Golf? Check. Wine? Check. Bike, fish, lake? You know we’ve got it.

This year, bring some extra value to your ultimate golf vacation with a packaged deal that includes world-class golf, premium accommodation and maybe even a visit along the Kamloops Wine Trail.
There’s nothing quite like golfing in Kamloops. Swing without crowds in relaxed clothing to a friendly vibe—but don’t let the chill factor fool you. Kamloops’ golf courses include nearly 1,200 metres of elevation change and gorgeous topography with panoramic views.
“From shorelines to cliff sides, Kamloops’ distinct environment will suit any golfer, while presenting a unique challenge for all skill levels,” says Lisa White, Golf Kamloops. “Golfers are passionate in Kamloops for good reason.”

Kamloops is home to the Thompson Valley Wine region and the Kamloops Wine Trail. It features four incredible wineries—Privato Vineyard & Winery, Harper’s Trail Winery, Monte Creek Winery and Sagewood—with a combined 125 acres under vine.
Situated just a little ‘north of normal’ the Thompson Valley GI is producing some spectacular wines north of the 50th parallel. “This is winemaking on the edge,” White says. “We are successfully challenging and pushing the boundaries for premium grape production. Growing wine in extraordinary places is making for some pretty special wines, including the region’s signature vinifera varieties, Pinot Noir, Riesling and Chardonnay.”
Its also home to five mouth-watering craft breweries: Bright Eye Brewing, The Noble Pig Brewhouse, Red Collar Brewing, Alchemy Brewing and Iron Road Brewing.
