Kelowna’s drink scene is bursting with flavour—from the first sip of locally roasted coffee to the refreshing tang of cold-pressed juice made with Okanagan-grown fruit. Around every corner, you’ll find craft breweries pouring inventive ales, cideries capturing the crisp essence of local apples, and distilleries infusing small-batch spirits with bold, regional character. Wherever you go, the passion behind each pour is unmistakable—and every drink tells a delicious, distinctly Kelowna story.

In Kelowna, every sip tells a story—of passion, place, and the people who craft it. From small-batch distilleries and indie coffee roasters to orchard-side cideries and creative local breweries, this is a city where flavour flows freely and craft is a way of life. Surrounded by natural abundance, Kelowna’s makers draw from the land itself—think wild botanicals, crisp apples, golden hops, and hand-roasted beans.  

You’ll taste cold brews with hints of Okanagan cherry, gins infused with regional herbs, hazy IPAs bursting with character, and ciders that taste like sunshine in a glass. Every pour is thoughtfully made, often just steps from where the ingredients were grown or brewed. Whether you’re sipping a new release in a downtown tasting room or soaking up lake views with something sparkling in hand, Kelowna’s craft scene is vibrant, welcoming, and full of local soul.  

Thirsty for something different? Follow your curiosity to where the fizz, roast, and pour come to life. In Kelowna, craft isn’t just a drink—it’s an experience.
