Summerland

All aboard! Kids can play on a little wooden train made out of wine barrels outside the winery. We took my niece there who was 13 at the time and they offered her a choice between a freezie or a sucker. Needless to say, she was quite happy while we were wine tasting.

The new owners of the Big Apple Fruit Stand opened their doors in June 2022. They sell cherries, peaches, apricots, blueberries, raspberries, and plums.

They are known for their friendly staff and an amazing range of fruits and vegetables. In the fall, head to Blossoms for a family tradition and pick a pumpkin from their patch.

This family farm grows and packs sweet cherries of the Okanagan, therefore their harvest usually runs from mid-July until the end of August. They sell bulk cherries at farmgate prices, where they pick, hydro-cooled, and custom pack boxes each week for pick-up on Friday afternoon. Malcolm at Malcolm Fruit and Flower Pedlar will be operating their fruit stand on weekday afternoons at 13218 Victoria Road North (right beside the thrift store).

This community/school facility is located at Summerland Secondary School. The Theatre has 295 seats and accommodates concerts, live theatre, movies, speakers and regular school drama productions.

Indulge in a delightful selection of over 10 gelato flavors, available in both cones and cups. Our kids’ favorite? The irresistible Cookies & Cream Gelato.

Dale Meadows Playground in Summerland is a great spot for young kids to enjoy some outdoor playtime. Located next to the sports fields, it’s a colourful and fun playground with swings, climbing structures, slides, and spring toys. The equipment sits on soft sand, which adds an extra layer of safety for little ones.

Dickinson Family Farm produces some of the sweetest and juiciest cherries that are grown in Summerland. They grow six different varieties of cherries and have over 100 trees on-site. Don’t forget to stop at and get a picture of the World’s Tallest Tripod Orchard Ladder.

We love visiting Dirty Laundry Vineyard in Summerland when our family is visiting from out of town. The winery offers kid-friendly food and drink options as well as dessert – Gelato and Sorbetto (both Vegan and Gluten-Free)! Their outdoor patio offers beautiful views of Summerland, you may even see the Summerland Steam Train go by.

They sell their fruit on-site from their farm gate. U-pick or they pick. In addition, they have a selection of frozen and canned fruit and jams made from their fruit, available year-round.
