Wine tours
One of the best ways to experience Kelowna’s growing wine scene is to join a wine tour. A knowledgeable driver will take you around to four or five wineries for an afternoon of sampling everything from oaky Chardonnay to robust Zweigelt.
Ice wine
Canada is the world’s largest producer of ice wine, which is a style of dessert wine that’s created using wine grapes that have frozen on the vine. Once the temperature drops to -8C, the grapes are picked (sometimes in the middle of the night!) and then pressed while still frozen. The freezing process concentrates the sugars inside the fruit, so the resulting wine is deliciously sweet. If you’ve never tried it, you’re in for a treat!
