There has never been a better reason to visit Kelowna than right now! Come taste the new spring wine releases and load up your cellars for the summer parties ahead. 

April is #BCWineMonth and spring release time in wine country, so the buzz is palpable! After the long winter, winophiles will now be rewarded for their patience with news of the fabulous new vintages making their debut on the wine scene.

Walking among the vines with a glass of wine in hand or dining in the cellar among the tanks are just two of the many wine country experiences you can have when you host your event in Kelowna.

Whether you’ve just completed a fabulous dinner and want to cap it off with a sweet treat, or you're on the hunt for the perfect chocolate pie, whatever your craving, these restaurants have it. But be warned, you won’t want to share.

The past couple weeks have seen the mercury slowly drop in Kelowna and while we all bundled up, the icy cold weather brings something magical and quintessentially Canadian to our local vineyards.

Frosty fall nights make for heartier food cravings and new seasonal menus to create in your cozy kitchen at home.

Dining at this time of year is an absolute treat. Thanks to the invention of heating lamps, coupled with cozy blankets, the Okanagan embraces sunshine and the great outdoors throughout the harvest season with many patios that remain open throughout October and November.

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?
