Enderby is a great little town with little shops and artisan markets. In the summer there's an antique and oddities market. A few minutes up the road you'll find Sutherland's bakery which has AMAZING homemade donuts and pizza.
Highly recommend the mac & cheese and donair pizza.

Traveler advice
What to pack
Food + Fuel
We're a few minutes from town (30 Vernon & 35 Kelowna) and would suggest picking up any essentials, gas or items you want during your stay. We've provided basic essentials (toast, pizzas, eggs, water etc) but recommend stopping before getting here. Forgot? No sweat, there's a grocery delivery service that is usually available with a 24hr turnaround (just ask).
Don't miss
