Kelowna Fat-Tire E-Bike to Meadow Vista Honey Wines: Fireside Tastings & S'mores

On two wheels and a whisper of motor, the Kelowna Fat Tire E-Bike with Smokies, S’mores & Honey Wine Tastings is a four-hour ride that stitches downtown energy to the quiet of Okanagan farmland. Beginning at Lakeside Eco-Sports, 213 Bernard Avenue, Kelowna, riders mount stable fat‑tire e‑bikes and follow quiet backroads toward Meadow Vista Honey Wines, an award‑winning artisan winery set among rolling fields and beehive-lined hedgerows. The route favors backroads, farm lanes and gentle hills that reveal the valley’s glacial origins: terraces of orchard rows, open prairie grasses and the low silhouette of vineyard trellises.

This is a self-guided loop designed for riders who want motion without marathon effort. The e-bike motors smooth the climbs; fat tires tame gravel and damp shoulders in shoulder-season weather. Navigation comes through a phone app, so charge your battery, download the directions and arrive at check-in an hour early. Riders should be at least 16 years old and dressed for the season—gloves, a face scarf and a warm toque are recommended in cool months.

Guides are not necessary on this self‑guided route, but Lakeside Eco‑Sports outfits riders with helmets, a brief orientation and route notes at check‑in; their downtown storefront is a useful staging point for gear. Expect stretches of compacted gravel, short farm driveways and easy tarmac, with gentle grades instead of long climbs. That blend of local hospitality, simple logistics and a fireside finish at Meadow Vista makes the outing especially memorable and cozy.

Arriving at Meadow Vista, the mood shifts from pedaling to firelight. Gather at outdoor fire pits to sample honey wines and listen to the low thrum of hives nearby. Hosts pair sticky, floral honey wines with locally made smokies and a classic campfire s’more—vegetarian options are available—creating a savory-sweet finish that feels made for the valley. The contrast of crisp outdoor air and warm wine is memorable, and the winery’s rural setting gives the tasting a quietly authentic character you won’t find in downtown tasting rooms.

Practical details are simple: the experience lasts about four hours, is self-guided, and includes fireside snacks and honey wine tastings. It’s ideal as a winter or shoulder-season outing when crowds thin and the countryside takes on a more intimate pace. For photographers, the ride offers low-angle light across orchard rows and the warm glow of fire pits at dusk. For small groups it’s a social but active way to connect with Kelowna’s agricultural backbone—apple orchards, apiaries and boutique wineries that define the region’s outdoor recreation.

Whether you arrive for the wine, the unique pairing of e-bike and campfire, or the easy access from downtown Kelowna, this trip delivers a compact, flavorful slice of Okanagan life that’s equal parts motion and comfort.
