Spirit Ridge, Unbound Collection by Hyatt

At Spirit Ridge, a wedding comes with a sweeping view of Osoyoos Lake, the vineyards and the Okanagan Range.

The resort sits on the slope above the lake in Osoyoos, on sacred land surrounded by vineyard and desert. It is part of the Unbound Collection by Hyatt and has been named among the top resorts in Canada by traveller polls.

The Rooftop Terrace is the showpiece for celebrations, more than 5,000 square feet open to the sky above the vines, with room for up to 300 guests for a reception. The Vineyard Patio and Market Courtyard offer smaller outdoor settings for cocktails or dinner.

Indoors, the full conference centre can seat up to 240 guests at round tables, and smaller rooms suit rehearsal dinners and gatherings of every size. Catering is handled in house, and the resort restaurant serves vineyard cuisine with Indigenous roots.

Guests can stay in 226 suites with full kitchens, a fireplace and a balcony, or in one and two bedroom villas. Days can be filled with two outdoor pools, hot tubs, a seasonal private beach club on the lake, a spa, a nine hole golf course, horseback riding, wine tours and desert hiking.

The resort is about 62 km from the Penticton airport and 128 km from Kelowna International.

For couples who picture desert light, lake views and a rooftop toast above the vineyards, Spirit Ridge offers a destination wedding where guests can make a getaway of it.
