Art galleries which exhibit and sell wine and vineyard inspired by the vineyards in the Okanagan are worth a visit while touring the area’s beautiful wineries. The Okanagan is blessed with its very own colourful palette courtesy of vibrant, sunny blue skies, sparkling deep glacial lakes and gorgeous rows of vineyards in summer and fall splendour. Take home an original work of art to grace the walls of your home and as a keepsake of your time in the Okanagan Valley

Please know that The Lloyd Gallery in Penticton on Front Street welcomes all browsers, especially families with kids to come browse the gallery at no cost, to be inspired by the art and see what kinds of ways artists can see the landscape all around them. The gallery is hung floor to ceiling, French salon style and the art is truly incredible. There is also a Facebook page to view show announcements and new additions in the gallery: https://www.facebook.com/lloydgallery
