Kelowna Orchard and Wine Museum

by Darby2 - last update: Aug 28, 2005

Fancy wine bottles
The trumpet shaped bottles are "Jazz Blush"
Apple box Labels from the past
Some current vintages
There are more than 500 separate vintages produce on more than 60 wineries in the Okanagan. Some are produced in small batches of as little as 20 or 30 cases while larger batches may exceed several thousand. Ice wines are the most precious...some can fetch more than $500 for a half bottle (375 ml)
Myyyyyy!!! what BIG pumpkins!!
They grow pumpkins in the Okanagan too. Veteran grower Archie Lingl from Kelowna has set the current record at Smoky Lake, Alberta with a monster of 905.5 pounds.

Her Gilliness models the latest pumpkin fashions! :o))
Kelowna model Railway

The Okanagan Model Railway

One of the prized permanent exhibits at the museum is this huge HO gauge model railway layout. It's a true to life scale model of the railway and various buildings and landforms around Kelowna and the nearby towns. It's about 15 feet wide and 25 feet long and comprises more than 80 locomotives and rail cars of all types.
Cherry girls
The Cherry girls...I'll take two pounds of the Lapins and a pound of the Rainiers ;o))
Sales area
Diva's Delight
This fancy cello-shaped bottle is a vintage called Diva's Delight. Sells for about $40

I think we should rename it "Darby's Delight" Hey it's only my suggestion!!!!

 Best Place to dine in Kelowna! The Italian Food is World Class! And the service is excellent. Loretta (Chef) and Franco (Maître) are the owners who their son Luigi make the best desert drinks.
