Tourism Kelowna

Bayside | D3017

A Destination for Forward-Thinking Events.

Canada’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy, rooted in wine, innovation, and connection.

Set in the heart of British Columbia’s Okanagan Valley, Kelowna combines strong meeting infrastructure with authentic, place-based experiences. With 4,500+ guest rooms and 110,000+ sq. ft. of meeting space, the destination offers the professional capability planners need, surrounded by vineyards, mountains, orchards, and Okanagan Lake.

Compact, Connected & Effortless.

Kelowna makes it easy to experience more within a single program. Kelowna International Airport (YLW), one of Canada’s busiest airports, is just a 15-minute transfer from downtown and offers 80+ daily non-stop commercial flights. Kelowna is less than a one-hour flight from Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, and Seattle, and just over four hours from Toronto, Montreal, and Ottawa.

Once here, hotels, meeting spaces, dining, and the waterfront are closely connected, while wineries, farms, golf courses, and unique off-site venues are just a short scenic transfer away—keeping programs seamless, efficient, and focused on the experience.

Wine, Food & Sense of Place.

Known as the “Napa of the North,” the Okanagan Valley is home to more than 200 wineries, with Kelowna at the heart of its celebrated food and wine culture. As Canada’s first UNESCO City of Gastronomy, Kelowna offers a culinary identity shaped by its chefs, farmers, winemakers, and producers. Nearby Mission Hill Family Estate has also earned international recognition among the World’s 50 Best Vineyards, further placing the region on the global wine stage.

For business events, that translates into unforgettable experiences—from private dinners among the vines and evenings inside wine barrel caves to chef-led experiences, lakefront receptions, and locally inspired dining.

Tap Into Local Expertise.

Kelowna’s established industry sectors—including technology and innovation, agriculture and agri-food, aerospace/aviation, and education—create opportunities for meaningful knowledge exchange and connection with local experts. Planners can bring these industries into their programs through local speakers, site visits, behind-the-scenes access, and relevant content that adds depth and a distinctly Okanagan perspective to the conference experience.

Four Seasons. One Remarkable Setting.

With a sunny, temperate climate and milder conditions than many Canadian destinations, Kelowna makes the most of all four seasons. From wine and culinary experiences to golf, boating, hiking, skiing, and year-round outdoor adventure, the Okanagan lifestyle becomes a natural extension of the business event experience. It’s where professional capability meets an incredible setting—giving planners more ways to take the program beyond the meeting room.
