September 15, 2021 Oliva Fomby

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.

Cheers does an exceptional job providing quality service during these challenging times. They provided a sweet driver who was respectful and understanding of our group. I did my first wine tour ever, and Cheers Okanagan Tours made it a wonderful experience. Overall I would highly recommend this company to anyone wanting to have a fun and safe time during these pandemic restrictions.

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.

I had to travel from Vancouver to Kelowna to receive some specialized cancer treatment and my wife accompanied me. Kelowna Concierge picked us up at the airport and delivered us to the Hyatt Place. Next morning, the limo picked me up at the hotel to go to the Cancer Centre. In the afternoon, the limo picked up my wife at the hotel and together they picked me up at the Cancer Centre. Next day, they picked us up at the hotel to go to the airport. Each time, the drivers were courteous and professional. They were always on time. The limos were clean and the drivers practiced strict safety protocols. This is especially important to me during Covid-19 and right after my cancer treatment. I highly recommend Kelowna Concierge and will use them again during my next trip to Kelowna.
