Kelowna
British Columbia destination
Kelowna is a city in the Okanagan Valley of British Columbia, Canada, situated on the eastern shore of Okanagan Lake.
It serves as a major center for tourism, wine production, and fruit growing in the region, known for its warm summers and mild winters.
The city has grown into one of British Columbia's largest metropolitan areas outside Vancouver.
We spent a week in Kelowna visiting wineries and beaches.
