Anyone have suggestions on where to go in Kelowna for a good winery experience? My buddies and I are looking for a place that's skews younger and busier, more interested in chatting with girls than pretending to know what a malbec is. Either a winery or tour would be sweet.

Um. Literally none of those things. Basically nobody at a winery wants to chat unless you want to buy their tastings before they leave to the next one.

Most wineries are having to book time in advance now anyway.

Maybe a little aggressive but the girls you are looking for aren’t at wineries.

Well, yes they are, but there are a couple issues. First and foremost, bachelorette season is long over. You're about 2 months too late. Secondly, none of wineries are set up for this. As mentioned, for scheduled tours (even pre-covid), you're going to have set times to do the tasting and buy wines, there is little time to mingle. The environments at most of the larger wineries is not conducive to mingling between groups. I'd say the Hatch and Mt Boucherie would be your best shots at mingling based on being more casual and communal, but even then, the wineries are not where to focus, its the nightlife. In bachelorette season, Kelowna downtown is insane. If you go to any of the clubs, you'll see no less than 10 bachelorette crews of 100% females, with a good 40% of them being on the prowl.

Kelowna’s hottest club is O’Flannigans. It has everything.

The brunt of our mingling efforts definitely won't be focused on the wineries but since that's the overall goal and wineries was something we wanted to do I figured we'd give ourselves the best shot. Roses has apparently closed which is a huuuuge loss that I'll have to make up incrementally in other areas

All nightclubs and banquet halls were ordered to close by Dr. Bonnie Henry Tuesday,
...

“Those types of venues are too risky, and that is where we're seeing quite a lot of transmission, particularly in the Lower Mainland, and then its spreading to other parts of the province as people travel or go and have other parties or get togethers with friends," Dr. Henry added.
In addition to the closure of clubs and banquet halls, liquor service at bars and restaurants must now end by 10 p.m., while these establishments must close by 11 p.m. Restaurants that serve only their full food menu will be permitted to remain open past 11.
Dr. Henry also added a new order that will limit the volume of music and TVs in bars and restaurants to below the volume of "normal conversation."

Yeah, if you're looking to come to B.C. to party and meet girls, now isn't the time.
