Fantastic experience. What an incredible way to get to know the Okanagan. The team treated us so well, everything ran so smoothly, and we had an afternoon that we will never forget. Big thank you to the whole Sip and Anchor team - especially "Aileen"...!

Great experience all around! Danielle was incredibly responsive and was able to accommodate us on very short notice. The boat was beautiful and our captain, Jonny, was excellent. Perfect way to tour the lake!

Every part of our experience with Sip & Anchor was so great! Danielle was so fast to respond with any questions we had, and such a delight to deal with. The day of was perfectly organized and our driver was not only knowledgeable but fun! I would highly recommend this team to anyone who is looking for an amazing time at an extremely reasonable price.

I had the pleasure of taking a luxury wine tour with Sip & Anchor last week when I was visiting Kelowna and let me tell you it was amazing! The driver was so courteous, he always carried our wine purchases back to the beautiful private SUV we had 😍 he was also very knowledgeable about the city’s history and vineyards we stopped at, as well as very funny and kind!
The entire booking process was seamless. They organized a trip that suited our winery preferences, pick up/ drop off (door to door), and a beautiful location for us to have lunch. They definitely went the extra mile for our girls trip and we will 100% be taking a Sip & Anchor trip again next year when we come back! 5 stars 100% !

Had a great time with a group of 8 guys. Wineries were great. Learned a lot. The driver was a funny dude and the boat driver was also great. Boating was a blast. Great views everywhere

We were in town during a long weekend and we’re wondering if boat wine tours existed. We had sent a few notes to tours Friday of the long weekend and Sip and Anchor were the only ones that responded and able to accommodate on short notice. Unfortunately we weren’t able to join them on the tour but the customer service we received from Danielle was fantastic. I know the tour would have been amazing too and i’m excited to join them the next time I find myself in Kelowna.

A group of us planned a weekend for a friend's Bachlorette and arranged The Signature tour for one of our days and it was incredible to say the least!
Danielle was amazing to communicate with and despite some bumps in our plans, was so accommodating and responded to our questions quickly!
Doug was our driver for our tour and he was very sweet and informative! Some of us had not been to the area and he told us about some cool places to visit next time!
Shelley was our boat captain and she was so much fun and quite patient with us too.
Overall I would 100% recommend booking with Sip & Anchor and genuinely look forward to going to Kelowna again so I can book another tour with them.
Thanks so much for making our friends trip extra special!
