We craft our tours with a deep understanding of how the shifting seasons can influence the wine-making process and ultimately the wine-tasting experience. Spring tours capture the essence of renewal with delicate floral notes, while the vibrant energy of summer offers sunlit days filled with lush greenery. Autumn surrounds you with spectacular hues and the excitement of the harvest, and winter invites you into an intimate ambience of aged wines and serene snow-draped vineyards. Join us as we unveil the best seasonal experiences Kelowna’s wine country has to offer, making each visit unforgettable.

Spring into the Vineyards: Fresh Beginnings and Floral Notes

Spring in the Okanagan Valley is a time of renewal and the perfect season to experience the vibrancy of the vineyards. As the snow melts and the first buds begin to appear, the landscape transforms into a canvas of green, dotted with the whites and pinks of blossoming flowers. During our spring wine tours, we invite you to enjoy the crisp air and the fresh aromas that forecast the coming of new vintages. This time of year is ideal for tasting the light and aromatic white wines that reflect the freshness of the season. We guide you through vineyards waking up from winter's rest, sharing insights into how the delicate balance of Okanagan's unique climate and soil contributes to the distinctive flavors in your glass.

Summer Heat and Cool Retreats: Exploring Peak Vineyard Season

Summer brings the heat to Kelowna, and with it, the vineyards reach their peak activity. The long, sunny days are crucial for ripening grapes, making this the best time to explore the bold flavors of heartier reds and full-bodied whites. Our summer wine tours are designed not only to explore the sunny expanses of our vineyards but also to offer cool retreats where you can relax and enjoy the fruits of the vine. We venture into wineries that feature cellar tours, where the naturally cool underground provides a refreshing contrast to the summer heat outside. During these tours, we focus on the production process, from vine to bottle, explaining how the intense summer sun enhances the sugars and flavors in the grapes, leading to richer, more robust wines.

Autumn Hues and Harvest Views: The Best Time for Wine Enthusiasts

Autumn in the Okanagan is a spectacle for the senses, a season festooned with fiery hues and the busiest time in our vineyards. This is when grapes reach their peak maturity, and the air buzzes with the excitement of harvest. We organize tours that allow you to dive into the heart of this bustling activity. You can walk alongside our experienced vintners during harvest, experiencing the old-world charm of hand-picking grapes and the modern precision of our viniculture techniques. It's a perfect time for wine enthusiasts to deepen their understanding of the winemaking process as they witness the transformation from grape to bottle. The cooler temperatures and the aroma of fermenting grapes create an unforgettable atmosphere, blending perfectly with tastings of our most robust reds and complex whites that echo the rustic earthiness of the season.

Winter Wonders: Cozy Cellars and Exclusive Tastings

Winter brings a quieter charm to the Okanagan, with vineyards resting under a blanket of snow and cellar doors thrown open to reveal their hidden gems. During this serene season, we offer exclusive tastings in our cellars where the focus shifts to the subtler aspects of wine aging and flavor maturation. These sessions provide a cozy respite from the chilly outdoors, where you can savor the depth of vintages past and discover how colder temperatures influence the bouquet and body of your favorite wines. Our winter tours are intimate, giving you a more personal interaction with our wine experts who are eager to share their knowledge and stories behind each bottle. This season's unique tranquility makes it ideal for those seeking a reflective and thoroughly enriching wine experience.

As the seasons change, so does the experience we offer, ensuring that every visit to our vineyards and every sip of our wines remains a unique journey. Whether basking in the spring sun, enjoying the lively summer, participating in the autumn harvest, or cozying up in our winter cellars, our tours are crafted to showcase the best of what the Okanagan has to offer.
