We
live on the Shuswap Arm (one of four arms) of Shuswap Lake. The calm water
is ideal for water sports, lakeside activities, and birdwatching (as many
as 250 species). One thousand kilometres of meandering shoreline, together
with amazing scenery....it doesn’t get any better than this!

There
is more to do here than you can imagine! Sorrento is long renowned
for its recreation and retirement lifestyle, with an outstanding artisan
community, fabulous water activities, scenic green landscapes, hobby and
traditional farms.
Sorrento’s
moderate four-season climate offers a championship 18-hole golf course,
a driving range, a community par 3 pitch & putt, water sports, fishing,
houseboating, hiking, and more. Ice fishing, sleigh rides, nearby
cross country skiing and snowmobiling are popular in the winter months.
From
May through October the Sorrento Farmer’s Market on lovely Shuswap Saturday
mornings offers local produce, crafts, entertainers and demonstrations.
Summer means “hot” and brings weeks of sunshine and fantastic garden growing!

Ales, and in neighbouring Tappen, the northern-most vineyard/winery in
Canada, Recline Ridge.
