Kelowna, BC
Kelowna, BC
Canada’s Wine Country
Laid Back Beach Vibes with Sophistication
Kelowna is a city on Okanagan Lake in the Okanagan Valley in the southern interior of British Columbia, Canada. It is the perfect example of a big little city. The epitome of Big City Energy but Small Town vibes.
Kelowna has it’s fair share of seasonal wildfires, that’s for sure and they are no joke. But aside from a smoky day here and there, Kelowna’s climate is classified as Inland Oceanic climate…which means the winters are snowy but mild and the summers are epic. Paving the way for Kelowna and the surrounding areas, known as the Okanagan, are a breeding ground for grapes making it a wine making mecca.
In summer, boating, golf, hiking and biking are all endless possibilities, and in winter, both anything in the snow is at your fingertips in the nearby ski resorts, Big White and Silver Star. Tourism in the Greater Kelowna Area is over a $1-billion a year industry.

Is Summer Baked Right into the Name?
If Summer is baked right into the name, does that mean is always summer in Summerland? Summerland is without a doubt a four seasons playground.

FleuRiching in the Okanagan
It was fated from the beginning for me to find my way to this workshop. We should all strive to have a little Nature Therapy in our lives any way we can get it. Thank you @fleurichcreations
It Was a Robbery
When you are enjoying the Kettle Valley Train with spectacular vistas of Summerland Lush Orchards only to be involved in a Gang heist pulling back into the station. buwahaha, It was staged and for charity, but it was sure entertaining. @kettlevalleysteamrailway
Becoming a Sommelier
Learning from the masters is a great way to learn no? I took the WSET Level 1 Sommelier course offered in Kelowna by Fine Vintage Ltd. and I am officially now certified. It’s only Level 1, but it counts. @finevintagewine @finevintageltd

Cedar Creek Estate Winery
With spectacular views of Lake Okanagan, this winery is nestled into a steep hill surrounded by Home Block Vineyard and Restaurant. It was the perfect place to take my girlfriends for lunch when they were visiting me in Kelowna. @CedarCreekWine
Blind Wine Tasting
Blind Wine Tasting? What kind of wine is this? (Me) It’s Red…no wait it’s White. Followed by homemade cream puffs that I intensely felt. They tasted like hopes and dream.Ā buwahahahahahah @arrowleafcellars
You want some Cheese with that Wine? buwahaha
Food Porn coming at you. Walking away from a class with food is the best thing ever. Building a charcuterie board is NOT just about throwing a bunch of stuff on a board. Believe it not there is strategy to the placement, the height, the edging. It was a lot of fun and I would totally take this class again.Ā Now you Know! @tjsgrazing @sperlingvineyards
