something for everyone

From gourmet dinner and concert combinations with international A-list artists, to sipping on a glass of wine and partaking from a charcuterie board in an Adirondack chair while listening to local talent, Kelowna wineries offer a full spectrum of live music events throughout the spring, summer, and fall months, with some even providing year-round entertainment in enclosed spaces.

NOTE - The COVID-19 pandemic and the provincial emergency delcaration have put a hold on live music performances in Kelowna and across BC. As restrictions loosen and live events start getting booked again, this page and others in our music section will begin to fill up again.

Frind Estate Winery

3725 Boucherie Rd - West Kelowna

Tucked inside the Capri Hotel, really good food and an atmosphere that melts nicely into the evening. Yes, it is a hotel restaurant, but this is the same kitchen behind The Vintage Room, which for years had the best Ceasar Salad in town.
