Imagine waking up to lakeside views, spending your days sipping small-lot wines, and winding down with unforgettable estate experiences. This multi-day Kelowna wine itinerary is designed for relaxed exploring, thoughtful tastings, and a mix of boutique charm and iconic Okanagan estates. Along the way, you’ll also find delicious local dining and scenic stops to make the most of your getaway.

​Day 1

Start Your Journey with Lakeside Views

Begin your adventure with breakfast overlooking the breathtaking Okanagan Lake. Located in the historic Hotel Eldorado, Lakeside Dining Room has a classic resort feel with marvellous mountain and marina views. As most wineries are a 10-15-minute drive from downtown, it’s easy to ease into the day before hitting the wine trail.

Boutique Winery Tasting Experience

​Late morning, make your way to Niche Wine Co. in West Kelowna, a boutique winery known for small-batch wines produced on a family-run farm. Be sure to book your tasting in advance, especially on weekends or during peak season, so you can fully relax with your tasting at this hidden hillside vineyard.

Lunch Among the Vines​

Visit Old Vines Restaurant at Quails’ Gate Estate Winery, an optimal choice for a leisurely lunch with a backdrop of rolling rows of grapes and shimmering water. With a true farm-to-table focus, you’ll savour seasonal dishes perfectly paired with their estate wines. Advance reservations are strongly recommended to secure a patio with one of the best views.

​Afternoon Vineyard Tour

Join a guided vineyard and cellar tour, such as Vivid Tours, to learn about the whole winemaking process — from grape to glass. Walk the rows, discover their organic or sustainable practices, and taste through a curated flight. These tours typically last 60–90 minutes, so consider booking a mid-afternoon slot to leave time for a short break before dinner.

​Dinner with a Perfect Pairing

Round out day one at Home Block Restaurant at CedarCreek Estate Winery, creating an evening that truly celebrates food and wine together. Here you’ll find a relaxed dining room that focuses on seasonal, farm-to-table dishes paired to complement CedarCreek’s portfolio of wines. Reservations are recommended for sunset seatings, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays.​

Day 2

Late Morning Sparkling Wine Tasting

Begin with a late-morning sparkling wine tasting at a winery known for its bubbles. Summerhill Pyramid Winery is recognized as a top producer of Canadian sparkling wine with organic and biodynamic vineyards overlooking Okanagan Lake. Take extra time to drive along the lakeshore for epic photo-ops.

Lunch with a Mediterranean Vibe

Make a stop at Maestro’s Mediterranean Restaurant and Terrace, located inside Manteo Resort on the shores of Okanagan Lake. The menu showcases sea-inspired dishes built around local vegetables and generous use of oils, spices, and grains, with flavours influenced by coastal destinations like Valencia, Genoa, Split, and Nice. Set in a bright, vibrant space with waterfront views, Maestro’s offers a relaxed yet elevated dining experience.

Afternoon Tasting & Dinner at an Iconic Estate

Visit Mission Hill Family Estate or 50th Parallel Estate Winery, both renowned for their architecture, expansive vineyards, and lake views. Estate experiences include seated tastings, educational flights, and estate or cellar tours, so pre-booking is essential to secure your preferred time.

Enjoy a relaxed yet refined meal at the Terrace Restaurant at Mission Hill. Choose a two-course family-style lunch or a three-course dinner showcasing regional flavours, thoughtfully paired with Mission Hill’s wines. In cooler months, dine indoors in the welcoming Visitor’s Hall, while warmer days offer terrace seating with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake.

BLOCK ONE Restaurant at 50th Parallel pairs forward-thinking wines and locally sourced ingredients with standout design, set above their expansive vineyard. Dine beneath an award-winning cantilevered roof in warmer months, or outside in the stunning outdoor space. At the centre of the experience is a wood-fired forno, shaping a menu built around high-heat cooking and bold, aromatic flavours.

​Day 3

Scenic Stops & Bonus Tastings

On your final day, explore additional boutique wineries like Hidden Vines Family Estate Winery, or make time for panoramic viewpoints over Okanagan Lake. Many wineries have lookouts or lawns where you can pause, take photos, or enjoy a purchased bottle in a picnic area.

To round out the day, pair your tastings with some of Kelowna’s nearby attractions. Wander along the lakeside boardwalk, stop into local art galleries, or swing by Kelowna’s Original Farmers’ Market to browse fresh local produce, handmade goods, and artisanal treats. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, explore one of the city’s scenic parks or stroll along its sandy beaches, or simply unwind at a nearby spa for a relaxing finish to your wine‑focused escape.
