Wearing A Sash? Make Sure There Are No Surprises!

Your Kelowna bachelorette wine tour is all about YOU! Nobody wants to hear that they cannot enjoy their tasting because of their appearance. Sadly, this does happen so it’s important to be prepared. If sashes are part of your dress code for the day (because they are super fun!), make sure you’ll be allowed to wear these at the winery. Being asked to take off your sash as you enter a winery sucks the energy out of the tour and can feel downright rude.

Several wineries in Kelowna offer bridal packages and feel that by allowing others to wear a sash on property, it takes away from that bride’s experience. Avoid these interactions by connecting directly with each winery you’ll visit or your Kelowna wine tour operator to ensure positive vibes throughout the day! Our list of top 5 bachelorette friendly wineries in Kelowna includes wineries that welcome gals with their Sashes!

Skip The Fancy Wineries!

To make our list of top 5 bachelorette friendly wineries in Kelowna, experiences need to offer amazing tastings and atmosphere. These are “once in a lifetime” moments with your friends and family. It’s all about letting loose, being yourself and having the best day ever! While there are wineries that offer incredible bachelorette wine experiences, there are also those that do not.

Kelowna Wine & Craft Beer Tours 10

Popular and iconic wineries in Kelowna such as Mission Hill Family Estate, Quail’s Gate, Cedar Creek Winery & Tantalus Vineyards continue to provide some of the top wine tasting experiences in Kelowna. That said, these wineries are not well suited to getting “loud and proud” For quiet, intimate tastings, these wineries are best in class. For bachelorette tastings and tours though, you may be disappointed. Instead, opt for wineries that welcome high energy groups, have fun and vibrant tasting associates and won’t be annoyed if you get a little rowdy!

Photo Opportunities – Make Sure You Have Access To The Vineyard!

You’ll be making memories on your Kelowna bachelorette tasting tour and there’s no better way to remember it than by taking countless photos. Whether for Insta or for yourself, there will be no shortage of incredible back drops to snap photos of you and your crew.

While most wineries in Kelowna offer amazing scenery, not all offer access to vineyards. It’s important to connect with the wineries you plan on visiting and ensure you’ll be able to walk in the vineyard. Snapping pics while begin surrounded by lush, green vines and ripening grapes will add another level to the “cool” factor of your special day. Pro tip, if your bachelorette tasting is in September or October, try sampling grapes of the vine. As you get closer to the harvest season, the sugars will concentrate and you’ll enjoy farm fresh wine grapes you’d otherwise never have access to. Don’t forget to ask permission first though!
