Westside Wine Trail - the Okanagan's Newest Wine Trail

There is a new wine trail in the Okanagan and it is called the Westside Wine Trail. Situated in West Kelowna, this wine trail is home to some of the most accomplished winemakers in the Okanagan Valley. With nine distinct wineries to explore, oenophiles are sure to find a new favourite wine to enjoy.

All nine wineries just within minutes of each other, with some even being close enough to walk to each one. The wineries range from the large and grand to the small and quaint. The Westside Wine Trail is home to well known wineries such as Mission Hill and Quails’ Gate as well as to several which focus on organic practices such as Rollingdale, Kalala, Beaumont and Meadow Vista. It is along this trail where one can find multi-generations working at the winery and these include Mt. Boucherie, Volcanic Hills and Little Straw Vineyards.

The Westside Wine Trail offers a pleasant and scenic drive through gentle rural roads that showcase spectacular lake views and vistas. Not to be missed along the trail are roadside fruit stands, artisan studios and hiking trails.
