10 Best Breweries and Beer Places in Kelowna

"BNA Brewing Co. offers everything you could want when dining in downtown Kelowna: an independent craft brewery, an onsite Tasting Room, and an attached full-service restaurant. The beer is brewed on site and served straight to guests, both in the Tasting Room and the Eatery. Ask the bartender to pour you a glass of fun labels like ‘Tipsy Canoe’ and ‘Don’t Lose Your Dinosaur IPA’."

"Since opening their doors in 2016, the BNA has become one of the busiest new drinking establishments in all of Kelowna. Locally brewed beer, a full food menu, 2 bars, occasional live music, and 10-pin bowling lanes mean you might not be leaving any time soon."

"All breweries have their own personalities, and Jackknife Brewing is like no other. Set in a small building next to Kettle River, it has an alternative/metal kind of vibe. Owner/brewer Brad Tomlinson, founding brewer at Kettle River, went out on his own by opening up shop next door."

"Jackknife, as self-described, is the “swirling cauldron” of three local creatives., this craft brewery brews its unique beers only in-house so, unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it) you’ll have to go to Kelowna to get a taste."

"Urban Distillery & Winery is a true craft whiskey distillery located in downtown Kelowna. The building has a lot of heritage too, as the oldest and largest craft whiskey distillery in BC. Each batch of natural craft spirits made here is distilled in German-made, artisan copper stills using premium Okanagan Valley grains, fruits, and glacier spring water from the Kootenays."

"Sarson’s Beach Park is located in the Mission neighbourhood, a quiet, residential area away from the downtown clutter and commotion. The area has a nice stretch of beach land, a playground for children, plenty of trees for shade, and a public washroom. Those are just a few of the great beaches in the area but it will certainly give you a lot to go on."

"South of Boyce-Gyro Beach is Sarsons Beach - 7.6 kilometers south of downtown off Hobson Road. Leave Lakeshore Road and make your way through an enclave of upscale residences to this one-hectare public park along Lake Okanagan. Many locals and visitors appreciate the intimate character of this hidden gem."

"The Mission Creek Greenway is a 36-hectare park corridor that encompasses the main trail, side trails and loops, picnic and rest areas, places to interpret the natural world around you, and city parks. The greenway can be accessed at 14 points along 16.5 kilometers of level walking and cycling trails. The trail follows salmon-bearing Mission Creek from west of Gallagher's Canyon Golf & Country Club to where it flows into Okanagan Lake south of downtown Kelowna."

"Mission Creek Greenway is probably the most frequented hike/walking path in Kelowna. It runs over 16 kms alongside Mission Creek and has a number of different access points. There are washrooms, picnic areas, and even a play structure for the kids to enjoy."

"A local set of waterfalls that ARE open though are the falls in Bear Creek Provincial Park. This gorgeous provincial park is packed full of awesome hiking trails and a beautiful campground. BUT the best part for photographers are the falls that cascade along the creek itself."
