Tips and Info:
This tour is available from May to October. The best way to reserve your equipment and to secure your day/time of your tour, is to book in advance. The sooner, the better.
We work closely with industry professionals who will take very good care of you on the trail and in the water.
Due to the summer season being very busy, we want to do our best to streamline the prep time, so we will have forms for you to fill out on the way to the site. When we arrive, their staff will give you a 10-15 minute tutorial to help you familiarize yourself to the equipment and safety guidelines.
Novice or expert, these activities are suited to fit every level of capability.
We have capacity for large groups, but again advance notice is best. We provide comfortable transportation in our 11 passenger Ford Transit with air conditioning.
It is important to keep hydrated during your activity and on the wine tour, so we provide cold water bottles for our guests.
If your group is larger than that, no problem. We can make arrangements to have a larger capacity vehicle accommodate your group.
Again, the sooner you can book in advance, the more efficient we can be. Do you see a theme here? 😉
We have the same cancellation policy that applies to both adventure tours and wine tours.
This is the Wine Tour Company to go with. Super friendly and knowledgeable about the wines and the wineries. Michael made everyone on the tour comfortable and we all had fun.

We had a wonderful time. Our guide, Michael Metcalfe, knew a lot, not only about the wine, but about the history and geography of the area, which made the tour even more interesting. You cannot go wrong booking with this company.

We wanted to take our daughter and her fiancé on a wine tour before her wedding. We got to spend the day touring wineries in Lake Country with Terri. What a wonderful experience. Terri was on time, very professional and a joy to be with. She took care of everything.

Had an amazing wine tour in Kelowna, Mike was very knowledgeable and brought a very positive energy to the experience. Would absolutely come back.

Our wine tour hosted by Mike was a fantastic experience. His knowledge of the wine industry and the history of the region was extensive. Having grown up in the area, and even living on a vineyard for some years, there was still so much to learn.

Quite simply a superb day. Visiting several wineries with a small group accompanied by Nygel our guide who provided an excellent commentary and background to the history of the places we visited. Certainly a tour I would recommend to anyone.

Outstanding wine tour. Mike was able to blend stories, wine, and food experiences to ensure everyone in the tour had a perfect day. I can’t see myself using any other tour guide future. Highly recommend this company.
