Welcome to Kelowna!
Wineries
There are SO many to choose from but here are a few to get you started, especially if this is your first visit to the area. If you're looking for something specific ... eclectic, rustic, themed, etc., maybe I can make a suggestion.
Check out this architecturally amazing property and its views! The Terrace Restaurant books up so you'll need a reservation if you're staying to eat. Have some extra fun and roll down the grassy hill :-)

Even though you'll have to drive 10 minutes to get to QB (or you can hit it on your way out of town if you're heading north), IT IS WELL WORTH THE TRIP! They hand make their own base so the flavours actually taste like the real deal. Flavours change regularly so it's always a great surprise!
