WINERIES

The nation’s wine country leaves a long finish.

The Okanagan Valley has become recognized by wine lovers around the world. Nestled all over the valley are spectacular vineyards producing premium quality wines that regularly win national and international wine competitions. Few wine-producing regions in the world can match our combination of mountains, lakes, fresh air and intense sunlight with so many grape varieties. 

In a valley ideal for grape growing, it`s no surprise that every year sees new vineyards planted and new wineries opening their doors to the public. Currently, there are over 20 wineries located in Kelowna with well over 100 in the whole Okanagan Valley region.

All wineries offer wine tasting. As well, several wineries have facility tours to teach visitors the art of winemaking.  Wine tours can last from 20 minutes to an hour, depending on the winery.  Many wineries have food services available.  Gourmet regional cuisine, tapas-style fare or cheese and fruit platters are served either indoors or on vineyard patios, all with spectacular lake and valley views.  Reservations are not required. Tours are open to people of all ages, however although children under the age of 19 are not permitted to taste the wine - some of the wineries offer juice tasting for the kids! The sun-drenched valley surrounding Kelowna is dotted with farm-gate, boutique wineries too, where each vintage is lovingly bottled by hand.
