It's more VQA Wine Shop then it is museum but it definitely has some interesting historical artifacts in the museum. For those that don't know VQA means BC Vintners Quality Alliance wines, which is a guarantee you're purchasing 100% BC wine. They have a delicious assortment of wines available in the store side, but do not sell at winery prices even though the website says they do. After visiting half a dozen wineries prior to our museum visit, buying wine at wineries and noticing prices (comparing the same vintage at both places)...we noticed a definite increase in prices ($2-3) at the VQA store. No bigs just truths. It's fun to wander through checking out wines and the history of wine. We visited on a day there was a wine tasting (Lost Inhibitions) and a food sampling. And if you have time the BC Orchard Industry Museum is right next door. Even though we've seen it, we would visit again.

Our grandson is obsessed with digging for fossils so we just had to come! The museum is super cool…read morewith all kinds of displays of fossils found in the area. We went early in the day to beat the crowds. We paid in the store to dig and the staffer gave us a brief orientation on what rocks that were likely to have imprints or fossils, what the difference was and how to chip the rocks. He also lent us chisels and tools. The dig area is up the road and has several shaded tables and benches to chip the rocks open. The hill is a bit tricky to get up and down because of the gravelly terrain so be aware. There is a trail off to the side for those who don't want to tackle the hill. And bring lots of water and hats because it gets HOT! After you're done, you bring back your find to the museum and the staff will identify it for you. He told us we could take 3 home per person so we got some pretty cool souvenirs!

Found several fossils after only a couple of hours (or less) of chiseling and hunting. They were nothing too exciting, just wood and reeds. But it was a great experience. When we showed our finds back at the center, they were identified immediately. Very impressed with the knowledge of the staff.

I'm sure it has parking, but we just parked in a lot next to some apartments and walked through the grass. Summerland is a laid back town and we didn't see any parking tickets or speed traps while there. The museum was a wonderful find for us because the administrator, Sherril Foster, was incredibly helpful and patient! I went in with some family members looking for history of our family and how they came to Summerland. Ms. Foster was kind enough to take out all the old binders, photos, and records she had of our two sets of ancestors that traveled from Japan to Summerland. We spent almost two hours with Ms. Foster and in the end we walked out with a huge amount of information and clarity on our roots we didn't imagine we'd find in a small sleepy town museum. Ms. Foster also allowed us to make copies of her records about our family. She normally would make the copies, but she did more research while she allowed me to use her copier in her office. She also plans to scan and email several photos that include my ancestors from the 1920's in Summerland. There is a computer with internet access that we were able to use to do more research on. There were also several books for sale, one of which we purchased because it mentioned our family in it. As we did some research, my husband wandered the museum and took a look at the displays. There were several interesting displays and we were impressed with the level of displays for a museum in a small town that exists on donations. Make sure to donate as you come in, as there is no entrance fee! And say hi to Ms. Sherril Foster, she's one helpful lady!
