7 Tips to Plan a Perfect Day of Golf & Wine in Kamloops
What You Need-to-Know to Pair (or Plan) a Perfect ( or Full ) Day of Golf and Wine (in Kamloops)
A round of golf and a 3-winery tasting tour is full day but totally doable in Kamloops. With a little planning and some itinerary intel, you can easily get in 18 holes in the morning and still have time to enjoy a three-winery tasting tour in the afternoon. Here’s what you need to know to plan the perfect day:
Plan for approximately 45 minutes at each winery. ½ hour for wine tasting and 15 mins to ½ hour for shopping and just enjoying the properties. Be sure to reserve a tasting time in advance.
If you want to do a winery lunch, plan that around Monte Creek Winery which would then be your first winery stop. Be sure to book a reservation for the Terrace Restaurant in advance.
- Do not plan on going back to the hotel after golf and before hitting the wineries. You will end up back tracking and wasting too much time.
-
Plan on golfing at a course that is
close to your first winery stop to minimize drive time.
-
Monte Creek and Harper’s Trail are
located on the South Thompson and pair well with Rivershore, Big Horn
and Eagle Point Golf Courses.
- Privato Vineyard and Winery is in the North Thompson Valley and will pair particularly well with the Dunes, and Kamloops Golf & Country Club.
-
Where you choose to golf, will dictate
which winery you will start at.
