          Sarah and Wendy's Wonderful Adventure.
          Comfortable vehicle, our guide, Jim, was excellent, very knowledgeable and very attentive to his guests' needs. We enjoyed all the wineries, but you could replace 50th Parallel. That vineyards location and architecture were lovely, but our experience there was ruined by a very rude, dismissive and inattentive hostess. Everything else about the days tour was excellent and we would highly recommend this company and Jim as a guide.

          Fantastic birthday experience with Okanagan Wine Country Tours and Larry!
          Really enjoyed our West Kelowna wine tour yesterday. Larry was a wonderful driver-guide and made sure we had what we needed - water, snacks, pictures, etc. Can't recommend him enough and hope he enjoys his trip to Ireland & Scotland soon 🇮🇪 It was just me and my partner in the (really nice) car and we had tastings at 4 wineries, plus a surprise bonus stop thanks to Larry! Would highly recommend this personable tour option and would go with this company without a doubt if we were to return 🤗

          A day of wines
          I went on a full day winery tour. Larry was the host. He was great. He knew all about the wineries and the history of the area and knew about wines in general. Also, my tour included a lunch, which was absolutely yummy. I would highly recommend this tour. It was very reasonably priced and you got a lot for the price of the tour

          Best In The Valley
          Thank you so much for showing us such a great time. Our family was visiting from Holland and they will be talking about this experience for a very long time. Our tour guide Brian Welke was amazing. He is very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about wine and wineries. We would highly recommend Okanagan Wine Tours to everyone interested in seeing our beautiful valley. Dirk, Pattie, Claudia and Wim

          We did a tour of the vineyards in West Kelowna and it was phenomenal. Great views and delicious wine. The tour was made even better by our lovely host, Cal!

          Loved this wine tour
          Great wine tour we got lucky and it was just the 2 of us on this tour. Cal was brilliant showing us around the wineries. Went to 4 great wineries all very different but all very good with lovely wines. Such a shame the wines aren’t sold in the UK and we couldn’t take any home

          Best of West Kelowna
          From the initial communications with Marsha, to the most delightful day with Jim, our Okanagan Wine Country Tour was simply top notch. Everything was as presented, only better. This was our first trip to the Okanagan vineyards, and we wanted to gain the local knowledge, as well as understand the breadth of the wine industry in the region. Simply stated, this tour delivered all of that and more. Jim allowed us time to explore, provided a very high level of knowledge of the vineyards, wines, and shared the fascinating history of this wonderful valley. We were properly escorted in every situation, presented with exemplary wines in our tastings, introduced to some wonderful folks at each vineyard, learning as we went. As noted, this was our first trip to the valley, however we are already planning our trip for next year, and be assured that Okanagan Wine Country Tours will be our sole tour provider. Just a fantastic experience, thank you Jim and thank you Marsha! Cheers!

          The Best of West Kelowna Tour
          My husband and I have nothing but great things to say about our wine tour with Jim at Okanagan Wine Country Tours. The car was very comfortable, Jim was great at answering our questions, being available when needed, and keeping us on track. At the same time we had our own time and space to enjoy each stop. Everything was very smooth and organized. We chose this tour because it guaranteed all the big west Kelowna wineries, which was hard to find with other companies. Would very highly recommend.

          Book it - you won't regret it!
          We had an amazing time on this tour! We did the 6-hour Best of West Kelowna tour, and had such a great experience! Brian was our tour guide - he confirmed pick up location the day before, arrived early, and took great care of us at each place. Brian was very knowledgeable about the Kelowna wine scene, many times he knew just as much about the vineyards and wines as the sommeliers at the places! He held onto all of our wine purchases, gave us water, always helped us in and out of the van. I even left my umbrella in the van and he contacted me and came back to drop it off with me after he had gone home! I cannot recommend this tour and this company enough!

          Naramata Bench Tasting Day
          We had the best day touring wineries in the Naramata Bench with our excellent guide, Roy Jones. He was on time, knowledgable and a pleasant guide. All the tastings were enjoyable. Thank you, Roy for a most enjoyable day!

          It was simply the best day, full of fun, knowledge, and tastings.
          We wanted to do Naramatta wine tour haven driven through the area previously and saw how many wineries there were. We called Marsha at Okanagan Wine Tours and asked her a few things and discussed with her what we were hoping to do, so left it upto her to decide which of the wineries included things we had discussed. She did a marvellous job choosing wineries, putting together a tour for us and also chose a place to stop along the way for lunch. Roy, who was our host/driver was great!!.. He was very knowledgeable, fun, helpful and had gifts for us along the way and was gave us the best tour and the best day. Would definitely recommend Okanagan Wine Tours to anyone looking to do a tour in the Okanagan!

          Super wine tour!!
          We were greeted by Larry, our tour guide. Larry is very knowledgeable of all the winery's we visited. During the travel time between winery s Larry shared great information of the area. I highly recommend using this company for a great experience and an enjoyable wine tour. If possible request Larry to be your guide. Dana

          It was a wonderful experience! The scenery and views were amazing. The wineries were beautiful and the people doing the wine tastings were friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide Larry was a gem! He treated us so well, took our pictures. He even brought along snacks. I would recommend this tour and Larry!

        Absolutely fabulous! Jim was a great tour guide. He was funny, accommodating and personable. And most of all he was a great photographer. He also squeezed in an extra stop along the way. He was knowledgeable and was a pleasure to spend the day with. We will request him for all future tours.

        Our first journey to wine country had my partner and I feeling eager, curious and ready to expand our palates. Being our first wine tour ever and not having much previous experience with wine in general, we had no idea what to expect. Turns out it didn't matter because any possible expectations were completely and utterly blown out of the water. Bob was our guide and after calmly going through all the new protocols and getting us settled into our seats, he proceeded to give us the most wonderful tour we could have imagined. The wineries picked for our 6 hour adventure were perfectly chosen and unique, presenting us with a wide array of what the beautiful Naramata Bench has to offer. Not to mention being well spaced from eachother so the delicious vino didn't go to our heads too quickly. Along the way, Bob shared some very helpful tips about wine tasting and answered all our questions in a well spoken and informative manner. He stayed with us through each tasting experience and was a pleasure to have around. A magnificent vegetarian charcuterie lunch was arranged for us at Origin and we were so grateful for the extra effort put in to accommodate our dietary preferences. Over all it was one of the best parts of our trip and we would definitely recommend Okanagan wine country tours to anyone and everyone! Thank you!

        Bob picked us up promptly at our house (we were all from Kelowna). First time for a Kelowna wine tour. I was quite excited as this was a bucket list.

        Bob was amazing, knowledgeable, fun, patient- just a great person to tour a lively group of people.

        I didnt know alot of Naramata wines but assumed I would love them. We all were a bit disappointed in the selection of the 5 wineries. There were 2 out of the 5 we would return too.

        I would just do some research before hand, and tell them which wineries you would like to visit and Im sure they would accommodate as they were very pleasant to book with.

        Now that I have done some research- here are a few of my recommendations. Serendipity, Elephant Island, Therapy, Daydreamer, Mocojo, Joie Farm, Lake Breeze, Lang, Hillside (unfortunately we did not taste any).

        We had lunch at Poplar Grove. I enjoyed their wine. The lunch selection was minimal perhaps because of Covid.

        And with Covid, we never felt compromised. We wore masks in the van. The tastings were quite empty so crowds were never an issue so we all felt safe.

        Overall, it was super fun and Bob was great. We just wished enjoyed the wines a bit more :( But the scenery is incredible at all the estates!!!

        Thank you so much for your review. We put a lot of thought into the wineries we visit, and always ask if there are any 'must see' stops on your list. Most often we hit the right ones, but everyones taste is unique. Bob is amazing and always a fabulous host - I know he had a ton of fun with your group! Cheers, Marsha

        Jim was our driver and guide. He was an excellent and knowledgeable guide, as well as being good company. We went to a variety of vineyards including some off the beaten track, as well as more well known wineries. We had a lot of fun and tasted a variety of great wines. The sign of a good wine tour is when you discover a wine that you never thought you would have liked and this was certainly the case with Jim. The other folk on the tour were great company too, which all added to our day. We would recommend this form without hesitation.

        We had an outstanding day touring the Naramata Vineyards. Jim our tour guide and host was outstanding - Very attentive and knowledgeable but low key and relaxed making for a very enjoyable journey. He went out of his way to make our day special. He was extremely flexible with timings as well as suggesting a number of great wineries from the large to the small family run business. We were very fortunate to take our tour in the "shoulder season" and during a weekday which meant less crowds and an opportunity to ask questions and learn a lot more about wine and the wine making process. This also allowed us to take our time. Lunch at the Vanilla Pod was excellent and the view stunning. Although we did have a favourite winery, we would be remiss in naming it as they all were of exceptional quality and service. We would highly recommend this tour - well worth the money!!

We had an amazing day tasting wines and meeting new friends on our tour. I highly recommend booking with this company. Can't wait to come back and do it again when all my new wine purchases are finished!!

        Me and my girlfriend spent the Canada day weekend in Kelowna. This was our first time visiting and we could not have had a better trip. The best part was when we had our wine tour (booked through okwinetours.com). Mary Ellen was our tour guide and made the tour fantastic. She was very knowledgeable, patient, and very funny. We had a great time going from winery to winery, however, it was Mary Ellen that made the trip so special. We would both highly recommend her services again.

        Along with my parents and a few good friends, we had a wonderful day touring Naramata vineyards yesterday. Had a great lunch at Vanilla Pod and enjoyed many wineries that I’d never been to along the bench. Special shout-out to our driver, John, who went out of his way to pick us up and drop us off in various places, add to the good company of the day, and even go back and retrieve a bottle I had bought that had accidentally been taken by another guest upon drop off. Book this tour - it’s awesome!
