Detailed itinerary
1
With its eccentric styling, tasty wines and 1930’s vibe, this is definitely the most interesting winery in the Okanagan Wine Country. Lunch reservations are included at the striking Angel Share rooftop restaurant at Crown and Thieves or Hatching Post!
2
Truck 59 Ciderhouse is a local favourite in West Kelowna. The quality of the cider and incredible lake views are unparalleled.
3
The thing you never knew that you always wanted: a saloon located in West Kelowna, right on the JPC Trail! Enjoy drinking handcrafted beers, ciders, and JPC wines while eating great BBQ! Lunch reservations included here or at Angel Share restaurant at Crown and Thieves Winery.
4
The Hatch is a tasting emporium where wine isn't taken too seriously and there's an intricate story behind every bottle and label! Happy juice lives here.
5
Black Swift Vineyards takes its name from the elusive, high-flying black swift bird that flies in screaming frenzies and only produces one solitary egg each year. Building on that idea, the wines released under the Black Swift name are all single-vineyard focused.
