It’s officially spring – and that means it’s time to plan your family vacation.

Facilitating 4.9 million passenger trips per year, Kelowna Regional Transit buses allow you to get around and explore Kelowna without a car.

Swap the hustle of the big city for the lakeside beauty of Kelowna, an Okanagan city that’s perfect for relaxing, recharging, and soaking up some local culture. And if you didn’t already know, it has an unparalleled food and drink scene.

Kelowna’s craft beer scene dates back more than 20 years, and a recent surge of new breweries and its own annual beer festival has given it fresh energy.

Fall is a wonderful time of year to visit restaurants in Kelowna. How can you not feel good about sitting down to a meal knowing the head chef and his team scoured the local farmer’s market that morning selecting fresh produce and other ingredients for its preparation?

There's no such thing as a bad time of year to visit the Okanagan. In the fall the temperature is just right, there's always a lake or a mountain close by, and there is a bounty of delicious local food and drinks right at your fingertips. In the Fall, though, this warm and fertile valley serves its most prized delights. Here are just some of the reasons why you'll want to visit the Okanagan in the Fall.

Technically, summer isn’t officially done until September 22. That means you still have time for one last summer trip.

In Kelowna, you’ll find the lounges and pubs are a great recharge after an Okanagan day. The cocktails and drinks on tap definitely offer the opportunity to relax a bit too.

A luxurious hotel or quaint B&B can make a weekend with your significant other even more perfect. Isn’t it time to treat each other to water views, an abundance of wine and great food?
