The Okanagan Valley delivers fantastic wine tours that make the most of your time and money. Half-day tours efficiently pack in 4 wineries with convenient hotel pickups, while full-day excursions visit 5 estates. I’m especially fond of the e-bike wine tours – they’re a smart way to enjoy the scenery between tastings while working up an appetite. The railway biking tour combines local history with wine tasting, a clever pairing you won’t find elsewhere. For something unique, try the Bee Tour to learn about honey wine production (a pleasant surprise in wine country).
These tours run with small groups, typically 8-12 people, keeping the experience intimate. The best ones include all tasting fees and knowledgeable local guides who know the winemakers personally.
