What are Okanagan Foodie Tours?

My Story
Hi, my name is Nancy Quinton – Founder and Experience Host with Okanagan Foodie Tours. After a 25-year corporate career it was time for me to venture in a totally different direction. After participating in food tours around the world I was hooked! I wanted to bring this globally trending foodie experience home to Kelowna. My insight into the history of the area coupled with a genuine fondness for customer service was the natural genesis of Okanagan Foodie Tours. Beautiful scenery, perfect weather, paired with a vibrant culinary scene provided a superb backdrop to introduce these unique tours to the valley.
As we say farewell to our 10th season (time really does fly when you are having fun!), I have to thank my tour partners – the restaurant owners, managers, chefs and their teams. Without them Okanagan Foodie Tours would never have come to fruition.
This year we are focusing on group tours – corporate and personal. I look forward to sharing a little of Kelowna’s sights, stories, and, most definitely, scrumptious foods with new groups of locals and visitors.
