There’s so much happening in Vernon this fall, it’s hard to know where to begin. As the Okanagan Valley glows with autumn’s golden hues, Vernon turns into a vibrant hub of activity and adventure, with just a touch of laid-back charm. Sunny fall days are perfect for golfing on pristine courses, and the only thing missing? Your rain gear—thankfully.
But the excitement doesn’t stop at the 18th hole. Vernon’s culinary scene is in full swing, offering dining experiences that celebrate the best of the harvest season. Add a lively lineup of music events and live performances, and the season is as dynamic as the landscape.
Read on to uncover the exciting experiences awaiting you in Vernon this fall.
Discover Vernon’s newest culinary gem, The Edge Restaurant and Bar at The Rise Resort, where extraordinary dining meets the breathtaking beauty of the Okanagan. Perched 1,000 feet above Okanagan Lake, The Edge offers panoramic views through 30-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, whether you’re inside the sleek dining area or enjoying the expansive, multi-level patio.
Savour dishes crafted from the freshest local ingredients, like the AAA Alberta Tomahawk or the Compressed Watermelon & Fried Vegan Feta Salad. Every moment at The Edge is designed to delight your senses and celebrate the best of the Okanagan.
For a quintessential Vernon experience, The Perch Winery—Vernon’s newest and only winery—is a must-visit. This family-run estate, set on 10 picturesque acres with 5.5 acres of vineyards, perfectly blends relaxation and indulgence.
Sip on distinctive wines like the Ortega with its fresh apple, pear and pineapple aromas, while lounging in one of two inviting outdoor picnic areas. With panoramic lake views and a serene vineyard backdrop, it’s an ideal setting for a charcuterie spread and a bit of birdwatching.
Celebrating 25 years of jazz, The Vernon Jazz Club stands as one of BC’s premier dedicated live jazz music venues. Housed in an iconic heritage building, this intimate, cabaret-style setting accommodates 140 guests and features a full bar.
The fall lineup kicks off with Fernando Gonzalez and The Mexi-Canadians on September 7. Don’t miss the Silver and Black Anniversary Show featuring Steve Maddock and his Blues Sextet, along with performances by The Laila Biali Trio in October and Brian McMahon’s Okanagan Jazz Roots in November.
