For the Foodie In Your Life


We are thrilled to introduce one of our newest additions to the Love for Kelowna Retail Program – Okanagan Select. This brand holds a special place in our hearts because of its deep connection to the syilx people, its commitment to sustainability, and, of course, its exceptional taste. Their efforts are focused on protecting, conserving, and enhancing the salmon to ensure it thrives for generations to come. We proudly offer three varieties of Okanagan Select salmon, Candied Wild Pink Salmon, Candied Wild Sockeye Salmon and Maple Smoked Wild Chinook Salmon. You can learn more about their mission and products on the Okanagan Select Website.

Another local gem is Taste of The Okanagan, a family-owned business founded by a mother-daughter duo right here in the heart of the Okanagan. Their philosophy centers around the belief that quality matters more than quantity, and they are dedicated to using locally grown produce to minimize their environmental footprint. We are excited to carry a selection of their delicious product, including their Orchard Chutney and the Winemaker's Grilling Sauce. You can find a list of the products we carry here.

Here are some other gifts available at the Kelowna Visitor Centre that your favourite foodie would love!

You can also find some amazing local cookbooks from Okanagan Chefs, such as the Burrowing Owl Estate Winery Cookbook, Fraiche Food, Fuller Hearts: Wholesome Everyday Recipes Made With Love, Okanagan Eats, The Butcher, The Baker, The Wine & Cheese Maker, and more!
