wine tasting in Kelowna

+1 my girl and I rented a beach house for a couple nights last year, it was awesome. Great little town, good food, lots of stuff to do.

That sounds awesome! Good idea! So wine tasting is free at all the wineries? Is it only restricted to patrons that stay at that hotel?

^ thats correct but ur limit to 4 testers per winery and you dont need to be a patron at the hotel.

Good for u to test out some wines and bring it in to ebisu

go for a walk on Bowen Isl. Hop on the ship from Horseshoe bay and be there in around 20-25 min. I think it's only $10 for rtn tickets.

There is only 2 ways to get there , and they are both not public transit.

+1 for this if you're on a budget. Lots of B&Bs. Don't plan to walk much unless you're in really good shape, though, as Bowen is REALLY hilly. That said, there are lots of cool shops and restaurants and galleries and such right there in Snug Cove, within 10-15 minutes' walk of the ferry slip.

Also lots of really great views around the island, but you WILL probably want to drive.
