Travelling in Kelowna with a Car Hire

Lake Monster named Ogopogo has characteristics similar those described in the legend of the Loch Ness Monster. The story of Ogopogo outdates Nessie by 80 years, first described by Native people in the 1800's. Some of the most convincing sightings are those of 30 people in 1926 who all say that they saw something large and serpentine splashing about in the water. Naysayers have chalked up the sightings to otters, branches and memory failure as the burden of proof lies with those who believe. Come to Kelowna and make the judgment for yourself and decided if you think the stories are fact or fiction.

The fertile Okanagan Valley is home to countless winerie; one of the most praised is the Okanagan Villa, home of Vibrant Wines. The massive estate's landscape offers breathtaking views which showcase lush rows of grapevines stretching across rolling hills. Though the property has many traditional features, the business itself is far from traditional. While in the tasting room you are encouraged put on 3-D glasses as you ogle at each of the giant posters that line the walls; even the wine labels are made to be appreciated while wearing the 3-D glasses. The lavish gardens explode with colour and regularly host live Jazz bands on the weekend. While being guided by an experienced wine connoisseur, this relaxing and casual environment will offers not only an educational experience but one of lasting memories.
