Kelowna & Penticton Travel Guide

July 11, 2020
-
Posted by Lauren Rodych-Eberle

Kelowna…Penticton…Wine! Need I say more?! But in truth, last time I was in both those places, I was pregnant and didn’t have a sip of vino and still had a fabulous time, so regardless if you are a wine-o or not, there’s so much to explore.

Activities

Kelowna

  • Accommodations: I think it’s best to stay downtown or along the waterfront, to have easy walking access to everything. [Resort Accommodations on Bernard St. is good for rentals]
  • Transportation: There is no Uber there, so if you’re not renting a car or using your own, you will need to use Taxis. There is a service called Current Taxi that picks you up in a Tesla, if that appeals to you!
  • BNA Brewery – you can eat, bowl, play bocce, drink beer…if you’re going to bowl, book it ahead of time!
  • Liquid Zoo – if you are going to Kelowna for a bachelor or bachelorette party, it’s kind of the only place to dance and see some dancers…
  • Book a wine tour with Elite Mile Wine Tours – some stop suggestions…Mission Hill (not my favourite wine, but a gorgeous place to tour), the hatch (has a unique brewery feel, and super casual!), Quail’s Gate (my fav, and a great place to stop for lunch too), Sandhill (just a building to drink wine and not a vineyard). Others: Summerhill Pyramid & Meadow Vista Honey Wines
  • Have a beach day in Downtown Kelowna and walk the waterfront 
  • Wander along Bernard Ave 

Other things that I didn’t get a chance to do, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • Kelowna Farmers’ Market & Crafters’ Market – Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, various things going on!
  • Kelowna Mountain Suspension Bridges – an expensive endeavour, but you go for the views!
  • Knox Mountain – nice, easy nature walk (hike) right near downtown
  • Boyce-Gyro Beach – A short drive from downtown, where you can enjoy the beach, play beach sports, rent water sport equipment, and be close to other restaurants
  • Scandia Golf & Games –  For mini golf 

Penticton

  • Accommodations: Penticton Lakeside Resort is right on the water and has good restaurants, and the best bar in town (The Barking Parrot). They have an old and a new building, if that makes a difference to you!
  • Hike (nature walk) the KVR Trails – they are not intense at all, and you get such beautiful views! See the Little Tunnel, if you can
  • Wine Tours / Orchard Tours!

Now to the Food…

Restaurants Kelowna
*In the summer (with groups, at least), you will likely want to book dinner reservations, or you will be waiting quite a long time*

  • Cactus Club Yacht Club – gorgeous view and food that can appeal to all taste buds
  • BNA Brewery – like I said above, you go there for all the entertainment, but the food is good too and you can book dinner ahead of time
  • Earls on Top – Earls with a rooftop patio overlooking the water
  • Any of the wineries!
  • Bean Scene – coffee shop with lots of intolerance-friendly options

Other Restaurants that I didn’t get a chance to try, but were recommended and/or researched:

  • Jack’s – great, little pub 
  • Bliss Bakery – for baked goods & coffee
  • Hotel Eldorado – wonderful food right on the water and you can walk the boardwalk after
  • Raudz – farm to table
  • Bohemian Café – for (homemade) breakfast
  • Bread Co. – a grab-and-go kind of place
  • Blue tail Sushi – good sushi
  • Latin Fiesta – inexpensive and yummy Mexican
  • D- Dutchmen Dairy – located in Sicamouse off the highway, on the way to Kelowna. Ice cream! 
  • Frankie We Salute You – Vegetarian

Restaurants Penticton

  • You could go to wineries forever and a day – we only were able to experience Hillside, but it was beautiful and we had a lovely meal there!
  • The Bench Market – great little cafe and lunch spot

Enjoy the sunshine, the water, and the vibes!

My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the worl My Beginner Piano eCourse is fully out in the world!!

As of yesterday, the full course is released, and this wave of relief just washed over me!! The amount of time, energy, and resources that goes into these courses is more than I would have ever known, but I’m so happy, and grateful to have them available to people for a lifetime, and also to have a way to continue to offer music to many more people, in many more homes, for unlimited time!!

Tomorrow I’ll release a blog that will answer all the top questions I’ve been asked about my Preschool Music eCourse and my Beginner Piano eCourse, so you can see if they are a fit for you or anyone you know!!

But now, tell me a goal you’re dreaming up - work-related or not!!

I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it I’m overdue for 5 Fun Facts, so let’s pair it with these five fun photos!

1. I didn’t like anything grapefruit before I had Collins, and now I’m always like, “Give me all the grapefruit sparkling water!”

2. I’ve always had multiple jobs from the time I was a teenager…I sum it up to me thinking that variety is the spice of life. 

3. I believe ketchup and mustard belong on breakfast egg sandwiches. 

4. If you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would have said “a mom!” I still think it’s the greatest gift in the whole entire world. 

5. Even though I said variety is the spice of life, I am wildly good with repetition for an incredible amount of time…the same food, the same song, the same walk…I don’t know if it’s patience or just insanity, but I don’t get sick of the same thing over and over and over and over and over again. 

Give me a fun fact about you!!
