Father's Day Feast at Meadow Vista Honey Wines — Mead Tasting & Farm Lunch in Kelowna

On a bright June weekend in Kelowna, Meadow Vista Honey Wines opens its patio for a Father's Day Feast that feels like a relaxed farm celebration where guided mead tasting, a hearty farm lunch, and lawn games come together under covered seating beside visible apiary boxes and a gazebo. Located in Kelowna, British Columbia, within the Okanagan Valley, this compact 1.5-hour experience runs June nineteenth through twenty-first and introduces visitors to Pictish Beast Braggot, award-winning meads, and a choice of a grilled ribeye sandwich, turkey panini, or stacked vegetarian panini served with house pickles and fresh signature potato salad. Each ticket includes a guided tasting or local mocktail plus a bottled Pictish Beast Braggot or a glass selection from the mead list, and guests are welcome to arrive within thirty minutes of their reservation with no strict time limit so families and groups can linger and relax. What sets Meadow Vista apart is the working apiary where the honey that flavors the mead is tended site, and the self-guided bee tour with tasting commentary explains hive care, seasonal nectar sources, and how small-scale beekeeping influences aroma, textures, and the floral profile of each braggot or mead served. The broader Okanagan landscape matters here because sun-warmed orchards, dry summers, and nearby Okanagan Lake help define the valley’s floral calendar; those seasonal blossoms show up in the honey, which gives the meads varietal character that differs from grape-focused vineyards and encourages visitors to compare terroir expressed through honey production. Practicalities are simple: check in at the Wine Shop on arrival, bring two pieces of ID if you appear under thirty-five because law requires attendees be nineteen for alcohol service, notify the host about dietary restrictions when booking, and note that covered seating protects against light rain and comfortable shoes. This outing suits people in generally good health who can stand for tasting, walk short dirt paths around the farm, and carry a light bottle; it is not technical—no climbing or watercraft skills required—but guests should expect uneven turf, occasional bee activity near hives, and simple rustic washroom facilities onsite. Photographers will find strong close-up opportunities—bee frames, dripping comb, poured amber braggot—and wider compositions from the patio looking toward the hive rows and lawn; aim for golden hour or late morning for warm light, use a macro lens for pollinator details, and get candid group shots while people play bocce. Book through the Meadow Vista reservation link to pick a time slot that fits your schedule, consider adding a Kelowna tasting tour for broader context, and treat this Father's Day package as an antidote to overly formal tastings—a friendly farm visit that highlights bees and local flavor and summer afternoons.
