Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort

Experience an unforgettable wine-tasting journey in British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley with Red Dog Wine Tours, starting from the luxurious Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort. Located on the shores of Okanagan Lake in downtown Kelowna, the Delta Grand is an ideal base for exploring the region’s wineries without worrying about driving after your tastings.

Why Choose Red Dog Wine Tours from the Delta Grand?

The Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort is one of the most convenient places in Kelowna to begin a wine tour. Rather than renting a car or arranging transportation to a meeting point, Red Dog Wine Tours picks you up directly from your hotel and returns you after your wine-country experience.

Our West Kelowna Afternoon Wine Tour is our most popular public wine tour. It is a relaxed four-hour experience visiting four wineries along the Westside Wine Trail, with tasting fees, transportation, bottled water and light snacks included.

Red Dog Wine Tours has also received Viator Experience Awards and has earned hundreds of excellent guest reviews. For guests staying at the Delta Grand, the combination of convenient hotel pickup, a small-group experience and a carefully planned winery route makes it an easy way to experience Kelowna wine country.

Explore the West Kelowna Wine Route

From the Delta Grand, one of the most popular wine-country excursions is across Okanagan Lake to West Kelowna. The Westside Wine Trail combines spectacular lake and mountain scenery with a concentration of wineries that makes it particularly well suited to a half-day wine tour.

Our West Kelowna Afternoon Wine Tour visits four wineries from a rotating selection of local estates. The exact wineries can vary, but possible stops include:

• Quails’ Gate Winery – A long-established estate with beautiful views over Okanagan Lake.
• Frind Estate Winery – A waterfront winery with a distinctive setting and modern tasting experience.
• Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery – Located among the volcanic slopes of Mount Boucherie.
• The Hatch Winery – A colourful and unconventional winery known for its distinctive personality.
• Black Swift Vineyards – A boutique winery producing small-lot, terroir-focused wines.
• Little Straw Vineyards – A family-run winery with a relaxed atmosphere and scenic setting.
• Volcanic Hills Estate Winery – Known for its wines, views and convenient location along the Westside Wine Trail.
• Crown & Thieves Winery – A Prohibition-themed winery with a memorable tasting-room experience.

What Is Included in the Wine Tour?

Red Dog Wine Tours takes care of the transportation and planning so you can concentrate on enjoying the wineries. Our tours include transportation in a comfortable Mercedes passenger van, pre-arranged tasting fees, bottled water, light snacks and knowledgeable commentary from your guide.

Pickup from the Delta Hotels Grand Okanagan Resort is normally between 1:00 PM and 1:30 PM for our afternoon tours. The tour then heads into wine country, with the first winery tasting beginning at approximately 1:30 PM.

Because you are being picked up and returned to your hotel, there is no need to designate a driver or worry about navigating between wineries. If you are wondering about the cost, you can see our current wine tour prices before booking.

A Convenient Alternative to Driving Yourself

Guests staying at the Delta Grand sometimes consider renting a car and visiting the wineries themselves. A self-guided wine tour can certainly be an option, but there is a significant advantage to having a professional driver and guide handle the route.

With a guided tour, everyone in your group can taste the wines rather than having one person remain the designated driver. You also don’t have to worry about winery reservations, navigating unfamiliar roads or deciding which wineries to visit.

If you are considering doing it yourself, our guide to planning a self-guided wine tour in Kelowna explains some of the things you should consider.

Private Wine Tours from the Delta Grand

Staying at the Delta Grand with a couple, family or group of friends and looking for something more personalized? Our private wine tours offer a more flexible alternative to a public tour.

Private tours can be particularly appealing for smaller groups that want more control over the wineries they visit, the pace of the day and the overall experience. You can also use our Private Wine Tour Planner to start thinking about the type of wine-country experience you would like to create.
