This is where we meet outside to start the tour. Look for our sandwich board sign, and Andrew (tall ginger) standing out front.
We stop here to talk about some peculiar street art in Kelowna.
We walk through the stunning lakeside park and talk about its impact on Kelowna over the past 30 years.
Weekdays we go to the rooftop patio for some stunning pictures when the patio is open. April 15th-to-October 15th yearly our groups are able to see a 360 view of Downtown Kelowna.
The hidden Kasugai Gardens are named after Kelowna's sister city in Japan. Stocked with Koi, waterfalls, Japanese sculptures, and impeccable gardens! Lots to see and learn here! The park is open Mid-March to Mid-October.
Gorgeous lakeside park dedicated to a famous mayor. Here we will hear the story of the bear in Kelowna, and how our breathtaking boardwalk came to be.
Kelowna Yacht Club makes house-made Gelato for us on every tour as we sit lakeside in an award winning building, with an even better view of the lake!
A two story historic brick building is now the super unique BNA! The owner loves Northwest Canada, and The Tragically Hip. The place is full with its own brewery, 10 Pin Bowling Alley, Bocce Court, Vintage Arcade, Burger Bar, Airstream Trailer, and way more! One of our guests favourite stops!
Our hidden gem on tour! Often times we have to drag people out of this loose leaf tea house, as the aroma, vibes, and peacefulness takes over! A place you won't soon forget, and will likely be back over and over again! Like us :)
Sprout is a local family owned, & operated, Artisan Bakery. Situated inside the historic, & vibrant, Cultural District in Kelowna. Owners Pete & Ava opened the doors in August of 2018, three weeks later they were married & welcomed friends & family to celebrate in the newly finished bakery space. From there, there was no turning back! Sprout quickly grew into a community hub that brought people together ¢tered around one thing – good food & coffee. They offer a wide variety of food & baked goods! Sprout aims to showcase the incredible natural abundance of the Okanagan. While working with farmers & suppliers to bring local flavours to the community. All of the breads are made with certified organic flour. Among other health benefits, organic farming practises require thoughtful crop rotation and ensure greater bio-diversity for the land. When my guests visit they love being able to watch the bakers at work, the welcoming atmosphere, & of course the outstanding food & coffee!
A favourite stop on every tour! The stop includes wood fired pizza from an apple shaped forno oven from Naples, Italy. The Cafe is owned by Luigi Coccaro and has a hidden speakeasy and garden patio we show guests as well :)
Guests get spoiled here by Chef & Owner Izzy who has a modern take on his Mother & Grandmother's cooking straight from Mexico City! Bring your appetite, and love more fresh margaritas!
We had an awesome afternoon with Andrew who was extremely informed and led us through a wonderful walking tour of the cultural district to experience everything from the afternoon chai latte to the BNA slider and choice of beers. We three would recommend an afternoon with Andrew to everyone! Great host who has befriended all he visits. Thank you Andrew, from Carol, Debbie and Lorna
Andrew the tour guide was knowledgeable and personable. He knows Kelowna inside and out. Many great hidden gems that Andrew brought us to. This experience makes me want to take food walking tours no matter where I travel to! An awesome experience.
Walking tour was so amazing! Andrew was a great tour guide, he is local so knows area, businesses and people so well. Every stop was set up and waiting for us. And oh man the food tasting was unbelievable. The only thing I recommend is going first thing on your trip so know where to a go back to during your stay. I rate him 10/10 and highly recommend taking the tour!!
Tour guide Andrew was pleasant, well organized and made everyone welcome . We had a great time learning about downtown Kelowna and exploring local businesses.
This was an incredible experience. Andrew was so kind, personable, and knowledgeable! We learned a lot and had some amazing food and beverages. We never would have found those places on our own so it was so totally worth it. Andrew has so much knowledge of the area and history we learned so much too!! Would 1000% recommend the tour especially if you’ve never visited Kelowna before. We will absolutely be booking this tour again next time we’re in Kelowna!!
We had a great tour with Andrew, great weather, great group and lots of yummy food and local info. Recommend the tour, book early during peak season as small group size tour !
This tour was simply amazing. I’m not even sure if I can accurately express just how much fun we had, how much food & drink we consumed (a LOT!), and how much we learned about Kelowna on this tour with Andrew. It was really good value for the money. Not only did we enjoy some amazing food and visit some hidden gems, we felt like we were visiting the city with a new friend who had the singular goal of ensuring we experienced the very best of Kelowna. Definitely the highlight of our trip. And the added recommendations that Andrew shared in an email after the trip was so appreciated; we used it for dinner after the tour (and yet another score). Thank you, thank you. You are the perfect guide for a tour like this and we so appreciated your knowledge, humour and spirit. Such a fun guy to hang out with for several hours. Hope to do this again with you on a future trip to Kelowna!
This Food Tour is a "must do." We learned a lot about the city of Kelowna and had an interesting variety of food starting with tea at a tea shop onto a bakery and ended at a unique pub. The tour owner/guide was well versed with everything Okanagan Valley and also provided us with an extensive list of his favorite places and things to do in the area.
Highly recommend! We really enjoyed this experience and the opportunity to support and try local restaurants in Kelowna! Andrew was a great guide and we really appreciated that despite groups cancelling due to the wildfires, he didn’t mind giving just the two of us a “private” tour. Our only wish was that we had done the tour earlier during our stay in Kelowna (rather than our last day) so we could have gone back to some of the restaurants we tried. Thanks again! And @Andrew, we really did go for a workout afterwards!! :) Justin & John
This walking food tour is a must do experience when visiting Kelowna. We were two couples that enjoyed the tour on our first day (September 18th.) during our short 3 day stay providing a perfect introduction to Downtown Kelowna’s amazing Restaurants, Bakeries, Tea House & so many more cultural hidden gems. Thank you Andrew from Paul, Cindy, Diane and myself for making our day so special! Your enthusiasm combined with your exceptional knowledge of the area’s food and culture make this tour well worth the experience. Looking forward to our next visit!!! Make sure you bring your appetite!!!
6 of us visiting Kelowna decided to give this tour a try and we all completely enjoyed our day and experiences with Andrew. He’s a great tour guide, has tons of information and has picked some very awesome spots in Kelowna to try. All 6 agreed we would recommend this tour!!!
Wow! Andrew is truly doing something he is passionate about. Absolutely loved the places we went to. Went back a few days later to make additional purchases and also referred the tour to another group of 8 visiting Kelowna. Just wish we would have done this tour at the beginning of our stay instead of the end, so we could have gone back to at least one restaurant.
Andrew is a great guide! He knows his city and shares it with his guests with such pride. His choices of stops were great. We were definitely full after the tour and appreciated the walking part (helps with the digestion). If you can…..do this tour!
We had a great time on this tour. Andrew who was our guide and owns the business was extremely knowledgeable and so helpful with everything we needed to know about Kelowna. The food and drinks were super tasty. Make sure you come hungry!!
Fabulous experience. So much food, you will not be hungry after. Enjoyed the history and facts we leaned about Kelowna as we walked.
A must do in Kelowna. Andrew is so knowledgeable, fun and welcoming. The tour not only included some great tastes and drinks but was loaded with all kinds of cultural information about Kelowna. It is all centered in the downtown cultural area so it is very walkable and easy. The group was small , only 9 of us, so questions and conversation were possible. Highly recommend.
This walking food tour was one of the highlights of our visit to downtown Kelowna. Andrew was wonderful, leading us to hidden gem restaurants and establishments in the downtown area. We enjoyed each stop and were impressed with the food and drink at each one. Andrew gave us background info about the area and about each place that we visited. We had some good laughs along the way and would highly recommend this activity. I only wish we did this tour at the beginning of our stay rather than the end as we definitely would have gone back to a few of the places to dine. Highly recommend this one for a pleasant afternoon activity!
lovely experience! Great food and drinks! extremely knowledgable guide Andrew would recommend to all my friends
Such a great experience. Loved to have learned some history of this beautiful place from Andrew. The food was delicious. The drinks were amazing. We met people from all over. It was a truly special tour that I would highly recommend to anybody.
The guide, Andrew, is fantastic. He focuses on local eating establishments, and introduced us to places where we may not have gone. All of the food stops he chose were amazing. Most of the restaurant personal and Andrew talked to us about their menu, restaurant origin, and specialty dishes. I highly recommend this tour. Andrew even followed up with a personal email recommending fruit stands and suggestions for our road trip further into BC. Thank you Andrew!
Very informative and good background on the area. Great food experiences. Andrew was friendly and interesting. Recommend the experience highly.
Andrew was excellent! He was fun and shared interesting anecdotes about parts of the city. We’re from California, but booked for our friends who bought their Kelowna home in 2023! They learned many new things. I highly recommend Andrew’s walk!
The best curated food trip. Andrew is a gem of a guide and even my friends from the Kelowna area learned new things about their adopted city. Great food, great beverages, great stories, great history and just an overall great time. I would book without hesitation, tourists and locals alike! A must do in the Kelowna area!
It was a real pleasure to stroll through “his” city with Andrew and learn so much interesting information along the way. The culinary part was excellent as well—a great mix of different local establishments, their specialties, and their history. Highly recommended!
A highlight of our family getaway! This food tour was well organized and felt incredibly personal with each local business (7 stops!) ready to welcome our group with a variety of tasty dishes, signature drinks, and behind the scene sneak-peeks to local experiences like the BNA bowling alley! Andrew was an enthusiastic and easy-going tour guide and even though Kelowna is a place we visit often, this tour was well worth it. The experience was fun and left us very full (literally) and with a deeper appreciation of Kelowna's Cultural District, hidden local gems, and the independent food scene.
This is a brilliant tour! Andrew is a great guide and his enthusiasm for Kelowna is contagious! The food and drinks were varied, delicious and plentiful. The tour is also full of information and great fun. I would definitely recommend the tour to anyone who visits Kelowna or lives in the area.
Really loved the tour option with Andrew. He was friendly, we got a nice walk in & tasted a lot. The mix of food & drinks was great & we were all full by the end of it. Would definitely do this again.
Kelona is full of small locally owned restaurants, so helpful to have Andrew's guideance to explore the delicious offerings
Andrew and the tour were both amazing! Had a great time tasting the world of Kelowna food, guided by a passionate about the stories he tells and kind human being! 100% would recommend!
Wonderful tour top to bottom. Andrew was fun, well informed, interesting and a great guy. We enjoyed interesting and copious food and drink in the culture district. We found several venues we will want to visit again. We are from outside of Kelowna and this helped us get oriented to and learn about this wonderful city. Thanks, Andrew. Steve
I booked the Kelowna Food Tour and we absolutely loved it! Andrew was very professional, fun, and knowledgeable about Kelowna. The food selections were delicious, and we felt the tour was excellent value. We were also lucky to have beautiful weather! This was my second time doing the tour, and I’ll definitely be back again. Highly recommend! 🌟
Andrew was an amazing tour guide. He really knows his stuff and he is super kind and funny. The perfect guide. We got to walk around and try so much food!! Lots of places we actually returned to because they were so good. This is a great tour for anyone visiting because it allows you to situate yourself in the city and try new things! Very worth it.
Andrew was an amazing host and goes above and beyond on this tour. You will love it and eat alot! Thank you Andrew for everything!!!
Excellent. Guide was excellent as well. Would recommend it too others and will do it again if offered next year.
Thanks Andrew! Great tour, great food, and amazing friends to do this with. Will be back!
Bring your appetite, lots of great food and drink. Andrew was a great host lots of interesting local knowledge and all the places we went I would go back to in a heartbeat. Have done tours all over the world and this one ranks right up there
It was very informative. Wish I would have booked it earlier in my trip rather than at the end. A lot of good information about the downtown was provided. We really enjoyed it.
The best part for us is that Andrew took us to restaurants that we would never have gone to on our own. Also we appreciated the history of Kelowna that Andrew shared. Be prepared to eat a lot of tasty food and enjoy some great drinks as well!
Andrew is the best! He is engaging and fun and the tour hits some great local food and drink spots. We especially liked that at each stop, the shop had a table reserved and was ready for us. Well coordinated and organized. The walk itself is pleasant and easy. Andrew is great resource for recommending food and fun on your next trip to the Okanagan!
I would recommend this to anyone! Great food (also for our vegan daughter) and drinks, and lots of information about Kelowna. You also get an email afterwards packed with additional things to do here. Andrew is such a great guide, we absolutely enjoyed this tour!😃😍
We really enjoyed this food tour! It took us to several places we never would have discovered on our own, and every stop was delicious. Andrew was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. We loved one of the stops so much that we went back on our own the next day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!
Great way to see the town and taste food and sample drinks along the way. Andy was a fun guide very knowledgeable about history and town. If you have the time I would highly recommend.
This tour was an absolutely incredible experience that was worth every penny! My family and I wrapped up our vacation with this adventure, savoring a delicious array of foods and drinks along the way. Andrew was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable, making the entire experience even more fun and memorable. I definitely recommend doing this as your first activity when you arrive in Kelowna!
Great food tour highlighting top end unique eateries. Highly interactive host with a wealth of food and historical knowledge on the city! Great fun and off the beaten path - highly recommended!!
Andrew was a fantastic host and tour guide! I’ve lived in Kelowna almost 20 years and learned lots and discovered new spots. Great value for the amount of food and drinks you get - plus reserved tables at popular spots. Highly recommend for locals or visitors!
Andrew is a charismatic host, passionate about sharing some of the best food spots Kelowna has to offer. The stops were lovely and the food delicious and diverse. You also got a chance to explore Kelowna’s lovely cultural district. As a celiac, I greatly appreciated the availability of gluten free options.
Amazing!!!!!! Andrew is absolutely wonderful. The tour was informative and fun. The food options and portions were of the highest quality, variety, and portion. The drinks are fantastic. Every detail of the tour we enjoyed. So many places we never would have found on our own. We took our 15 month along with us and she enjoyed it as well. Andrew was able to accommodate our food allergies at every location. The gluten free options were delicious. Very well organized.
This was a wonderful experience led by a very knowledgeable guide. Andrew was personable, funny, and made the tour very interesting and entertaining.
Excellent. Andrew was informative, friendly and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time
Andrew, our guide, was wonderful as he led us around Kelowna’s cultural district and the many different places to get some delicious food and drinks. His knowledge of the different places and the area was outstanding and made the tour very enjoyable and worthwhile. Highly, highly recommend this tour!
