Had a fantastic day touring the Okanogan with Michael. Roots & Vines were very accomodating to take…read moreus on a tour even though we booked very last minute. Michael's knowledge of the region and wine in general was excellent. We visited 5 wineries and each one was as spectacular as the last. All of the staff at the wineries were able to offer service with a smile and it made it hard to choose our favorite winery because they all had something different to offer. The vehicle that drove us around all day was very comfortable and the air conditioning worked great (it was a hot Kelowna day). We will be recommending this tour to everyone that visits Kelowna and the Okanogan area.

Highly recommend Bare Wine Tours, and if you get Dave as your guide, you're in great hands!

Merlin took us on an amazing adventure in Summerland, BC. He was so hospitable and helpful! We…read moreactually were able to fit in 6 different wineries and we went on a Tuesday so thankfully they weren't too busy. They pick you up at your door and drive you home so you're able to just sit back and relax without the worry of driving. It is reasonably priced as well! I think my favourite will always be the classic Sumac Ridge. But we did try an organic winery as well called Sage Hills which was great too! I would definitely recommend Merlin and Bare tours to others!
