    Such a cool experience! 3D arts adds to a wonderful time with Bethany! She’s was full of fun facts and very precise in her wine explanations. Would recommend, 10/10!

    We walked, but wished we had rented bikes to do the whole 24 km return. We made it to tunnel 2 , was about the 3 km mark. What a fantastic trail. Very easy to walk - nicely grades and flat. The only tricky part of the visit was the drive up to the top…very rough. Wouldn’t attempt the drive on spring time or wet weather unless you have an off road vehicle. Would definitely come back and rent bikes to do the whole trail.

    When visiting Kelowna, it is nearly impossible to not visit Okanagan lake. It’s beautiful! The mountains act as a backdrop. The water is very clean and the temperature is not too bad! There are many spots to access the lake, not just from the waterfront Park in downtown Kelowna. If you get the free map from the visitors center, that is very helpful to find all the beach access points that ended up being less crowded. This lake was definitely a highlight and should not be missed.

    Best place to see Kelowna and Okanagan lake from higher elevation. Just walk 10min up hill, you’ll get picturesque view of both. Well worth the walk!

    We held our Church's Fall Family Festival here and it was outstanding!!! The staff was incredible, the venue was beautiful, and the families all had so much fun! We were allowed to bring out own BBQ, food, face painter, and so much more! The kids loved the hedge maze and pulling each other around on the rickshaws! The airbrush tattoos were also a huge hit! Would definitely recommend... 10/10 all around! :-)

    Very nicely done with wooden bridges, small waterwalls, lovely plants and trees. Get to see the water, art installations, and check out the 'fancy' houses. A great way to stroll and can step off to go to the many restaurants in the cultural district.

    We live in Kelowna in Black Mountain and we try to bring all of our guests to the restaurant for at least one meal during their stay.

    The vegan calamari and salmon are always a winner. The staff are always friendly and Stephen, the owner, if he’s around, will stop off at your table just to say hi. The organic Pinot Gris is very distinctive with an almost golden colour and it is very aromatic.

    So why only a 4 star you ask. Communications when trying to make a reservation are next to zero. We have been turned away at the door because no one would pick up the telephone at the restaurant so we would drive down to the restaurant but we would always have a back up destination in mind which many times we have had to go to.

    I suggest that maybe they could have a calendar on their web site for when they are hosting larger events to save guests from driving down and being turned away and disappointed.

    Last night (25th) as usual the food was amazing and Lynne our server was great extremely personal, friendly and knowledgeable. Her manager was also there at a table and she took her ( The only server) away from her duties for an extended period of time to talk about work and this took her away from her duties so we just sat patiently and waited for her to finish so we could leave. We could here all of their conversation and it was quite peculiar that they would have a work update at the tables in a fine restaurant when we sat just 2 tables away.

    Either way the food, wine and service was as always a solid 10, with the season winding down maybe Stephen and his mgmt team can look at their reservation process and the ability to communicate to customers if the restaurant is booked out for private events and therefore no walk in customers would be permitted.

    Not the cheapest place in town but worth the trip. We will see you soon and hopefully they will post shortly if the restaurant is remaining open this winter season.

    Great job Stephen

    We went there for a business meeting. While the shared platter style food was okay, the service was excellent and we loved the overall experience. Writing the review partly to show off couple of nice pictures that I took here.

    This is a MUST visit winery when coming to the OK!! It is a little piece of Italy with an old world feel. The views are stunning, the ambience makes you want to stay all day and drink wine and breathe in the view. The wine is excellent, the Baco Noir is my absolute favourite! Don’t miss this this little gem and don’t forget your camera.

    This lovely waterfront park is adjacent to the downtown Marina. It is a beautiful place for a leisurely stroll or activities such as swimming, sunbathing, watersports, beach volleyball etc. We also saw an inflated floating playground on the lake for the kids. The park offers a wonderful view of Okanagan Lake. There are a number of restaurants offering a wide choice of cuisines within walking distance. All in all, a great place to spend an afternoon or evening or the entire day.

    Even our young (8 years old) grandson enjoyed the lavender and herb farm. The tour is extremely informative. Their shop is filled with wonderful (albeit pricey) items.

    We visited Kelowna last week and found Okanagan Distilleries on our first day and was so impressed we visited the establishment every day during our vacation. We tried all the specialty gin and whiskey drinks off their menu however came back for the Gin Blossom with lemonade as our favorite. I never drank Gin before however I'm now converted.
    Lynn and Christie were great hostesses adding to the experience. Okanagan Distilleries on Bernard St is a definite stop on your trip to Kelowna.

    Wonderful host who guided us through a wine tasting with good humour. We had a blast! We also learned a lot, not only about the Tantalus wines but also about the Okanagan wine industry.
    And we have a great photo of us all with an amazing view of Kelowna.
