About this tour
When Tom from our team ran the Sunset Sip Wine Tour near Kelowna, we got the full VIP treatment: three award-winning wineries, tastings included, and a late-day dinner reservation at a vineyard restaurant overlooking the rolling landscape. The tour runs 4–5 hours and covers one of Canada's top wine regions—the kind of place where you'll see other couples and small groups doing exactly what you're doing. Hotel pickup and drop-off are built in, so no stress about driving. It's a proper wind-down experience, the sort of thing that works on a weekend or when you've got time to breathe.
Highlights
- Three award-winning wineries in one afternoon—tasting fees covered upfront
- Farm-to-table dinner at a winery restaurant with included vineyard views
- Sunset over rolling vineyards, lake, and mountains from your dining spot
- Hotel pickup and drop-off removes the driving question entirely
- Small-group vibe; tour routed through Lake Country, East or West Kelowna
- Air-conditioned vehicle means comfort on warm Okanagan afternoons
- Flexible itinerary—your specific stops depend on tour date and conditions
What to expect
You'll be picked up from your hotel in the late afternoon and driven to the first of three wineries. Each stop is a proper tasting session—no rushed sip-and-dash—and the guides know the wines and the region's story. The pacing is leisurely; you're not power-touring, you're settling in. Kelowna's wine country feels upscale but unpretentious: tree-lined roads, lake glimpses, and vineyards that roll on. By late afternoon you'll be at the restaurant cellar for dinner. That's where the magic happens—good food, your wine pours, and the light turning golden across the valley.
Tom's read: the whole thing has a relaxed, grown-up feel. No rushing between stops, no massive groups. The route varies depending on which branch of the Okanagan your tour uses, so don't expect an exact repeat if you go twice. Weather doesn't stop play—rain or shine, you're going.

Good to know
This is a proper evening out, not a quick tick-box. Tasting fees are included, so no surprise costs at the cellar door. Hotel transport is a genuine convenience—no designated driver stress. The vineyard restaurant dinner view is genuinely worth the money (though dinner itself isn't included, so budget for that separately). You'll love this if you enjoy wine without the pretension, want a relaxed pace, and can spare 4–5 hours mid-to-late afternoon.
Dinner costs extra, which can catch people off guard. You need to be 19 and reasonably fit for the walking between tasting areas—wineries involve some stairs and uneven ground. The tour route isn't fixed; you might end up in Lake Country one time and East Kelowna another, so if you have your heart set on a specific winery, check ahead. Kelowna's wine region can be warm in summer, and you're partly outdoors, so dress accordingly. Group size varies. Peak season (summer weekends) can mean busier restaurants and busier tasting rooms.
