Rocky Mountaineer GoldLeaf Wine Tasting Experience

Tour Information

Located in southern British Columbia, Canada – the Okanagan Valley is one of the warmest regions in all of Canada and boasts over 100 wineries. The area’s unique sub-climates and soil conditions provide the perfect environment for a diverse range of remarkable wine grapes. With endless international awards, the wineries located in the rolling hills of the valley produce some of the best wines in the world. Your tour will include visits to some of the premier wineries in this region, such as Mission Hill, Sumac Ridge, and Burrowing Owl.

In addition to the wine experience in the Okanagan, you will have ample free time to relax on the beach, enjoy a little shopping, or take advantage of one of many golf courses nearby. After the Okanagan, your journey takes you to Banff for a breathtaking helicopter tour, or a round of golf on a world-class course in the shadows of the Canadian Rockies. To ensure you’re enjoying your holiday and not feeling rushed, you’ll also receive comfortable limousine service from Banff to Calgary.
