Thank you for taking the time to open this up and stay updated with my Food Tour!
If you can believe it, I am entering my 5th year showcasing scrumptious food & drinks in the stunning lakeside Cultural District Downtown Kelowna!
Much love to everyone for helping me along the way, and here's to 5 more years of great memories!
Without further ado here is what's up in this Blog and with Me (Andrew):
"What's In The Blog?"
Welcome Back (2025 Vendors)
2025 Tours So Far (Picture Collage)
Spion Kop (One Of My Favourite Local Hikes)
What's Up Andrew?
1 - Welcome Back (2025 Vendors)
I sure am a lucky Business Owner. I wouldn't be anything without my exceptional local vendors I've partnered with. I've learned it's a tough industry, maybe one of the toughest, and to succeed you have to be spectacular, determined, and steadfast all the time!
I'm proud to say I've brought back all the same Vendors for another year once again!
I've connected all the websites in this Blog, please give them all a personal visit if you can, or a follow on Socials :)
Also, sometimes my Vendors get booked out completely or have private events, so I've made two "new" friends. This year they'll pop up on tour from time to time and of course meet the excellence my guests demand on the Top Rated Food Tour in the Okanagan.
They are:
Skinny Duke's Glorious Emporium - A 70's Themed Restaurant where people come for the atmosphere, but stay for the Food & Drinks!
Bamboo Chopsticks - A staple in Kelowna & West Kelowna for almost two decades. Serving authentic Viatnamese Food. Always fresh, always amazing service, and memorable food & drinks.
2 - 2025 So Far In Pictures:
It's mad 2 months has passed already. I do have some photographers coming out to snap some nice pics of me again this year, these are just the ones I manage to get while showing all my marvelous guests around Downtown Kelowna!
Check out my pal Brandon Boot Photography - Website
He helps me with photos, and my website. He is also the Ninja behind the Camera at Alti Tunes, Denim on the Diamond, and everything BNA (Nixon Hospitality).
3 - Spion Kop (One Of My Favourite Local Hikes):
No point living in the Okanagan if you don't get out and do Okanagan stuff! Hiking, Boating, Paddleboarding, Fishing, Skiing, Biking, Golf, Tennis, and Beaching! You name it, we have it all here for the adventurer.
I snuck away to Spion Kop just 25-30 minutes from Kelowna in Lake Country. From the peak you can see Kalamalka Lake, Wood Lake, Duck Lake, and Okanagan Lake all from the same spot.
It's roughly 8km (round trip) from Pelmewalsh Way (Old Highway 97) to the top and back. Pack a snack, and water, for the peak while soaking in ultimate Okanagan views.
Here is some info on the many Trails in Lake Country - Website
Also, as many of you know Lake Country is my second home, so I snapped some pictures from a little hike I did up there this April.
4 - What's Up Andrew?:
I don't know how I am in year 5 of Walking Food Tours already?!
I'm very fortunate and appreciate everyone who has helped and supported me along the way :)
I hope everyone has a great Spring, and I'll keep updating you here about myself and what's going on with the Tours.
Yours In Food Tours,
