Canada’s Wine Country

Kelowna is an exciting hybrid of amazing food and wine, vibrant culture and beach-based vacations on the shores of Okanagan Lake.

Visitors flock to the Kelowna area to go wine touring and taste locally produced food, to visit museums and galleries, and to take advantage of endless outdoor recreation opportunities. The city is home to outstanding golf courses, scenic trails, and plenty of beach and water-based fun.

Okanagan Lake forms Kelowna’s western boundary, which means very easy access. Several nearby beaches offer a base for swimming, paddling, water-skiing, windsurfing and fishing. The younger set can build sandcastles on the shore and splash in the shallow water.

Further inland there are excellent hiking and biking trails, and in the winter snowshoeing and cross-country skiing are popular. An hour outside of town lies Big White Ski Resort with its renowned champagne powder.
