The Epic Trip You Must Take Your S/O On To See These Gorgeous Kelowna Wineries

Tour of one of Kelowna's 40 award-winning wineries, all within a 30-minute drive of the city, to truly relax and experience one of the city's biggest attractions. 

Kelowna is known and loved for its wineries, and for one very good reason: they are simply amazing! Kelowna's wineries have won both national and international awards, and are definitely a major to-do when visiting the city.

There are legitimately tons of wineries to choose from, but Kitsch, in particular, is one of our favourites, with beautiful, lush, vineyards to fun summer events, tours, tastings and a whole lot more to explore. Others like The Hatch and Vibrant Vine have some great events in the summer time as well and some even greater wine. You can also sip on some rosé at Sandhill Wines in the heart of downtown Kelowna.

Take a farm-to-table food tour and immerse yourself in Kelowna's epic foodie scene.

If you're into fresh, farm-to-table food (and let's be honest, who isn't?) then you're going to want to check out a farm-to-table food tour.

It's basically a fun, new way to see exactly how your meal is going to be made: first, you experience a self-guided tour of a farm ( like Arlo's Honey Farm, Arndt Orchards or Okanagan Lavender And Herb Farm, which is a super romantic spot where you'll be surrounded by fresh flowers), and then you get to taste the magic at of Kelowna's many farm-to-table restaurants.

While you're visiting, you can also enjoy a meal from some of the best chefs in the whole country.

Eating at places like Krafty Kitchen and Oak + Cru is so, so much more than you could imagine. Both spots feature deliciously fresh dishes with locally grown ingredients; Krafty Kitchen is Kelowna's Farm-to-Table eatery and bar, while Oak + Cru offers outstanding plates and is located right on the water.

Kelowna's cuisine comes straight from the source thanks to the abundance of Farm-to-Table eateries meaning you can actually visit the farms where your ingredients come from!

Sip on some locally brewed craft beer at BNA Brewing Co while taking in Kelowna's views.

As we've said before, Kelowna is known for its above and beyond delicious wine. But their up-and-coming craft beer scene is quickly catching up.

There are many distilleries and cideries to check out within Kelowna, as well as four different craft breweries for you to discover.

Breweries like Tree Brewing Beer Institute and BNA Brewing Co offer up craft beer tastings for all levels (from beer beginners to beer experts), plus food and drinks on a glorious patio - so you can really explore Kelowna's handcrafted beers. Who knows, your next favourite bevvy just might be brewing in Kelowna!
