Vernon sits at the northern end of the Okanagan Valley, where the Scenic Sip Wine Trail winds through rolling hillside vineyards overlooking one of Canada's most beautiful lakes. Our Sip & Cruise tour takes full advantage of everything this region has to offer — from aromatic whites at boutique Lake Country wineries to two glorious hours drifting across the shimmering blue of Okanagan Lake on your own private pontoon boat.
Your day kicks off with round-trip hotel pickup right in Vernon — including Sparkling Hill, Coldstream, and Lake Country properties — before heading out to visit three incredible Okanagan wineries. At each stop, your guide walks you through complimentary tastings of the region's finest pours — expect crisp Pinot Gris, elegant Pinot Noir, and sparkling wines that the Scenic Sip Trail is famous for. With 12 to 16 tastings across three stops, you'll have the chance to discover your new favourite bottle before the day is done.
Midway through, enjoy a 1.5-hour lunch reservation at a local winery hotspot — or pack your own picnic for a scenic vineyard feast. Either way, you'll have time to soak in the views and recharge before the second half of your adventure begins.
Then comes the moment everyone talks about: boarding your private, captained pontoon boat for a two-hour cruise across Okanagan Lake. With a Transport Canada certified captain at the helm, you're free to kick back, feel the lake breeze, sip your favourite drinks, and take in jaw-dropping views of the North Okanagan's mountain ridges, forested shorelines, and iconic waterfront properties. This is luxury Vernon-style — no crowds, no stress, just your group and the lake.
