If you’re looking for a wine tour that departs from Kelowna and the West Kelowna (aka West Bank), then check out Distinctly Kelowna Wine Tours. While I wouldn’t recommend this tour company for a bachelorette party (think your dad or grandpa driving you), they are an excellent choice for leisurely drives and historical factoids as you dive into the extinct volcanic terroir that is the Westside Bench. 

They do a great job of mixing both high end, commercial style wineries with impressive architecture as well as boutique-style wineries with small batches for purchase. The two types of wineries together give you a great flavour of what the Okanagan is all about. 

Gorgeous views, delicious food and spectacular wines as well as impressive tours. This is a great starting point if you’re new to the Okanagan yet do not have the time to explore more than the Kelowna area.
