Royal Anne Hotel Guests: Historic Boutique Charm & Wine Country Gateway with Red Dog
The Royal Anne Hotel
Staying at The Royal Anne Hotel? Experience downtown Kelowna hospitality while discovering Okanagan wine country with Red Dog Wine Tours. Located at 348 Bernard Avenue in the heart of downtown Kelowna, this historic boutique hotel puts you close to Okanagan Lake, City Park, shops, restaurants, cafés and the waterfront. With complimentary breakfast, free WiFi and parking, a fitness centre, guest laundry and a comfortable lounge, it is a convenient base for exploring Kelowna without a car.
Why Red Dog Wine Tours Pairs Perfectly with a Royal Anne Hotel Stay
Red Dog Wine Tours takes the hassle out of visiting Kelowna’s wine country. Our relaxed afternoon wine tour visits four wineries on the West Kelowna wine route, with tasting fees, light snacks, bottled water, local guiding and transportation included. We pick you up directly at the Royal Anne Hotel, so there is no need to rent a car, navigate unfamiliar roads or worry about driving after wine tasting.
Our Mercedes Sprinter and Metris passenger vans provide comfortable transportation for small groups and larger parties. Afternoon pickups generally take place between 1:00 and 1:30 PM, with the tour returning to Kelowna around 5:30 PM. That leaves your evening free to enjoy downtown restaurants, the waterfront or the Royal Anne’s comfortable lounge.
Our Westside Wine Route takes you across the bridge from downtown Kelowna into the vineyards and wineries of West Kelowna.
Wineries You’ll Experience on Our West Kelowna Route
We visit four wineries on each tour and vary the lineup, giving guests a mix of established wineries, scenic properties and smaller local producers. Possible stops include:
- Quails’ Gate Winery: An established West Kelowna estate known for beautiful lake and vineyard views and a long history of Okanagan winemaking.
- Mt. Boucherie Estate Winery: A striking property showcasing wines influenced by the region’s volcanic soils.
- Frind Estate Winery: A lakeside winery offering a relaxed setting and contemporary wine-country experience.
- Little Straw Vineyards: A smaller family winery with impressive elevated views across the valley.
- Volcanic Hills Estate Winery: A West Kelowna winery highlighting wines grown in the area’s distinctive volcanic terroir.
- The Hatch Winery: A creative and relaxed winery known for its distinctive personality and wines.
- Black Swift Vineyards: A boutique winery focused on small-lot wines and the character of the Okanagan.
- Crown & Thieves Winery: An atmospheric winery with an eclectic, prohibition-era-inspired style.
Because winery availability can change, your exact four stops are confirmed as part of the tour itinerary. The goal is a relaxed afternoon with four quality tasting experiences rather than trying to squeeze too many wineries into one day.
