XP - Kelowna, BC anyone?

[trafficgirl]

H and I are taking a trip to Kelowna in July. There are a ton of wineries and I'd love to hear from somebody on favorites to try or where to avoid. Or any other tips.

bania - you're in BC, right? I know there's others and I am struggling to remember names.

I'm like 40 minutes out of kelowna!

Mission hill winery is a big yes. H and I had our anniversary dinner there last year and it was amazing.

Gray monk is always good. I haven't been there personally, but I like the wine.

I used to live like 2 minutes away from intrigue winery in Lake Country and I loved their wine. It's a newer winery, but surprisingly good.

What GOAB said. Yes I am but I don't know a lot about the wineries.

Que?

Where in Kelowna are you staying?

I second Mission Hill, and Gray Monk.

Depending on how far you want to travel/how many wineries you want to see there are lots of different routes to take.

Kelowna is an amazing place to visit but I maybe a little biased on that.

I'm looking at some VRBO places in West Kelowna, just over the bridge. There are quite a few nice places for quite a bit cheaper than the nice hotels. 

Thanks for the feedback everyone!  Mission Hill and Gray Monk were two places we really wanted to visit, and I think we'll do our nice wine dinner at Mission Hill too. And maybe another one somewhere else if we can afford it.

I was going to suggest staying in West Kelowna instead because it's cheaper.

If you have any other questions let me know.

Quail's Gate Winery is in West Kelowna and it has a really good restaurant. Their white Chasselas is my favourite wine.

I agree with the Mission Hill and Grey Monk recs as well. If you have time, head south to Oliver/Osoyoos, and Naramata. There are a bunch of really great smaller wineries that offer tours and tastings.
