What to wear on a wine tour in Kelowna?
When deciding what to wear on a wine tour in Kelowna, prioritize comfort, practicality and a relaxed, smart-casual style. You’ll likely be walking between tasting rooms, standing during tastings and spending some time outdoors, so comfortable clothing and shoes are more important than dressing formally.
What to wear:
- Comfortable shoes — Choose shoes you can comfortably walk and stand in. Sneakers, flats, casual boots or low heels are all practical choices.
- Layers — A light jacket, cardigan or sweater can be useful because temperatures can change throughout the day, particularly in spring and fall.
- Smart-casual clothing — Jeans, nice pants, a blouse or polo, a casual dress, skirt or similar comfortable clothing all work well.
- Sun protection — A hat, sunglasses and sunscreen are useful for outdoor tastings and vineyard visits during sunny weather.
- Comfortable, practical accessories — A small bag is useful for carrying your phone, sunscreen and other essentials.
What to avoid:
- Heavy perfume or cologne — Strong fragrances can interfere with the aromas of the wine and affect the tasting experience for other guests.
- Uncomfortable shoes — Wine tours can involve plenty of standing and some walking, so footwear you can wear comfortably for several hours is a good choice.
- Clothing that is difficult to manage — Choose something comfortable enough for getting in and out of vehicles and moving between tasting rooms.
- Overdressing — You generally don’t need formal clothing for a Kelowna wine tour. Smart casual is a good approach.
What about jeans, shorts or dresses?
Jeans are perfectly acceptable for most Kelowna wine tours. In warm weather, shorts and casual dresses can also be comfortable choices. The most important thing is to dress appropriately for the weather and choose clothing that lets you walk, stand and relax comfortably.
There is generally no need to dress formally for a wine tour. If you’re visiting a particular winery with its own dress expectations, check with the winery before your visit. Otherwise, comfortable smart-casual clothing is a safe choice.
