The Lake Country wine region north of Kelowna is a treasure chest of great wines.
This tour is available as either a full-day Excursion or half-day Get Away. Excursion goes to 5 wineries with a lunch stop.
Get Away goes to 4 wineries with no lunch stop and the option to take a morning or afternoon get away (book item 4 in 3).
You will find real gems at these wineries with a wide selection of quality wines.
The terroir is an attractive mix of clay, gravel, and limestone with steep slopes, which provides excellent drainage and the proximity to Okanagan Lake moderates the temperatures protecting the vineyards from killer frosts. Lake Country receives 2,000 hours of sunshine yet is a cool (temperature) sub-region and gets about 50 per cent more rain than the South Okanagan Valley, still a meager 30 cm a year.
The terroir and cooler temperatures produce impressive Riesling, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, and other varietals. The scenery is spectacular with wonderful views overlooking Okanagan Lake.
