Four years ago, my future husband, good friend, and another friend (who unfortunately I am no longer in touch with) went to Osoyoos to visit the wineries.  We had a great time, and doing another wine trip has been high on my travel list.  Due to COVID-19, my travel plans for 2020 were cancelled, leaving only local travel as an option, so it was the perfect opportunity to do another wine trip.  This time I went to Kelowna, another city known for its wineries. I went over the Labour Day Long weekend with my husband, my sister, the same good friend from the Osoyoos trip, and another good friend.  We rented an Airbnb with a hot tub (our motto for the trip is #hottubwine), and we went to several wineries, a gin distillery (there were donkeys!), a meadery, a cidery, and a kangaroo farm.  We had an absolute blast, and it will definitely be one of my favourite trips, one that would not have happened if it weren't for COVID.

Kelowna - Quails on the side of the road. - Local Flavor Near Me

Kelowna is a very nice tourist designation especially during the summer time. People come here in the summer for the wine tours. yes Kelowna/Okanagan is known for their wine. There are so many wineares and a bottle of wine is very very reasonably priced. People who come here on vacation always go back home and said they wished they bought more wine. Yup, people make the same mistakes wishes they bought more. In the winter time, people come here to ski. It is located so close to/ an hour away from Big White resort. If you are a local you do get discounts ski passes. Unfortunately, I am not a local there. Downtown is nice. Like Vancouver there is a free skating rink. So remember to bring your own skates or you could rent them there. read more
