5.00Nicole and I had an incredible time on Taste of Kelowna Food Tour! Every stop was thoughtfully chosen; the food was amazing, and the drinks were even better. Our tour guide, Andrew, was extremely knowledgeable and added so much insight and local flavor to the experience. We were especially impressed that each venue had a table ready and waiting for us the moment we arrived. Such great organization and attention to detail. We couldn’t recommend this tour enough! Whether you’re visiting Kelowna or live nearby, this is a must-do experience for anyone who loves great food, drinks, and fun.
Excellent Food Tour

5.00We did the food tour with Andrew in late October. Even though the weather didn’t fully cooperate, Andrew kept us entertained with tons of information about Kelowna and the surrounding area. The food stops were varied and every place we went the staff were waiting for us with our food and drink samples. We had lots to eat and drink, all delicious. We left the tour with a new understanding about the culture, food, sustainability, inclusion and progressiveness of the community. This food tour checked all the boxes!!

5.00Fantastic tour with Andrew! Knowledgeable and obviously a popular supporter of the Kelowna business community. Our food and beverage stops along the way were varied and scrumptious - as other reviewers have said, you won’t leave hungry! We went back to two of the stops during our stay! Thanks for a great tour!

5.00Would absolutely recommend this tour. It turned out only to be my wife and I, but Andrew was happy to take us on the tour. You 100% get your money’s worth, lots of food and drink samples, all of which were delicious. You can tell Andrew is passionate about the small businesses he introduces you to, and for Kelowna in general. Great personality, he does a great job with this tour.

Andrew is a great host who shared a bit of history at every place we visited as well as along the route. A great way to learn about Kelowna, support local businesses, eat/drink and get exercise!

5.00This was my very first food tour and I honestly didn’t know what to expect, but I was blown away. Andrew is the best guide I could have imagined! friendly, fun, and full of knowledge that he shares in such a clear and engaging way. He really connects with people and makes everyone feel comfortable. The food spots he chose were fantastic, such a great mix of culture, flavors, and variety. Everything was super tasty and perfectly portioned (I was a bit worried about that at first, but it was more than enough!). Overall, an amazing experience from start to finish. 100% recommend!
