About Kelowna

Kelowna is the largest city in the Okanagan Valley with all the amenities of a major city – fine dining, unique shops and a vibrant cultural life – yet orchards and vineyards thrive within a 10-minute drive of the downtown core. Spectacular views await those ready to explore; a wonderful day can be spent sampling the award-winning and numerous internationally-acclaimed wineries, or you may wish to visit one of many championship golf courses in the area.

Situated on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake midway between Penticton in the south and Vernon in the north, Kelowna residents and tourists alike find the lake offers wonderful opportunities for boating, swimming or fishing. The nearby mountains attract hikers, skiers and outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds. There are three major ski hills within a one hour drive – Big White, Silver Star and Apex.
