RV Rentals Okanagan Wine Festivals
Okanagan Valley, Kelowna, BC, CA
Kelowna sits in the heart of the Okanagan Valley and is easily reached by RV via Highway 97, the main artery running north to south through the valley. From Vancouver, take Highway 1 east and then connect to Highway 97C, the Okanagan Connector, for a scenic drive of approximately four and a half hours. From Calgary, follow Highway 1 west through Golden and Revelstoke, then turn south on Highway 97 for a total journey of roughly seven to eight hours. Once in Kelowna, Highway 97 brings you directly through the city, with most campgrounds and RV parks clearly marked from the main road. Keep in mind that winter tires or chains are required on BC mountain passes between October and April, so check road conditions before departing if you are traveling during the Fall or Winter festivals. Plan ahead: Okanagan RV sites and campgrounds fill up quickly during festival season, so reserve your spot well in advance to secure the best location.

Great motorhome for our family of 4. 8 days on the road and we had a blast.
dan R. - Aug 2025
We had a great trip in Osoyoos thanks to Bjorn and his trailer. The trailer is in good condition and comes with a king bed which was an unexpected highlight of the trip. Bjorn was very helpful throughout the booking and delivery process and communicated with us every step of the way. Very happy with our experience and we would absolutely rent from Bjorn again.

RV camping near Okanagan Valley
The Okanagan Wine Festivals are a celebrated series of seasonal events staged across the Okanagan Valley, with the flagship Fall festival typically running over 10 days in early October, timed to coincide with the actual grape harvest. Events span dozens of wineries, tasting rooms, and venues from Kelowna to Penticton and throughout the South Okanagan, giving attendees an immersive wine-country experience. With over 100 curated events per season, including Grand Tastings, vineyard dinners, expert-led seminars, and the TASTE Passport self-guided winery tour, there is something for every type of wine lover. Autumn in the Okanagan brings warm, sunny days, crisp evenings, and spectacular fall foliage across rolling vineyard hillsides and shimmering lake shores.
Kelowna serves as the main festival hub, with a vibrant downtown food scene, Okanagan Lake waterfront, and a range of accommodations including lakefront hotels and well-equipped RV parks and campgrounds throughout the valley. Traveling to the Okanagan Wine Festivals by RV gives you the freedom to set your own itinerary, exploring the valley at your pace without hotel check-in times or shuttle schedules. Park your rig at a campground like Bear Creek Provincial Park on the Westside Wine Trail or Holiday Park RV Resort near downtown Kelowna, and you are just minutes from festival venues and participating wineries. Your RV becomes a comfortable home base between tastings, complete with your own kitchen, living space, and the perfect spot to enjoy a bottle from the day's discoveries. For groups of friends, an RV rental spreads the cost across everyone, making a multi-day wine country adventure both memorable and practical.

Frequently asked questions about renting an RV for Okanagan Wine Festivals
When do the Okanagan Wine Festivals take place and how long do they run?
The Okanagan Wine Festivals run year-round across four seasonal events: a Winter festival in late February, a Spring festival in late April to early May, and the signature Fall festival in early October, timed to coincide with the grape harvest. The Fall festival is the flagship, running over 10 days and two full weekends, with over 100 events spanning the entire Okanagan Valley. The Spring and Winter festivals each run about 9 to 10 days. Exact dates are announced on the official website each season, so follow the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society online for early announcements and to secure your favorite events before they sell out.
thewinefestivals.com/How do I purchase entry to the Okanagan Wine Festivals and what do events cost?
Most Okanagan Wine Festivals events are individually ticketed and vary in price depending on the experience. The TASTE Passport, a self-guided winery tour pass valid for a festival weekend, is typically around $65 CAD and includes six curated wine and food experiences at participating wineries throughout the valley. Grand Tasting events are usually priced around $80 to $95 CAD. Individual winery dinners, seminars, and paired lunches vary widely. All events are bookable through the official website at thewinefestivals.com, and popular events and festival weekends sell out early, so purchase as soon as dates are released each season.
thewinefestivals.com/events/index/How do I get to the Okanagan Wine Festivals by RV and is there parking at the venues?
The main events are centered in Kelowna, reachable via Highway 97 or the Okanagan Connector. Since festival events span dozens of winery estates and urban venues across the valley, there is no single central event parking lot. RV travelers should set up at a campground such as Holiday Park RV Resort in West Kelowna or Bear Creek Provincial Park on the west shore of Okanagan Lake, then use a designated driver, rideshare, or one of the local wine tour shuttles on tasting days. This lets you enjoy every event fully and return to your RV comfortably at the end of the day. Downtown Kelowna venues use city parking, which can be tight for large rigs.
tourismkelowna.com/plan/how-to-get-here/car/What can I expect at the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
Expect an extraordinary celebration of British Columbia wine culture set against dramatic Okanagan scenery. The Fall festival, staged during the actual grape harvest, features Grand Tastings, the TASTE Passport self-guided winery tour, vineyard lunches and dinners, expert sommelier seminars, cellar tours, grape stomping, and live music. Each season brings its own focus: fall celebrates the harvest with bold reds and new releases, spring showcases crisp whites and rosés, and winter highlights full-bodied reds in cozy indoor settings. With over 100 events each season, you can build a full itinerary of tastings, food experiences, and behind-the-scenes winery access that suits your pace and palate perfectly.
thewinefestivals.com/fallWhat is the weather like during the Okanagan Wine Festivals and what should I pack?
Kelowna and the Okanagan Valley offer some of the most pleasant festival weather in Canada. The Fall festival in early October brings warm, sunny days often in the low 20s Celsius, with cool evenings that call for a light jacket or layer. The Spring festival in late April to early May is mild and fresh, with occasional showers, so bring a light rain jacket as well. For the Winter festival in late February, expect cold evenings and possible snow on mountain routes. Comfortable walking shoes are essential for vineyard terrain. Pack a reusable wine glass, a tote for bottles you will want to take home, sunscreen for outdoor tastings, and a designated driver plan or rideshare app for tasting days.
thewinefestivals.com/Are the Okanagan Wine Festivals family-friendly or is there an age requirement?
The Okanagan Wine Festivals Society's Signature Events are restricted to guests aged 19 and older, in line with British Columbia's legal drinking age. This applies to Grand Tastings, the TASTE Passport, winery dinners, and most official OWFS events. Some non-signature ancillary events within the broader festival, such as craft workshops or outdoor markets, may be open to all ages; check the events listing at thewinefestivals.com for a family filter. Kelowna itself is a fantastic family destination, with beaches on Okanagan Lake, parks, and outdoor activities that families can enjoy while adults attend festival events. Plan a mix of activities for everyone and the Okanagan trip becomes a great adventure for the whole group.
thewinefestivals.com/events/index/What food and drink options are available at the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
Food is woven into every aspect of the Okanagan Wine Festivals. TASTE Passport holders enjoy six curated wine and food pairing experiences at wineries throughout the valley, where local chefs create dishes specifically matched to each wine. Grand Tastings pair gourmet bites with wines from participating wineries. Vineyard lunches and dinners feature multi-course meals paired with the host winery's own bottles. All wines poured at official OWFS events are 100% British Columbia-grown, showcasing varietals from crisp Rieslings and Pinot Gris to rich Merlots and Cabernet Francs. A designated driver TASTE Passport is available for non-drinkers, so every member of your group can be part of the winery experience.
thewinefestivals.com/Are there any RV type or size restrictions at the Okanagan Wine Festivals venues?
The Okanagan Wine Festivals take place across the valley at winery estates, outdoor venues, and urban settings rather than at a single gated festival site, so there is no blanket RV policy for attendees. Each winery property has its own parking; boutique vineyard estates may have limited space for large Class A motorhomes or long fifth wheels. The best approach is to park your RV at a full-service campground like Holiday Park RV Resort in West Kelowna or Bear Creek Provincial Park, then use a smaller vehicle or arrange alternative transport for tasting days. All standard RV classes are welcome at Okanagan-area campgrounds, many of which accommodate rigs up to 45 feet with full hookups.
tourismkelowna.com/stay/camping-rv-parks/Can an RV be delivered to me in Kelowna for the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
Yes, RV delivery is a convenient option worth exploring for the Okanagan Wine Festivals. Many RVezy hosts in the Kelowna and British Columbia area offer delivery, meaning a host can bring the RV directly to your campground or agreed drop-off location so you skip driving the rental yourself. To find available options, search on RVezy using Kelowna, British Columbia as your location with the delivery filter enabled to see hosts who deliver to the area. This is especially useful if you are flying into Kelowna and want a fully set-up home base waiting at your campsite. Book early: Okanagan campsites and RV spots fill fast during festival season, and securing both your RV and site together makes planning much smoother.
rvezy.com/rv-search?SearchAddress=Kelowna, British Columbia&DeliveryWhere can I camp with an RV near the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
The Okanagan Valley has excellent RV camping within easy reach of festival venues. Bear Creek Provincial Park on the west shore of Okanagan Lake is a standout choice: it offers full-service RV sites with electrical hookups, a sani-dump station, showers, and 400 meters of sandy beach, and it sits right along the Westside Wine Trail near participating wineries. Holiday Park RV Resort in West Kelowna is the largest resort in the area, with over 500 full-service sites including 30-amp and 50-amp hookups and pull-through spaces for large rigs. Apple Valley Orchard and RV Park in Kelowna offers a charming orchard setting close to the city. Reserve well ahead: Okanagan campgrounds, especially Bear Creek Provincial Park, book up months in advance during fall festival season.
bcparks.ca/bear-creek-park/What lodging options are available near the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
Kelowna offers a wide range of accommodations to fit every style and budget. Boutique hotels and lakefront resorts line the downtown waterfront, putting you steps from Grand Tasting venues and top restaurants. West Kelowna and the Westside Wine Trail area have resort hotels and inn-style properties close to participating wineries. For RV travelers, Holiday Park RV Resort, Bear Creek Provincial Park, and Apple Valley Orchard and RV Park all offer comfortable full-service camping within a short drive of major festival events. Book accommodation as early as possible, especially for the Fall festival weekends in early October, as the Okanagan is one of British Columbia's most popular travel destinations and spots fill very quickly.
tourismkelowna.com/stay/camping-rv-parks/Are the Okanagan Wine Festivals accessible for guests with mobility needs?
Accessibility varies across the festival's many venues, but key Kelowna event spaces are well equipped. Revelry Food and Music Hub, one of the primary Grand Tasting venues in Kelowna, is fully accessible with mechanical lift devices, accessible seating, and accessible washroom facilities on both levels. Urban event venues in Kelowna generally meet provincial accessibility standards. Winery estates on the TASTE Passport route vary widely: some have flat, paved access while others feature uneven vineyard terrain, gravel paths, or stairs. Contact the Okanagan Wine Festivals Society at 250-864-4139 or through thewinefestivals.com before attending to confirm accessibility at your specific events and ask about any special arrangements you may need.
thewinefestivals.com/What should first-time attendees know before visiting the Okanagan Wine Festivals with an RV?
First-timers: base your RV at a Kelowna-area campground and treat it as your home for the whole festival. Bear Creek Provincial Park puts you close to the Westside Wine Trail, while Holiday Park RV Resort gives easy access to both Kelowna and West Kelowna wineries. Purchase your TASTE Passport early; it is the most flexible way to experience the festival, covering six winery stops of your choice at your own pace across participating properties. Plan your daily tasting route the night before, since popular winery events and dinners fill quickly. Always arrange a designated driver or book a local wine tour shuttle so everyone in your group can enjoy each stop fully and return to your RV safely.
thewinefestivals.com/What are the rules and safety considerations at the Okanagan Wine Festivals?
All Okanagan Wine Festivals Signature Events require valid government-issued photo ID confirming you are 19 or older. Outside alcohol is generally not permitted at official OWFS events. Re-entry policies vary by event, so check your specific event listing at thewinefestivals.com before attending. The most important safety consideration at any wine festival is never driving after tasting: arrange a designated driver, use a rideshare app, or book one of the local wine tour shuttles before your day begins. Many winery properties feature uneven terrain, so wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes. If you are driving your RV through mountain passes in October, carry winter tires or chains as required by BC law and check DriveBC for current road conditions.
