Kaleden is a small community of approximately 1,200, located approximately 10 miles or 5 minutes south of Penticton along Skaha Lake in the south Okanagan.

Kaleden is a hidden jewel of the Okanagan and is true to it's name - a combination of  "kalos" or beautiful in Greek and the biblical Eden.  The community  was established by James Ritchie in the early 1900's for growing fruit. The famous "Kaleden Cots" got their beginning here. From the community beginnings as a small orcharding community, we have evolved from fruit to to vineyards and have become a bedroom community of Penticton.
