Wine and food lovers will love Kelowna

The freshest ingredients

Kelowna is often touted as a chef’s dream, where farmers and chefs take pride in their commitment to quality and share a passion for locally grown food. Because our farms and restaurants are so close together, chefs can pick products at just the right moment to create tasty works of art, all in the same day.

Make a gourmet start to your day with Kelowna's best breakfast options, then stroll the boardwalk with a coffee, check out the farmer's market or pick up some of the local delicacies at any of Kelowna's artisanal farms.

Eateries by sceneries

With its diverse and rich food scene, Kelowna is a palate pleaser, to say the least. From street-side cafés to lake-side bistros, we bring an abundance of appetizing dining options to the table.

Enjoy lake and valley views with every meal, many restaurants in Kelowna are frequently listed on Canada’s best outdoor dining spaces lists, pairing a view with your meal won’t be hard.

Craft beer scene

Kelowna’s craft beer scene has exploded to over 20 breweries, from hoppy IPAs to smooth pilsners and even some fruity lagers, you’re bound to find your perfect pint at one of Kelowna’s breweries. Not only are the drinks great, but so are the tasting rooms, which range from large, full-service eateries to tiny micro-breweries, but they all have one thing in common, a relaxed, friendly, and welcoming vibe.

Enjoy a fresh drink from one of the breweries, cideries, or distilleries while visiting Kelowna.

Stretch your legs

While the local foodie scene is outstanding, you can't just spend your whole trip eating (although some have tried!) Take advantage of Kelowna's unique outdoor recreation options with a paddle on the lake, a peddle through Myra Canyon or a wander along the many hiking trails that surround the city.

Catch an afternoon flight

With over 40 wineries with a 20-minute drive, Kelowna puts you in the center of the world-renowned Okanagan wine country. Take in the gorgeous views while sipping on a variety of vintages at Kelowna's award-winning vineyards and tasting rooms.

Wine and dine

After a full day, there's nothing like a good meal with friends new and old to help you relax and recharge for tomorrow.

Enjoy a meal at Summerhill Pyramid Winery’s Organic Bistro in South Kelowna, the Cipes family were pioneers of the organic movement in the Okanagan and their organic and biodynamic philosophies extend into the culinary program as well. The kitchen and garden team work together to bring their guests organic vegetables and herbs year-round in a variety of ways – fresh, preserved, canned and fermented.

Block One Restaurant at 50th Parallel Estate Winery also boasts a one-acre culinary garden where the culinary team creates seasonally inspired dishes that showcase the splendor of the Okanagan and a truly local farm-to-table experience.

So come eat local and taste perfectly ripe fresh produce, in Kelowna, a chef’s culinary dream playground.
