Overview of the Experience

The Kelowna: Myra Canyon Bike & Wine Tasting Full Day Tour is a well-rounded excursion designed to show off the natural beauty and culinary delights of British Columbia’s wine country. You’ll start your day riding through the historic Myra Canyon, renowned for its 18 wooden trestles and two tunnels—a marvel of early 20th-century engineering—while enjoying views that make the effort worthwhile. After the ride, a delicious, relaxed lunch at Meadow Vista Honey Wines prepares you for an afternoon of exploring Kelowna’s best wineries.

The entire experience runs about 8 hours, making it a perfect day trip for those wanting a mix of activity and leisure. The tour is operated by Myra Canyon Bicycle Rental and Tours Inc, which emphasizes ease of participation by including bike rental and transportation. This way, you’re free to focus on the scenery and tastings rather than logistical details.

The Bike Tour: Myra Canyon’s Historic Treasures

The highlight for many participants is the guided bike ride through Myra Canyon, covering approximately 24 km of mostly flat trails. The guide’s insights illuminate the history of the trestles, which were part of the Canadian Pacific Railway. You’ll pass through two tunnels—dark and atmospheric—and cross through the trestles themselves, which seem to stretch endlessly over the canyon.

We loved the way the trail balances stunning scenery with accessible terrain—it’s doable for most, but not entirely flat-footed. Multiple reviews mention the interactive historical panels along the trail, adding an educational layer to the ride. The trail’s views of the surrounding mountains, forests, and the canyon floor are simply breathtaking, making this part of the tour a visual feast.

Some reviewers note that the ride is suitable for a broad range of skill levels, but it’s worth considering the physical aspect—if you’re not comfortable on a bike, or have mobility concerns, this might be more challenging. The guided nature of the tour means you’re never alone, and the group size usually keeps things manageable.

Scenic Lunch at Meadow Vista Honey Wines

After the biking, everyone appreciates the included lunch at Meadow Vista Honey Wines’ Bistro. The relaxed setting allows you to digest the morning’s exertion and enjoy local honey-infused dishes or simple fare, paired with their house-made wines or meads. The farm-to-table vibe adds authenticity, and reviews suggest the lunch is a good value compared to eating out in town.

This stop is also an opportunity to purchase local honey, wines, or gift items, supporting small local producers. Many guests comment on the peaceful farm setting—it’s a perfect place to unwind before heading out for the wine tastings.

Afternoon Wine Tastings: Kelowna’s Top Wineries

The second half of the day focuses on visiting and sampling at top Kelowna wineries. The tour includes stops at renowned spots like The View Winery & Vineyard, The Vibrant Vine Winery, and Camelot Vineyards. Each offers a different vibe and tasting experience—some with impressive vineyard views, others with innovative wine styles.

Guests consistently praise The Vibrant Vine for its creative offerings and welcoming atmosphere, with reviews mentioning memorable tastings and friendly staff. The View Winery is celebrated for its scenic setting and high-quality wines. These visits provide a deeper appreciation of the local wine scene, and the guided format helps ensure you’re not rushed or overwhelmed by choices.

You’ll have opportunities to purchase bottles, should you wish, but the main focus remains on tasting and enjoying the atmosphere.
