Kelowna is a city on Okanagan Lake in British Columbia's Okanagan Valley, and Voyzo lists 9 private tours here: wine trails in West Kelowna, wine days south to Summerland, Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Osoyoos, and captained boat cruises on Okanagan Lake. Kelowna is about 4.5 hours by road from Vancouver, and Kelowna International Airport is about 15 minutes from downtown, according to Tourism Kelowna. Prices are quoted by email rather than shown online, and some tours start in other towns, such as Vernon or Penticton; each card says where.
Last updated 26 October 2026. No prices are shown because tours are quoted by email. Official figures, seasons and rules were checked on that date; drive times to the wine areas come from the tour pages.
Tours
9 private tours, all quoted by email, so each card says Price on request. They are listed by type and then by distance from Kelowna: the West Kelowna wine trails first, then wine days to the south, then the boat cruises, with the Vernon wine-and-boat day last. Listed in Voyzo's own order, not ranked by price or reviews.

Tourism Kelowna's weather page lists average monthly precipitation from 19 mm in February to 45.9 mm in June but does not name its station. Environment Canada's Kelowna precipitation and snowfall normals are blank for most months, so no snowfall total is given.

Wine Growers British Columbia lists the sub-regions of the Okanagan Valley, including the ones in this table. This table matches each area to the Voyzo tours that go there; the drive times are the ones on the tour pages, not figures from an official source.
| Area | Where it is | Voyzo tours and stops |
|---|---|---|
| West Kelowna (Westside Wine Trail) | On the west side of Okanagan Lake, opposite downtown Kelowna. The first tour page lists hotel pickup in Kelowna or West Kelowna; the second lists pickup from a Kelowna hotel. | West Kelowna wine trail (Quails' Gate, Frind Estate, Indigenous World, Mt. Boucherie and Volcanic Hills, as named on the tour page) and Sip & Savor (Rollingdale, Indigenous World, Mt. Boucherie and Frind Estate). |
| Summerland | Wine Growers BC lists Summerland Valleys, Summerland Bench and Summerland Lakefront as sub-regions. The tour page gives 45 to 60 minutes south of Kelowna. | Summerland wine tour (Sage Hills, 8th Generation, SummerGate, Lunessence and Thornhaven Estates). |

| Golden Mile Bench and the south Okanagan | Wine Growers BC puts the Golden Mile Bench south of Oliver on the west side of the valley and describes desert-like conditions and long, hot summers in the south. The tour page gives roughly 1.5 to 2 hours south of Kelowna each way. | Oliver and Osoyoos wine tour (Hester Creek, Phantom Creek, Maverick and Black Hills; the tour page also names the nearby Black Sage Bench). |
| Vernon and the north Okanagan | Wine Growers BC calls Lake Country the northernmost sub-region. The tour pages put Vernon roughly 45 minutes north of Kelowna, and Tourism Kelowna says under 1 hour. | Vernon wine and boat tour (Gray Monk and Ancient Hill wineries, plus a two-hour captained lake cruise). |
| East and South Kelowna Slopes | Wine Growers BC lists both as sub-regions and says East Kelowna Slopes has the oldest operating vineyards in the Okanagan Valley. No Voyzo tour is built around them today. | The West Kelowna tour page says its route can be adjusted and alternate wineries in the area can be arranged on request; ask whether that includes these slopes. |
Winery names are those on the tour pages; routes and stop counts can change on the day. Tasting hours and seasons are set by each winery, so ask us to confirm them when you request a quote, along with whether tasting fees are included (the West Kelowna private tour page says they are).

What the official pages say about the places the tours and day plans use, checked 26 October 2026. Where sources disagree, both figures are given.
Tourism Kelowna says the Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail is 24 km (about 40 minutes) from downtown Kelowna and is designated a National Historic Site, and describes 18 wooden trestle bridges, two rock tunnels and a gravel path of 12 km one way between Myra and Ruth Stations. Parks Canada's register lists the Myra Canyon Section of the Kettle Valley Railway as a National Historic Site of Canada, a 9.6 km section of railway roadbed. BC Parks describes the section in Myra-Bellevue Provincial Park as 8.8 km with 16 wood-frame trestles, two steel bridges and two tunnels, so counts and lengths differ by source. BC Parks says the park is open year-round with services from mid-April to 15 November, and that the Myra parking area, split into two lots, has roughly 75 spots. Bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia, dogs must be on a leash in the Myra Canyon area, cyclists are asked to walk their bikes across the trestles, and motorized vehicles are prohibited. In winter the access road may need a 4x4, according to Tourism Kelowna. BC Parks warns of steep drop-offs at Crawford Falls and Devil's Elbow.
Tourism Kelowna says the trail spans over 50 km between Kelowna and Coldstream, near Vernon, with a gentle grade of no more than 1.3% and a mix of gravel and paved surfaces. It is free to use and open year-round, leashed dogs and e-bikes are permitted, and some segments between Kelowna and Lake Country may have detours or closures, so check conditions on okanaganrailtrail.ca before you set out.
Tourism Kelowna recommends hiking Knox Mountain Park and lists Knox Mountain, Boyce-Gyro Beach and the west-facing shores of Okanagan Lake as sunset spots, and Knox Mountain, Dilworth Mountain and Mount Boucherie as viewpoints. The Knox Mountain Hill Climb, which Tourism Kelowna calls one of the longest-running motorsport events in North America, races up the park road and is listed among spring events. Park hours and road access are set by the City of Kelowna, whose pages could not be read on 26 October 2026, so check them before you go.
Tourism Kelowna names the Kelowna Downtown Marina, Kelowna Paddle Centre on Abbott Street and Okanagan Beach Rentals at Rotary Beach and Tugboat Bay for kayak and paddleboard rental, and Gyro Beach for family beach days. It encourages putting on a lifejacket before boarding a vessel, warns of cold-water risks even on warm days, and asks boaters to follow Clean, Drain, Dry to stop the spread of zebra and quagga mussels. Smoking is prohibited in all Kelowna parks, including beaches.

Journey times are Tourism Kelowna's published figures; traffic, weather and mountain-pass conditions change them. Check DriveBC for current road conditions.
Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is about 15 minutes from downtown, according to Tourism Kelowna. It lists direct flights from Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, Victoria and Seattle, plus seasonal routes, and says many take less than an hour. Its getting-here page says the airport caters to more than 70 commercial flights a day, and its flying page says it welcomes over two million passengers a year. Car rentals, taxis, shuttles and rideshares are at the terminal. Flights change by season, so check the airport for the current schedule.
From Vancouver, about 4.5 hours via Highway 1 and 97C (the Okanagan Connector); from Seattle, about 5.5 hours via I-5, Highway 1 and 97C, crossing the border at Abbotsford; from Calgary, about 7.5 hours via Highway 1 through Golden and Revelstoke; from Kamloops, about 2 hours via Highway 97. Penticton and Vernon are each under an hour away on Highway 97.
Tourism Kelowna lists Ebus, with daily service between Kelowna, Vancouver, Kamloops and Calgary, and Rider Express, with scheduled routes between Kelowna, Vancouver and Alberta destinations. It tells travellers to check each carrier for current timetables.
Snow is common in mountain passes from October to April, according to Tourism Kelowna, which says winter tires are required on select mountain passes and highways from 1 October to 30 April (its driving page words this as most BC highways, so check DriveBC for the signed routes). Visitors may drive in British Columbia for up to six months with a valid licence from another province, state or country, and seat belts and child restraints are mandatory.
BC Transit runs the Kelowna regional buses. When checked on 26 October 2026 the adult single ride was $3 and the DayPASS $6, in Canadian dollars; children 12 and under ride free, and a single ride on Route 90 to Vernon was $6. Tourism Kelowna says RapidBus 97 links UBC Okanagan, downtown and Westbank, and points airport arrivals to Route 23, which connects with Route 97 at UBC Okanagan.
Downtown Kelowna is highly walkable, but Tourism Kelowna says rentals or tours are ideal for wineries, trailheads and farther-flung places. Downtown has on-street parking, parkades and surface lots, with PayByPhone and posted signage helping manage parking times, and the Visitor Centre lists oversize-vehicle parking at City Park (1600 Abbott Street).

Dates from Tourism Kelowna and the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society, checked 26 October 2026. Where a 2027 date is not published, the card says so.
The Fall Okanagan Wine Festival ran from 25 September to 4 October 2026. The Spring Okanagan Wine Festival is held each year in May, according to Tourism Kelowna, and the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society's events page listed no 2027 festival dates on 26 October 2026.

Tell us your date, group size and what you want to see. The Voyzo team replies by email with the tour that fits and the price for your group.
Tourism Kelowna says Kelowna is known for its lakeside setting, vineyards, orchards and outdoor adventure, and for being a UNESCO City of Gastronomy. UNESCO lists Kelowna in its Creative Cities Network in gastronomy, a member since 2025. Kelowna is in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, and Voyzo's tours here are mostly wine-country days and boat cruises on Okanagan Lake.
Tourism Kelowna gives about 4.5 hours by road from Vancouver via Highway 1 and 97C, the Okanagan Connector, and about 5.5 hours from Seattle. It lists direct flights from Vancouver to Kelowna International Airport and says many of the direct flights take less than an hour. Tourism Kelowna also says winter tires are required on select mountain passes and highways from 1 October to 30 April.
Kelowna International Airport is about 15 minutes from downtown, according to Tourism Kelowna, with car rentals, taxis, shuttles and rideshares at the terminal. Tourism Kelowna also points airport arrivals to BC Transit Route 23, which connects with Route 97 at UBC Okanagan; the adult single ride was $3 (Canadian dollars) when checked on 26 October 2026. For a group, see Voyzo's Kelowna charters.
Tourism Kelowna suggests three to five days for a balance of lake time, food and wine, and outdoor exploration. The wine areas south of the city and around Vernon are each a separate trip: the tour pages put them at about 45 minutes to 2 hours of driving from Kelowna, so plan one area per day. One way to spend three days is the lake and waterfront on day 1, one wine area on day 2 and the Myra Canyon trail on day 3.
Tourism Kelowna says Kelowna shines year-round, with blossoms in spring, lake days in summer, harvest events in fall and skiing access in winter. Summer is the lake season, with average daily highs of 28.5 °C in July and 28.2 °C in August (Environment Canada 1991–2020 normals). Fall is one of the best times to visit the wineries, according to Tourism Kelowna, and the Fall Okanagan Wine Festival ran from 25 September to 4 October 2026. In winter, daily highs average about 1 °C in December and January.
Environment Canada's 1991–2020 normals for the Kelowna station show average daily highs of 28.5 °C in July and 28.2 °C in August, with lows of 11.4 °C and 10.5 °C. The highest temperature recorded in that period was 39.5 °C in July, and July and August average about 14 and 13 days with a humidex of 30 or higher. Wine Growers British Columbia says daytime temperatures in the Okanagan can reach 40 °C.
Snow is common in the mountain passes around Kelowna from October to April, according to Tourism Kelowna, which describes the city's own winters as short and mild and names Big White Ski Resort for skiing, snowshoeing and tubing. Environment Canada's 1991–2020 normals for Kelowna show average daily highs of 1.1 °C in December and 0.7 °C in January, with lows near −6 °C; its snowfall normals are blank for most months, so no annual snowfall total is given here.
Yes. Tourism Kelowna says guided wine tours, shuttles and local ride services make winery visits simple, and that many offer hotel pick-up. Driving while impaired by alcohol or cannabis is illegal in British Columbia and strictly enforced, and open liquor is not permitted in vehicles. Voyzo's wine tours are private, with a driver, and each tour page says where it collects you.
Tourism Kelowna counts more than 40 wineries within a short drive of the city. The wider Okanagan Valley wine region, which stretches over 250 km from north to south, has around 200 wineries and 86% of British Columbia's vineyard acreage, according to Wine Growers British Columbia.
West Kelowna is the closest, with hotel pickup in Kelowna on both of Voyzo's trails there. Summerland (45 to 60 minutes south) and the Naramata Bench (about an hour) are separate day trips, Okanagan Falls (about 1.5 hours) is family-owned wineries and an orange wine, and Oliver and Osoyoos (roughly 1.5 to 2 hours each way) are the hot south with Golden Mile Bench and Black Sage Bench wineries. The times are the ones on the tour pages, not an official figure.
It depends on the tour. The West Kelowna wine trails collect guests at their hotel: in Kelowna or West Kelowna on the first trail, in Kelowna on the second. The tours to Summerland, Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Osoyoos include pickup in those wine areas or nearby towns such as Penticton, and pickup from Kelowna is arranged for an added transportation charge confirmed in your quote. The pontoon cruise leaves a marina on Okanagan Lake, with the dock confirmed when you book, and the two Vernon boat tours start in Vernon, about 45 minutes north, with a transfer from Kelowna on request.
All 9 Voyzo tours in Kelowna are private tours for your own group; none is a shared departure. The wine tours come with a driver and the boat cruises are captained, and a stop run by someone else, such as the Okanagan Beach Club on the Vernon boat day, follows its own rules, with lunch and admission at your own expense. Each tour page lists what is included, and the quote confirms the pickup and the price for your group.
On 26 October 2026 Voyzo showed no online price for its Kelowna tours: each is quoted by email for your group size, date and pickup, which is why the cards say Price on request. Pickup from Kelowna on the wine tours south of the city carries an added transportation charge, which the quote confirms. Sending a request books nothing and takes no payment, and a booking is confirmed once you and Voyzo agree on the itinerary, price and any deposit or payment terms in writing.
Tourism Kelowna says Okanagan Lake stretches about 135 km and is more than 230 metres deep. Voyzo's Okanagan Lake guide notes that sources give lengths of 113 to 135 km and a maximum depth of about 230 to 242 metres. Tourism Kelowna warns of cold-water risks even on warm days and encourages wearing a lifejacket before boarding a vessel.
The Ogopogo is the legendary lake creature of Okanagan folklore, and no confirmed animal has been documented, according to Voyzo's Okanagan Lake guide. The Syilx tradition of N'ha-a-itk describes a sacred water being rather than a monster. Several Ogopogo statues have stood in Kelowna; Voyzo's City Park guide says to check with the City of Kelowna for what is on site today.
Yes. The Myra Canyon section of the Kettle Valley Rail Trail is 24 km (about 40 minutes) from downtown Kelowna and open year-round, with May to October the main season, according to Tourism Kelowna. The gravel path is 12 km one way between Myra and Ruth Stations, and in winter the access road may need a 4x4. BC Parks says services run from mid-April to 15 November, bicycle helmets are mandatory in British Columbia and dogs must be on a leash in the Myra Canyon area. Read the Myra Canyon guide.
Canadian travellers do not need a passport, and international visitors need valid documents, according to Tourism Kelowna. Under Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada's rules, checked on 26 October 2026, visa-exempt foreign nationals need an eTA (CAD 7) to fly to or transit through a Canadian airport, U.S. citizens are exempt, and travellers arriving by car, bus, train or boat do not need one. Rules change, so confirm them on canada.ca.
Tourism Kelowna says hot, dry summers increase wildfire risk in the region and that many fires in British Columbia are human-caused. It points visitors to the BC Air Quality Index for smoke conditions and DriveBC for road conditions, and the BC Wildfire Service lists an automated information line on 1-888-336-7378. Check fire restrictions before lighting any fire, and report a wildfire on 1-800-663-5555 or *5555 from a cell phone.
Dated events found on 26 October 2026, from late autumn into winter: Skate Canada International at Prospera Place from 30 October to 1 November 2026, and the Craft Culture Holiday Market on 4 to 6 December 2026. Tourism Kelowna also lists the Downtown Kelowna Winter Street Market & Light Up in Stuart Park, a New York New Year's Eve celebration and the Taste Around dining event, without 2027 dates on the pages we read. It also names Big White Ski Resort for skiing, snowshoeing and tubing.

About
Kelowna sits on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the syilx/Okanagan people, according to Tourism Kelowna, beside Okanagan Lake. Wine Growers British Columbia calls the Okanagan Valley British Columbia's oldest grape-growing region, and the valley's wine areas are the focus of most Voyzo tours here.
The tours fall into three groups: the West Kelowna wine trails, with hotel pickup in Kelowna; wine days to Summerland, Naramata, Okanagan Falls, Oliver and Osoyoos, which include pickup in those wine areas or nearby towns such as Penticton; and boat cruises on Okanagan Lake, one from a marina on the lake and two that start in Vernon. Winery hours and seasons, and the weather on the lake, can change a day's plan; each tour page says what is included.
