In and Around Kelowna

These venues are all in Kelowna or a short drive away, so they keep travel easy for you and your guests.

1. CedarCreek Estate Winery

CedarCreek sits on a hillside about 20 minutes from downtown Kelowna, looking out over Lake Okanagan with vineyards and rolling hills in every direction. The estate has several indoor and outdoor spaces, including The Garden, the Pavilion, and the Home Block restaurant, with capacities that range from intimate gatherings of 30 up to about 100 guests.

The food is a big part of the draw here. Chef-led, vineyard-to-table menus pair local, seasonal ingredients with CedarCreek's own wines, and sommeliers help match each course to your celebration. If you want a polished winery wedding with strong food and wine front and center, this is a natural fit.

2. Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Summerhill is one of Kelowna's best known wedding venues, voted Best of Kelowna for weddings several years running. It offers sweeping views of Okanagan Lake and the surrounding mountains, with both indoor and outdoor spaces that can handle events of nearly any size. Settings include the iconic Summerhill Pyramid, the Vineyard Ballroom, the Heritage Lawn, and the Vineyard Lawn.

The winery is also known for its award-winning organic food and wine, with vegetables grown right on site. Catering ranges from plated, wine-paired dinners to relaxed buffets, and the events team has plenty of experience running large, detailed celebrations.

3. The Harvest Golf Club

The Harvest is a championship golf course in Kelowna with a garden setting wrapped in orchards and water features, plus sweeping Okanagan views. The elegant dining room seats up to 160 guests, which makes it one of the larger sit-down options on this list, and the in-house catering gets consistently strong reviews.

What sets The Harvest apart is the hands-on planning support. Their dedicated wedding and event planner helps build out your day, then the team handles the execution so you are not juggling details on the morning of. They are currently booking the 2026 and 2027 seasons.

4. Eldorado Resort

Eldorado is a full-service waterfront resort right on the shores of Okanagan Lake. It is really two connected hotels: the historic Hotel Eldorado, a boutique property dating back to 1926, and Manteo at Eldorado Resort, with a wider range of rooms, suites, and villas. A boardwalk and marina link the two, and the lake and mountain backdrop is hard to beat.

Ceremonies can happen on the Hotel Eldorado rooftop or in a Friday or Sunday slot, with receptions in the Manteo Waterfront Ballroom. Catering is handled in-house with plated and buffet options, and all weddings include a day-of coordinator. Because guests can stay on site, it works especially well for out-of-town crowds and weekend celebrations.

5. 50th Parallel Estate Winery

About 25 minutes north of Kelowna in Lake Country, 50th Parallel is a modern winery built around guest experience. The property has a striking lineup of event spaces, from the Infinity Event Pad and Winery Tank Hall to the newer Event Centre and Gravity Lounge, so you can scale the setting to your guest count and style.

Weddings are catered through the on-site BLOCK ONE restaurant, and the team designs each event around your vision. The architecture and vineyard setting give the whole place a sleek, contemporary feel that photographs beautifully.

Worth the Drive: Wider Okanagan Venues

These three sit a little further out, between roughly 50 minutes and an hour from Kelowna, but each offers something you will not find in the city. They are easy add-ons if you are open to a short scenic drive through wine country.

6. Liquidity Wines

In Okanagan Falls, about 50 minutes south of Kelowna, Liquidity Wines sits on a hillside between two wine regions, overlooking Lake Vaseux and McIntyre Bluff. The venue is flexible: you can marry on the ceremony lawn, under a covered pavilion, or in the sleek glass-fronted space, and the Loft Suite gives you a private spot to get ready or stay the first night as newlyweds.

Every wedding is built around customizable packages, with menus that lean on local produce and wine pairings from the kitchen team. The result is a celebration that feels polished but still warm and personal.

7. S.S. Sicamous

If you want something truly one of a kind, the S.S. Sicamous in Penticton is Canada's largest surviving sternwheeler, now a heritage site and waterfront wedding venue about an hour south of Kelowna. Both ceremony and reception happen on board, which removes any guest transportation between locations. The ship holds up to 100 guests for a cocktail reception, 85 for a seated dinner, and 30 to 60 for a ceremony.

You get full access to multiple decks for photos and mingling, with an elevator for guests who need it. The venue supplies tables, chairs, sound, and catering equipment, and you bring your own caterer and beverages with no corkage fees.

Quick Comparison

How to Choose the Right Okanagan Venue

The Okanagan gives you a lot of range, so the right pick usually comes down to a few priorities:

• Guest count and layout. Some venues, like The Harvest, are built for larger seated dinners. Others shine with intimate groups. Match the space to your real numbers before you fall in love with the view.
• Catering and bar. Wineries and resorts often handle food and wine in-house, while venues like the S.S. Sicamous let you bring your own caterer with no corkage. Decide how much control you want over the menu.
• Travel and accommodation. If you have out-of-town guests, a venue with on-site rooms or nearby lodging makes a real difference. Kelowna venues keep things central, while the wider Okanagan spots reward a short drive with unique settings.
• Time of year. Okanagan summers are long, warm, and dry, which is ideal for outdoor ceremonies. Just confirm a rain or heat backup plan for peak July and August dates.

Tip: Book your venue first, then build your vendor team around it. Popular Okanagan venues often book 12 to 18 months out for summer weekends.
