Kelowna

Kelowna - #1 Wine Country in Canada!

Kelowna lies in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, the largest city on Okanagan Lake.

Whether you’re looking for a family-friendly holiday, a romantic getaway, a weekend with friends, or all three, you’ve come to the right place. Cradled within a glorious range of mountains is a sanctuary filled with pristine lakes, pine forests, abundant gardens, orchards and vineyards, sandy beaches and superb amenities. Stretching from north to south for approximately 135 km (84 miles)is beautiful Okanagan Lake. The lake sustains several diverse communities along this corridor, known as the Okanagan Valley. The Okanagan Valley is a semi-arid climate, boasting long warm summers and short mild winters. The city of Kelowna is the largest community and is located midway through the valley. It has a population of 191,200 and is the transportation, business, and service hub of the valley.

Relatively undiscovered, Kelowna is never too crowded despite playing host to visitors all over the world. The Kelowna International Airport, one of the busiest airports in Canada, easily connects to major North American cities. With daily flights, it’s just a 60-minute flight from Calgary or Vancouver and 70minutes from Seattle. Daily direct flights to Toronto are also available. A variety of accommodations offer choices ranging from lakeside resorts to cozy B&Bs.

While you're in Kelowna, check out the energetic downtown and the beautiful waterfront boardwalk. Go on a tour of the many local Okanagan wineries, craft breweries, cideries, and distilleries. Hit the trails by bike, visit the historic Myra Canyon Trestles, or hike to the top of a mountain. Looking for farm-fresh food?
