Kelowna Travel Guide

Canada's wine country on Okanagan Lake, known for wine, lakeside and summer holidays.

📍 Destination Overview

Kelowna, British Columbia's largest interior city on Okanagan Lake, is the heart of Canada's wine country. The 135-kilometre lake is famed for the rumoured Ogopogo monster; over forty wineries, led by Mission Hill and Quails' Gate, offer tastings, while orchards welcome fruit-pickers. A sunny semi-arid climate makes it one of the West's favourite lakeside summer resorts.
