I had a facial and my eyebrows waxed by Carmen on a recent visit to Sonora Day Spa at Spirit Ridge. I think she did a great job and I'd happily return the next time I'm in Osoyoos. One thing that I think is lacking at the Sonora Day Spa is a…More »

Who could resist a winery with a name like the Golden Beaver? They don't take themselves too seriously, which is a nice change of pace. Their slogan is "FUN NAME... FINE WINE!" The winery itself is small as is the wine shop. One thing it has going…More »
