Bonjour Kelowna!

Immerse yourself in the heart of British Columbia's renowned wine country with our exclusive weekend getaway to Kelowna and the Okanagan Wine Region. Let our AFC guides, Jean-Baptiste & Natacha, lead you through the vineyard-laden landscapes of Kelowna, known for its superb wines and breathtaking views.

Your stay at the prestigious three-star Royal Anne Hotel in Kelowna is secured, along with transportation to various wineries, allowing you to relax and savor exquisite wines.
