B.C.'s new luxury yacht tour will take you to three iconic wineries — here's everything to expect
What’s better than sitting back and enjoying some B.C. wine? Doing so on a luxury yacht, of course.
The Iconic Winery Estates Yacht Experience is a luxurious, fully curated one-day journey where guests will board a private Cobalt yacht for a day of excursions both on and off the water, while exploring the wineries of the Okanagan Valley.
This event will make its debut through a series of three sailings for the 2025 summer season, visiting three wineries on its voyage, including Martin’s Lane Winery, CedarCreek Estate Winery, and Mission Hill Family Estate.
“There is, quite simply, no other experience anywhere that connects estate wineries by private yacht and offers this level of access, hospitality and storytelling in a single day,” said Angelica Palladino, vice president of guest experience at Iconic Wineries of British Columbia.
“We are thrilled to introduce this unique adventure to wine lovers and epicureans from around the world, who will surely remember their day in the Okanagan for a lifetime.”

After, you’ll make your way to CedarCreek Estate Winery for a private tasting, followed by lunch at Home Block Restaurant, known for its terroir-to-table philosophy and its signature Argentinian wood-fired grill.
Board the yacht again for a leisurely cruise across the lake to Mission Hill Family Estate, where you’ll have time to enjoy a swim in the lake before freshening up for a guided tour and barrel tasting.
Conclude your experience with an al fresco dinner at the picturesque Terrace Restaurant alongside its sweeping views of Mission Hill’s vineyards and Okanagan Lake. You’ll then board the yacht one more time for a sunset return cruise.
