Vernon Tour
Vernon does farmers’ markets in abundance, so there’s always a reason to make a market day of it. The Vernon Farmers’ Market runs Mondays and Thursdays from 8am to 1pm, and the Saturday Satellite Market gives you one more morning to fill your bag with the best of the North Okanagan. Pick your day, take your time, and let the farmers’ market set the pace for the rest of your stops.
Start at the farmers’ market, where the region’s growers, bakers, and makers gather to show off the season. From there, settle in for a fresh and flavour forward bite at Eatology, then follow the smell of espresso to Ratio Coffee and Pastry for a coffee and something sweet. Or step up to the cut to order counter at Wedge Cheesery to sample your way through local and global cheeses and cap it all off with a sweet finish at La Carraia. The choice is yours!
Every check in along the way supports the BC businesses that make Vernon worth the trip. Plus, check in with our Tasting Passport App at select tour stops and you’ll unlock special discounts available only to app visitors.
