Is Summer Too Busy for a Kelowna Wine Tour?

Summer is the busiest time of year for Kelowna wine tours, but that doesn’t mean you should avoid it.

July and August are popular because the weather is warm, the vineyards look spectacular and wineries are operating at their busiest. The important thing is to plan ahead.

Book your wine tour or winery tasting appointments in advance rather than expecting to visit popular wineries without reservations. Allow enough time between tastings and don’t create an itinerary that depends on everything running perfectly on schedule.

It’s also important to allow enough time at each winery. Tastings can take longer during busy periods, so building a little flexibility into your schedule can make the day much more enjoyable. Learn more about how much time you need at a winery when planning your itinerary.

A guided wine tour can make summer travel easier because the tour operator handles the route, winery appointments, driving and parking. The timing of the tour can also make a difference, and an afternoon wine tour can be a better choice than trying to fit everything into a rushed half-day schedule.

Summer is busy, but with a properly planned itinerary, it can also be one of the best times to experience Kelowna wine country.
