6 Distilleries in Kelowna That You Shouldn't Miss
Located on the sunny Lake Okanagan, Kelowna offers a cure for whatever ails you. Spend the weekend golfing, relaxing on the beach or exploring a nature trail. The Okanagan Valley is chock-full of orchards, while many local vineyards offer wine tasting and tours. Stop at the mid-19th-century Father Pandosy Mission for a glimpse of Kelowna's history, then plan a moonlit cruise on the lake to end your day.

The Scenic Road Cider Co. is an absolute hidden gem. If you're a cider fan visiting Kelowna (or even local to) you have to check this place out. We visited in the early afternoon, a quick pit stop on the Friday of my bachelorette weekend and were warmly greeted by Taylor when we walked in. After a quick ID check we were offered samples of their 3 ciders (and apple juice for our DD). All were absolutely delicious, although the dry was definitely our favourite (& only 5g sugar per bottle - bonus!). Taylor also gave us a knowledgable tour of the brewing area and gave us a great insight into the cider making process. We bought a case of cider before we left with 10% off the price of this. This cidery and orchard is small, friendly and welcoming and the grounds & barn are oh, so cute. If you're in the area - for sure put this place on your visit list!

We needed a break from wine tasting so we booked this spirit tasting. Learned a lot of about the art of whiskey and vodka making along with how to make liqueurs from your favourite fruits. We highly recommend this if you are in Kelowna or Vernon.
