Dockside Dining: Frind Winery

Frind Patio

Aug 8, 2024

I’m a boater – I always take friends and visitors to Frind when we’re on the boat.

  • Frind Statue
  • Frind Bottle
  • Frind Entrance
  • Frind Beachside

Frind Winery is the perfect place for boaters to go for lunch or dinner in the Kelowna area.  You can tie up on the dock or beach your pontoon on the spacious beach. 

Frind has an Italian style brick pizza oven for gourmet pizzas and a great selection of other menu items.  You can eat on the patio, at a picnic table, on the beach, or on the lawn. You can also get your order to go and enjoy your meal out on the lake. 

The wines are very good – book a wine tasting to enjoy while you’re there.   The 2022 Viognier is a very nice white wine – it’s the perfect wine for a beautiful summer day on the lake.  They also have live music Wednesdays, Saturdays,  and Sundays from 4 – 7pm throughout the summer. 

Fun Fact: Frind Estate Winery is the first beachfront winery in North America and is situated on the historic Bennett Property in West Kelowna, BC. The property was purchased in 2017 after Markus Frind sold his company Plenty of Fish and wanted to do something more hands-on.

Nimbus 365 Coupe – A real long-stay cruising boat for exploring

By Andy Adams

There is no shortage of fun and exciting new boat designs hitting the market, but for the last few years these have been mainly outboard-powered day boats. Some are day cruisers; some are centre console fishing boats or designed for tow sports. A new live-aboard cabin boat has become a rare item these days.

So when I heard that Pride Marine in Orillia, Ontario, had a Nimbus 365 Coupe in the water, I jumped at the chance to get out on it.

Tahiti—Updates from Paradise

By Zuzana Prochaska

I’ve been to Tahiti seven times—six on charter and once as crew for a couple of yachties. Over the 25 years that I’ve been visiting, it’s changed dramatically. Yet, inexplicably, it has also stayed the same.

Lounging on the flybridge of our Sunsail 454, I had time to think about this dichotomy as I toasted the nighttime skies of Bora Bora and specifically the Southern Cross, a constellation that never fails to hypnotize. As the Crosby, Stills & Nash (1982) tune reminds us:

…you understand now why you came this way.
