West Kelowna

Rural sophistication. An extinct volcano. Award winning wineries. Miles of hiking trails. West Kelowna & Westbank is a great place to be. Those who live there know it, as do the many visitors who come back each year. It’s a lifestyle destination that is recognized for its pleasant mix of rural charm and urban sophistication. These two communities are commonly referred to as ‘the Westside’ as they convene on the west shores of the ever picturesque Lake Okanagan. The remarkable scenery, abundance of nature and wineries, coupled with all the amenities one would expect from a charming wine region make this an ideal place to visit.

Foodies can experience culinary delights at vineyard or lakeside restaurants that feature local ingredients, art lovers can spend the day touring art studios, while history buffs can explore the historic Gellatly Nut Farm. Nature enthusiasts will love the Westside as several hotels and resorts have trailheads within 100 feet of their doorstep. These trails can lead you down a canyon, over a bridge, or to a waterfall. Travellers can also hike along Mt. Boucherie, which is an extinct volcano that offers stunning views of the shimmering lake and tranquil vineyards that rest at its base.

West Kelowna & Westbank is centrally located. The Kelowna International Airport a mere 20 minutes away, with convenient access from Vancouver by Highway.

With so much to do, a relaxed atmosphere, no traffic jams and warm hospitality, one is sure to return home their visit blissfully rested and refreshed.
