Wine Tour vs. DIY: Why Booking With Tiki Time Saves You More Than Just a Headache
It happens all the time—someone says, “Why don’t we just drive ourselves?” At first, doing your own Kelowna wine tour or West Kelowna wine tour sounds simple enough. Grab a designated driver, pick a few wineries from Google, and hit the road. Easy, right?
Not quite.
Once you’ve tried both, it’s obvious: booking a wine tour with Tiki Time isn’t just more fun—it’s safer, easier, and way more memorable. Here’s why.
The DIY Wine Tour Dilemma
Sure, you can DIY your own wine tour. But here’s what usually happens:
Someone in the group has to stay sober and miss out.
You spend half the day Googling wineries, figuring out directions, and trying to coordinate reservations.
Parking, timing, and staying on schedule turn into a headache.
You end up visiting only the obvious spots and miss out on hidden gems that locals know.
And let’s be real—nothing kills the vibe of a bachelorette party, birthday, or friends’ weekend faster than arguing over whose turn it is to drive.
