There is nothing quite like sitting out on a patio on a warm summer’s day and having a terrific meal or a cold beverage.
Osoyoos is full of picturesque patios that offer everything from charming, cozy atmospheres to sweeping lakeside views.
While many of the wineries between Osoyoos and Oliver have their own restaurants with scenic backdrops of the South Okanagan vineyards, there are also plenty of patio options right in the heart of town as well.
Here are seven must-try patios this summer that are only a stone’s throw away from many of the accommodations, resorts and campgrounds in Osoyoos.

The Patio at Nk’Mip Cellars Winery
1400 Rancher Creek Rd, Osoyoos, BC V0H 1V4
If you cross to the other side of the lake from where the Osoyoos Golf Club is, you will find another patio with breaking views of the area.
The Patio at Nk’Mip Cellars Winery offers contemporary North American cuisine in a picturesque location, with panoramic views of the vineyards, lake, and mountains.
In our mind, this is an ideal lunch location, but it is advised to make a reservation before you go as the patio fills up fast in the summer!
Make sure you fit in some time for a wine tasting before or after you eat as well.
Be sure to post your patio pictures and hashtag #OsoyoosBC when visiting us this Summer and check out our restaurant page to see all dining options when planning your next trip to Osoyoos.
