KELOWNA KRAWL
If you're privy to the K-Town rinser (a white wine spritzer), you're already a local at heart. If not, here's our guide.

The new Cabana Grille
brings local nosh to a whole new level with super-star Chef Ned Bell
back to his old summer stomping grounds after tours in Toronto and
Calgary. The patio has misters to keep you cool (they're mechanical
ladies) but the scene is sure to be smokin' nonetheless. Cabana Grille,
3799 Lakeshore Rd., Kelowna, B.C., 250-763-1955, www.cabanagrille.com
sleep
If you love quirky abodes, you'll be charmed by Tree Tops,
a private, two-bedroom retreat at the top of an apple orchard. There
are river rocks embedded in the hallway and a dining room table like no
other—but the views are expansive, the gardens lovely, and it's right
next door to Tantalus Vineyard (and eventually, its Bing Thom-designed winery). www.treetopskelowna.com
listen
Terry David Mulligan and Jason Priestly broadcast their wine-themed radio show, The Tasting Room,
