Who are we? 
Sagebrush Tours is a fun, professional, and experienced locally-owned Okanogan touring company with deep family roots in the area, going back to 1910. Located in the heart of wine country, in Penticton, British Columbia, and touring the surrounding area, including Kelowna, our tours can take from 3-8 hours depending on the location and wineries chosen. All tours are led by one of our knowledgeable guides who will take you on a journey to discover Okanagan wines, agriculture, and the history of the area.
What makes us different?
We are a luxury wine tour provider in the Okanagan Valley. What does that mean? As the Okanagan’s only ecotourism company, we offer private wine tours throughout the valley. We know and reveal many hidden facts, significant local features, and stories that no other tour operator knows, so you get to experience the Okanagan through local eyes.
We also offer Private Tours. Due to the current global pandemic, Private Tours are only for your accepted Social Bubble and no one outside of your approved group will be booked onto the bus. This means smaller groups and more personalized services both are offered on the bus and at each winery. Smaller, private tours allows you to tailor and upgrade your experience by choosing:
- Which wineries you visit (although there may be additional tasting costs for some).
- Flexible start and lunch times.
- The choice to end the tour with supper or stop halfway for lunch.
- To upgrade to premium tastings or black glass tastings (blind tastings).
- To upgrade to a Private Seated tasting or a Winery Tour & Tasting at the wineries.
Shared tours are currently unavailable due to Provincial Health Orders and winery tasting protocols. This makes Private Tours much more available, valuable, and intimate. Our Private Tours are for two or more people, whereas others have set tours at a minimum of four guests.
