We all know that now is the time to stay local, which gives us a perfect reason to get out to explore new places in your own backyard. There are many businesses and activities open that you can safely visit with your household.
Below are some ideas to help fill your “stay local, support local” itinerary:
Southeast Kelowna is known for its rolling hills, winding country roads, open farm fields, and orchards and vineyards. Once you’re in the area, you’ll feel like you are in a completely new place, Kelowna's own hidden rural community.
Put a visit to the Myra Canyon trestles on your to-do list, along with stops at wineries, distilleries, and a meadery, where you can taste wine made of honey! If golf is of interest, a couple of popular courses are also in the area. Click here to read all about it.
Grab your kids—household or core bubble—and head down to our beautiful and vibrant downtown. Its condensed size means that you can walk, bike, longboard, or almost paddleboard, from site to site!
There are many well-known things to do downtown, and all of them are worth a repeat visit. Don’t miss the gardens, green spaces, and hiking trails, then hit a restaurant or brewery patio and enjoy the Okanagan sunshine.
