Located on the west side of Okanagan Lake, Summerland lies between Peachland to the north and Penticton to the south. Kelowna, the largest centre in the region, is approximately 50 km (31 mi) to the north. The district is famous for “Bottleneck Drive,” a system of roads that connects various wineries.
Summerland’s first inhabitants were the Syilx (Okanagan Salish), with the First Nations boundaries extending from Kamloops to southern Washington State. Settlers began arriving in the late 1880s. The town was still known as Trout Creek when they established the first commercial orchard.
