Dog-Friendly Places in Osoyoos
The 40 places in Osoyoos break down into 10 restaurants, 10 wineries, 6 beaches and 14 others. Of these 40, 28 are kid-friendly and 21 have a patio. Of the 40, 7 are seasonal and close for part of the year. From our own picks: Lariana Cellars, one of our Hidden Gems: a tiny family winery literally steps from the US border, where the owner often pours himself.
