BC Wine Museum & VQA Wine Shop

Great museum documenting the history of wines and orchards of the Okanagan. Was very quiet when we visited, it's inside the amazing old Lauren Packing House which is a sight in itself. Staff was helpful.

Great source of history and information regarding the fruit and wine industry of the Okanagan valley! It covers not just making wines and harvesting fruit but includes packaging, storage and transportation, and farming issues like bees and pollination. Chandra at the desk was also really helpful!

Two large rooms about the fruit industry and wine industry, showing equipment used in the past, old labels and interesting facts and history. Donation box. The museum building (former packing-house) includes a large space for events.

Great museum. Downtown sited in an old Apple Warehouse. Great displays on Apple processing and wine making in the Okanagan valley. Would be a great place for a cider exhibit!

Nice museum to spend an hour learning about Okanagan wine and agriculture.

Changed too much. When it was smaller and just about apple orchards set up was better with lots more fun things to see and learn. There were things to buy at a reasonable price. I bought my apple peeler there years ago. Info about wine is good.

The preservation and remodelling of the old Laurel building enhances this gem of restoration... alone worth the visit ... and a terrific events location! Get an idea of Kelowna's growing history of fruit, tobacco, and grapes through the records, old equipment and photographic displays.

Got here on a Sunday and realized they were closed (my bad). Instead, there was an awesome holistic market (bought many items). The museum looked lovely though.

We solicited the saleswoman's aid as we are not at all familiar with the Okanagan Valley wines. She seemed knowledgeable. I paid more than 50$ for 2 bottles one of which was a gift for a red wine lover. She spoke highly of this one saying …

Friendly staff and interesting exhibits. On the small side so it won't take long to walk through the rooms. Many areas have new exhibits coming soon.

Rude staff. Gave me the wrong information about VQA wines. Their "museum" is literally just a few old empty bottles. I also find their wines to be overpriced. Don't visit this place!

Some great old machinery on display here. When walking up a machine, avoid looking at the card that explains what the machine does. Much more entertaining to try to figure it out.

Excellent local museum with even space. Lots of very interesting history and exhibits, with very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff!

Next best thing to visiting the wineries, and it's all in one spot, with free parking to boot.

Some pretty interesting stuff to look at in a really cool old building.

Fantastic place to bring guests, lots of information and helpful staff.

A little bit of history for the region and very friendly staff!
