Wine tastings
Wine, wine, everywhere!! We are located within the newly updated Westside Wine Trail. Cheers!
A fun, lively winery on the Westside Wine Trail where the tasting crew often dish out lavish descriptions of their wines. Take a picnic lunch to enjoy on the grounds with your wine. A locals favorite. Visit the Hatch spin-off Black Swift Vineyards for one of the most jaw-dropping views!

Driving into the Mission Hill Winery grounds feels like you've landed in Royal territory in Europe. From Barona Beach, the Mission bells can be heard throughout the day. Highly recommended: EXhilaration Brut, a great bubbly. Mission Hill Winery recently made the list for the World's Best Vineyards 2019! Try the wine paired two course lunch, delicious!! Reservations are a must.

This fabulous winery lets you sip wine as you pet some of the goats and other animals on the property. Each animal has a charming write-up to tell you about each personality. Another highlight is the on-site food truck. Or you can bring your own picnic, buy one of their fabulous wines and have lunch. The wines are all organic and although we're not really fans of Gewürztraminer (too sweet), we LOVED Off the Grid's. It has an orangy rose colour and is not sweet at all but rather kind of "soft" like the French Sauternes wines we love when in France. Love this place!

This massive winery incorporates artwork throughout and also has lots of big bus tours going through. Highlight: Take a "Sip and Paint" class with a local artist. Sip wine as you follow the artist's strokes and create your own masterpiece!

Lovely, small home winery. Take a picnic or order some appies and sip on a rosé in their lovely backyard. The host Roberto is delightful and his wine making pays homage to his Italian parents. Highlight: Roberto will make you a cappuccino if you need a break from vino!

Frind Estate Winery. How excited we are to have such a gorgeous winery within walking distance from Barona Beach. This winery is the brainchild of uber millionaire, Markus Frind, founder of Plenty of Fish (POF) dating site. This is the only winery accessible by boat/paddleboard/kayak/lake. Annie's Bistro opens at 7am for coffee and delicious house-baked pastries. Buy a bottle of wine and take your lunch to one of the picnic tables or patio. Frind offers yoga classes in the summer. NEW in 2021! Beach Walk fav!!

A small winery, you'll only find these wines at some exclusive local wine stores so we recommend going there directly. Kalala's 2016 Chardonnay Ice Wine took “Best Chardonnay’s in the World” at the 2018 Chardonnay du Monde Competition in France.

WOW .... this word best describes the new tasting room and restaurant at Mt. Boucherie. Try the burgers and 2017 Reserve Syrah (fantastic!). Everyone in our party said these were easily the best burgers they'd ever had. Juicy, perfectly cooked meat, house-made pickles, best sesame buns. Watching other food being served to other patrons all looked delicious too. You can buy preserves and other goodies there too and bring a picnic of your own food (and even wine) to have in the picnic area. Nice views top it all off! Tip! Go for happy hour and try the Marinated Feta and Buddy Burgers, mmmm ....

Food scene
One of the best fruit/veggie stands in the Okanagan and they grow most everything in the orchard behind the market. Lots of fun things to do for kids and some of their produce is organic and spray free. This is on the Westside Farm Loop: https://www.visitwestside.com/listings/westside-farm-loop/.

Even if you aren't vegetarian, trust me, you will find something to love at this outstanding plant-based restaurant in Kelowna. Exquisite food, presentation and service. Outdoor patio. Reservations recommended. PS This is located in a strip mall off the main highway going through Kelowna. They have made the patio nice though and the food is so good, it doesn't matter where it is located :-)
