Callie's favourite spot in Kelowna. A table on the boardwalk is a must, enjoy a slush cocktail, and take in the views of Okanagan Lake on a summer day. Take a stroll down to the Marina and become a member of the "El Crew". Pro tip: The best way to enjoy the Okanagan Lake is to get on it! Rent a SUP, kayak, seadoo or boat at the Marina.
Great spot for a casual breakfast or lunch. Our fav's: Eggsperience #1, tuna salad sandwhich, paleo bar
Enjoy all that Downtown Kelowna has to offer! Photo-ops at the "Sails" and the "Dolphins", take a stroll down Bernard Ave (for shops, cafes and restaurants), be sure to pass the Kelowna Yacht Club and walk the Boardwalk, go for a swim in the lake and more! Side note: The Kelowna Visitors Centre is a great spot for local souvenirs. Pro tip: Stop at Moolix or Parlour for an ice cream (both on Bernard Ave).
There is no shortage of great beaches! Check out Gyro Beach (beach volley ball, water rentals), Strathcona Beach (a quieter spot), Rotary Beach (there is a taco food truck here that is delicious!), Hot Sands Beach (conveniently located Downtown)
Or 18 at any of Kelowna's picturesque golf courses. Here are some top picks: - The Harvest - Gallagher's Canyon - Predator Ridge - For a more casual round consider Michaelbrook Ranch
Stretch your legs and go for a hike up Knox Mountain for epic views of the City, Okanagan Lake and surrounding mountains. Pro tip: Follow the Paul's Tomb trail and take a dip in the lake.
You can't visit Kelowna without a visit to one or more of the hundreds of wineries in the Okanagan. There are many guided tour options to choose from, or take a self-guided tour. Here are a few top recommendations from the locals: Lake Country - Gray Monk - Ex Nihilo - Blind Tiger - 49th Parallel Kelowna - Summerhill Winery - CedarCreek Winery - St. Hubertus Winery East Kelowna - Mirabel - The View - The Vibrant Vine (you'll be able to check this one off!) West Kelowna - Grizzli - Quails Gate - Frind - Black Swift
Great selection of craft beers (and other cocktails and non-alcoholic options), wood fire pizza and other bites.
Patio, view, and vibes 11/10
Head to K.L.O Farm Market and pick-up some fresh fruits (the veggies are great too), or you can pick it yourself at Kuipers Family Farm. August is peach season!
If you have some extra time, the turquoise water of Kalamalka Lake is a must-see. Go for a hike to see the views at Kalamalka Lake Provincial Park, or have a beach day at Kaloya Regional Park.
Callie's favourite: Lakeshore Roll Kyle's favourite: Pandosy Roll Sidenote: Barn Owl Brewery across the street is a great spot for brews, they also have rotating food trucks on-site
Enjoy a cider made from local apples while sitting in an orchard. Yes, you read that right.
Brunch. You won't regret the cinnamon roll, big enough to share! Sidenote: Shoreline Brewery is another great spot for food or brews! You're also located right across the street from Gyro Beach. Brunch or brews with a view, doesn't get better than that!
