The hub of BC’s wine country, Kelowna is mostly known for the wineries that punctuate its suburbs. But visitors shouldn’t ignore the city’s quaint downtown, made all the more compelling by a boardwalk that runs along the waters of Okanagan Lake. It’s a lively place in summer, with beach volleyball, live concerts, car shows and other entertainment, but downtowners can also frequent more permanent fixtures, including a collection of independent restaurants that showcase the wineries' produce.
