Vistas & Vines

A ride described in Let's Go Biking

Moderate One step up. Some real climbing, or a rougher surface.

Difficulty Our overall read of how demanding a route is. We score surface roughness, climbing, singletrack, and how far it runs from services. The route publisher's own rating, a lot of busy road riding, or sheer scale can push the tier up, never down.

Derived from OpenStreetMap. Good data, not perfect. Spot something wrong? Tell us.

How we describe routes →

Vistas and Vines loops through Kelowna's East Kelowna Bench for 6.5 to 20 km, climbing quiet roads through vineyards and orchards to big valley views. Time it for cherry blossoms in spring or fall foliage later in the season; either way the wineries are open.
