Beschreibung
We are currently looking for house sitters for the month of November and first half of December 2025
We have a small vineyard with craft distillery and hobby farm. We produce beautiful liqueurs and spirits from all kinds of local fruit varieties on the Naramata Bench in the South Okanagan. We are a German family who immigrated straight to Penticton in 2001 and instantly fell in love with the valley and its breathtaking views.
Our business is now closed for the season, and we won't need any help with the vineyard.
Our farm consists of 3 acres of grape vines, an always growing vegetable garden, a few barn yard chickens and gold pheasants, four cats and a dog, and an active tasting room where we produce and sell our well loved eaux-de-vies. Behind our farm our property continues for steep, rolling hills home to some of the Okanagan's unique and plentiful wildlife.
Down the road from us is the Kettle Valley Rail Trail which allows hours of exploration to wineries, historic landmarks, waterfalls and is a direct route to Penticton's town center and beaches. We have several bicycles for you to explore with as well as a canoe if you're feeling adventurous on the lake.
We, Jorg and Anette, truly love living here and would be very excited to share our little slice of paradise with you.

House sitting
Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten
You can learn about our desert wildlife (that's right; Canada has a desert). Taste many different varieties of wine from 100+ wineries within an hours drive and get caught up in our laid back life style.
Arbeit
Daily tasks at our place can vary from taking care of our animals, general house tasks, maybe some snow shoveling if it snows.
We need someone who can feed our cats and clean up in the mornings, and will feed the chicken and pheasants next to our home. Our son and daughter live in town, and they will be available to help if needed.
