Cedar Creek Estate Winery is one of the best recognized estate wineries in the Okanagan Valley. Its welcoming feel and warm staff are great educators on the region.
St. Hubertus Estate Winery The St Hubertus and Oak Bay Vineyards were originally planted in 1928 by J.W. Hughes during a time when good agricultural land was plentiful. Today, only a few of the original vines exist but the same choice growing conditions continue to produce the high quality grapes for which the vineyards are known. Using organic techniques, the Gebert Family have carefully nurtured the vineyards into top condition. By means of plentiful sunshine, the winery is always evolving. They have just completed a Solar hot water system.
Tour # 2 - Self Guided Tour - About Town - From Downtwon Pandosy to South Pandosy
A visit to the downtown core offers spectacular landscape: lake, mountains and parks, complemented by a variety of shops and boutiques. Casual to fine dining, heritage buildings to modern architecture, movie theatre to live theatre, art galleries to museums.
This tour is about shopping in style; two streets just away from the hustle and bustle, Pandosy and Tutt. In 1859, Father Charles Pandosy established the Father Pandosy Mission on Benvoulin Road; he baptized, married, taught and healed the sick until his death in 1891. It is also said that Father Pandosy traveled bareheaded and barefoot in the Okanagan region’s hot Summer weather. Pandosy Street, named after the Father, cuts through the Kelowna South Real Estate real estate neighbourhood; it’s fitting that Pandosy leads to one of Kelowna’s finest Lake Okanagan beaches, Gyro Beach. Today, beachgoers can hide from the hot Sun by hitting the great boutique shopping in Pandosy Village. Tired sun worshippers can retreat to restaurants, pubs and coffee bars all in a 3 block square. Pandosy Street turns into Lakeshore Road that, if followed, leads to golf courses and wineries in the Lower Mission neighbourhood.
