What are the best small family wineries in Kelowna?
Start with Arrowleaf Cellars, Off the Grid Organic Winery and Sperling Vineyards.
How many wineries can you visit in a day in Kelowna?
Three or four is the sweet spot: about an hour each, plus a proper lunch. Five is possible if the cellars are small and close together.
How do you get around Okanagan wine country without driving?
Private driver for the day (about CA$90–120 per hour, 4-hour minimum); Small-group wine shuttle (about CA$110–160 per person, half or full day); E-bike the bench (about CA$80–120 per person, day rental). Every Grapevine itinerary lists these local options; book them directly.

Peak May–October. From November to March most small cellars close or go appointment-only; the big estates keep reduced hours.
