Things to do in Kelowna, Okanagan Valley: The Best Private Tours
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.

My sister and I took this tour yesterday with Chris as our Guide and Chef and we had an amazing time. We enjoyed some wonderful wines from some smaller wineries we had not visited before. The food prepared by Chris was mouthwatering and beautifully presented and as an added bonus Chris was so entertaining and informative. We would certainly recommend this tour and will definitely try one of their other tours when we return to Kelowna next year.

This wine tour was the highlight of our trip to Kelowna! Our tour guide Bill was an absolute delight. We booked the tour quite last minute, but he managed to get us into some phenomenal wineries! All of the wineries were so different from one another it was impossible to be bored. Along the way we visited smaller boutique wineries (such as a self-sustaining organic winery with the most adorable goats and chickens) and larger-scale, internationally recognized wineries. Bills passion for wine is obvious and he took the time to share his vast knowledge with us throughout the tour. We learned so much on the tour, such as the unique features of Okanagan wine and how to successfully pair food with wine. The experience truly enhanced our appreciation for wine! I am already looking forward to planning another tour with Bill in the future!

Booked the Naramata wine tour for my wife’s birthday. Frank picked us an on time and off we went. Had the entire tour to ourselves which wasn’t a surprise given Covid and all and it’s is off season. We had 4 tastings lined up and since we were running a bit ahead of schedule Frank squeezed in another tasting free of charge. We ended up buying a couple of cases of wine to help support the local wineries and had a great time in the process. Will definitely call Sagebrush best time we are looking for a tour which is often as we have lost of friends who come to visit us here in the Okanagan. Awesome job Frank! Thanks again for a great day.

What a fantastic day in the Fraser Valley! Dave was great fun, organised, flexible and very knowledgeable about the wines and vineyards. I would definitely recommend touring with Dave for a unique and stress free experience. We'll be making our way to the Okanagan to do the same thing with Dave over there.
