Friday Night

Monte Creek Winery

Prefer to sample the Thompson Valley terroir? Say no more. Monte Creek Winery, just 25 minutes east of Kamloops, is open year-round at the tasting room for wine tastings and bottle sales.

No, reservations aren’t required. Yes, you should snap a cute selfie and post it online. Embarrass your adult children. This is a weekend for spring flingers, after all. Soak up the remaining daylight before checking in to your accommodation of choice.

Friday Night

Casa Azul Mexican Restaurant

Casa Azul Mexican Restaurant is one of those restaurants where you sit a little straighter and let your eyes wander every time a server walks by with shared appetizers and main course. This is your weekend fling, so order the Ixtapa mojito, savour the chimichanga, and enjoy the start of your spring fling.

Saturday

Cordo Resto + Bar

Sleep-in, window shop along Victoria Street, and find your way to a booth at Cordo Resto + Bar at the Delta Hotel Kamloops. People-watching is best paired with a craft mimosa or breakfast taco in hand, particularly in a booth at Cordo Resto + Bar. Rumour has it that celebrities such as Chris Pratt and Morgan Freeman have been spotted here.

Saturday

Kamloops Art Gallery

Walk across the street and explore Halcyon Fog, the latest exhibition at the Kamloops Art Gallery. The Gallery Store sells unique, thoughtful gifts for your hard-to-shop-for daughter-in-law, as well as cheeky postcards for your nearest and dearest.

Saturday

Red Bridge Distilling

If driving directions lead to an industrial part of midtown, you’ve come to the right place at Red Bridge Distilling. Sample craft spirits – like absinthe, gin, or vodka- while Dave and Richard – the always generous and sometimes cheeky co-owners- share the story of the spirits and the renowned Red Bridge in Kamloops.

Saturday

Western Canada Theatre

A weekend getaway isn’t complete without experiencing a live performance at Western Canada Theatre. This March shows include BOOM, Clean, and Kim’s Convenience on select dates.

Sunday Morning

5Bean Brew Bar

Save the drip coffee for the weekday and have a barista whip up a homemade latte or cappuccino at 5Bean Brew Bar & Café. Sit back, finish that book you’ve been meaning to read, and enjoy the Sunday buzz.

Sunday Morning

Mount Paul Golf Course

Tee off at Mount Paul Golf Course, just across the Red Bridge from downtown. The two-story driving range is open year-round and is an affordable and fun way to top off your spring fling weekend before kicking off the week ahead.
