If you’re thinking of soaking up the sun this summer in beautiful Kelowna, you’re going to need a place to start your day. Make the most of your visit by heading to one of these restaurants noted for serving up a superior late-morning dining experience.

To coin a phrase, you can lead your family to fun, but you can’t make them enjoy it. In Kelowna you don’t have to – family fun comes naturally and there’s something for everyone to enjoy.

In the summer, we all love to escape indoor spaces and enjoy the fresh air and warm sunshine. Sitting down with a glass of Okanagan wine enhances that experience. Visit one of these friendly establishments and heighten the occasion with the company of good friends—or the opportunity to make new ones.

Most locals that grew up in the valley can remember those carefree summer days, once school was out and the fruits became ripe on the neighbourhood trees. Well, that time of year is back!

Here are a few suggestions on how to celebrate dad with a cruise around Kelowna this Father’s Day.

Kelowna welcomes your entire family, including your furry travel buddies. If you are travelling with your pup, there are lots of great paths, trails, walkways, and parks you can visit, but keep in mind, most places require your little buddy on a leash.

We are a city with bountiful agritourism and gastronomic adventures so go ahead and savour Kelowna from the ground up.

If you only had one, just one day to spend in Kelowna here are a few of the many must-see attractions and venues.  (You really should stay longer or start planning your next holiday though!) 

Be it a selfie captured with your new cell phone or a more sophisticated image thoughtfully crafted on a digital SLR, recording a visit to Kelowna means you’ve got to make the most of your photo opportunities. Good lighting makes a difference (the golden hour is extra special on Okanagan Lake), so does attention to detail. But nothing is as important as having the right subject. Here are a few locations to help you really deliver the magic while exploring everything Kelowna has to offer—from the mountainside to the lakeside.

Your best friend has decided to tie the knot and you’ve gleefully agreed to be her Maid of Honour. Now you’ve got a bachelorette to plan and you want the event to be something she’ll never forget.
