekend that we were glad we did.
