Spend a sunlit day tasting Kelowna wines and craft beverages, then cap it with a two-hour captained pontoon cruise on Okanagan Lake. This mixed land-and-water tour pairs three tasting venues with a luxury boat finish — ideal for relaxed groups and first-time visitors.

The pontoon eases away from the dock and the city’s shoreline opens like a page of quicksilver — sun on water, gulls staking claims, and the distant vineyards climbing the valley’s warm slopes. Guests move between tasting rooms and the boat, swapping tasting notes as the captain turns the bow toward open water for a two-hour cruise across Okanagan Lake.
