Okanagan Odyssey: Journeys Through Terrain, Terroir and Culture by Don Gayton
“Okanagan Odyssey is a quirky and lyrical examination of BC’s Okanagan Valley. Sticking to the backroads and byways, Gayton gently pokes and prods local ecosystems, histories, vineyards and people. The author revels in the biological and social diversity while sampling local wines and fruit along the way. In his unique version of wine pairing, Gayton matches up local books and landscapes with local vintages, giving terroir a whole new meaning. Gayton deftly negotiates the tension between the Okanagan that is home to many endangered species and ecosystems, and the Okanagan that is a mecca for developers and urban refugees. Okanagan Odyssey is not a travel guide, but represents travel writing at its idiosyncratic best.” Available through local bookstores or directly from the publisher at this link
