What happens when you combine luxury yachting, world-class wine, and a sun-drenched Canadian wine region? You get the Iconic Winery Estates Yacht Experience—a dreamy new one-day adventure from Iconic Wineries of British Columbia that’s as exclusive as it is unforgettable.

Launching this summer for just three lucky dates, this first-of-its-kind voyage whisks guests across the sparkling waters of Okanagan Lake aboard a private Cobalt yacht, stopping at three of Kelowna’s most celebrated wineries—Mission Hill Family Estate, Martin’s Lane Winery, and CedarCreek Estate Winery—for an all-access pass to their most exquisite sips, sights, and seasonal eats.

And yes, there’s wine. Lots of it. Let’s break it down:

All Aboard the Glam Boat Life

The day begins with a chic departure from the public boat dock adjacent to the Kelowna Yacht Club, where a dedicated captain and VIP host welcome you aboard your luxury vessel. From there, it’s a floaty, fabulous hop between estates—on the water and off the beaten path—with time to sip, swim, and soak in the beauty of BC’s beloved wine country.

Stop One: Martin’s Lane Winery

Architecturally stunning and gravity-fed (yes, that’s a thing), this six-level stunner is the holy grail of Pinot Noir and Riesling. Your behind-the-scenes tour here includes rare tastings and next-level vineyard views.

Stop Two: CedarCreek Estate Winery

Think crisp Chardonnay, expressive Pinot Noir, and a commitment to sustainable, regenerative farming. After a private tasting, you’ll head to the award-winning Home Block Restaurant for a wood-fired lunch that captures the flavours of the valley—terroir to table, with just the right touch of smoke.

Stop Three: Mission Hill Family Estate

This iconic landmark is the crown jewel of the region. Following a scenic lake cruise (yes, there’s time to swim), guests are treated to a guided tour, barrel tasting, and a sunset dinner at Terrace Restaurant, where vineyard and lake views steal the show.

Did we mention this all happens in a single day? It’s like The White Lotus, but with more Pinot and less drama.

There are just three sailing dates for Summer 2025—July 25, August 1, and August 22—and each itinerary is limited to six guests. Translation: it’s intimate, ultra-exclusive, and entirely customizable for you and your crew.

So if a day of vineyard-hopping by yacht sounds like your kind of summer magic, reach out to [email protected] and get your rosé-ready outfit packed.

Bon voyage and cheers to wining on the water—B.C. style. —Noa Nichol
