Sleeping Inside a Postcard: 2 Must-Visit Wineries in Kelowna 🥂

💡 Blood-and-Tears Advice ⚠️ Bring 3 bottles of sunscreen! The lakeside UV rays are no joke. I wore full HOII sun protection but exposed my hands to take photos for the kids—and my long-dormant sun allergy came back with a vengeance. The air may be clean, but the sunlight here is brutal. ⚠️ Book winery visits in advance! Walking in during peak season will leave you in tears. Here are two wineries you absolutely can’t miss in Kelowna: 1️⃣ Mission Hill Family Estate Winery My personal favorite and the most iconic winery in the region. The architecture is grand and photogenic, exuding luxury. Must-do: The cellar wine tasting (book 1-2 weeks ahead—we only managed to snag a spot at the gift shop bar). Gift shop: Surprisingly great—their glassware and tableware are gorgeous 2️⃣ Summerhill Pyramid Winery A must-visit landmark, famous for its floating wine bottle sculpture that overlooks Okanagan Lake. 📍 Location: Kelowna, BC, Canada 🚗 Getting there: From Vancouver: 4-hour drive From Toronto: 2.5-hour direct flight Why These Wineries? ✅ Mission Hill = Luxury & prestige (best for architecture lovers) ✅ Summerhill = Iconic views (that floating bottle is the shot) ✅ Both offer unique tasting experiences—but book ahead! #CanadianWine #KelownaWineries #LuxuryTravel #HiddenGems #WineLovers
