While local golf courses were able to open in spite of BC's lockdown restrictions, it just wouldn't be spring in the Okanagan without a day wine touring.
Thankfully, those restrictions are slowly lifting, which means the majority of Kelowna wineries have started to reopen their doors for public wine tastings.
Because not all wineries have fully opened, and others only in a limited capacity, KelownaNow has rounded up as much information as possible to help you plan your next outing:
