We’re proud to introduce our team to you… we’re here to help you create memorable experiences. When you leave your tour with a big smile, we did our job well (and when even locals tell us our tour guides shared cool information about our area and wineries they didn’t even know about, we can’t help but smile too!)
Terri Metcalfe was born here in Kelowna and raised in the Salmon Arm area. Her extended family owned property in Southeast Kelowna for as long as she can remember, so Kelowna has always been home to her.
In 1991, Terri married her best friend, Michael Metcalfe, in West Kelowna. It has been 30 years and they have four children – now grown – and all living in the Kelowna area.
Occasionally, you will see her as a tour guide on the wine trail, but her main focus is the administrative side of Distinctly Kelowna Tours and sister company, Roots & Vines Tour Co.
When you talk with her, you will soon discover that she is passionate about this beautiful Okanagan valley and what it has to offer; the incredible views, delicious food and, of course, the wine!
Mike loves the Okanagan and is passionate about the history and roots of this area. He has worked in the hospitality industry for many years; specializing in culinary arts and wine education and loves being an ambassador of the Okanagan.
His passion for hospitality shines bright and he is thrilled to meet new people; creating memorable experiences for visitors to Kelowna and area.
The verdict is in: Best host ever! 🙂
The young gun of the team, Nygel joined the family biz six seasons ago, and loves being out on the wine trail and showcasing the beautiful Okanagan. When he’s not touring, he teaches full-time, so be prepared to learn some fascinating history with Nygel as your guide 😉
Jameilo Metcalfe is the oldest of the Metcalfe children and twin to Nygel Metcalfe.
We have been asking her to work for us for years, so this summer we are privileged to have her office expertise available to us; only for a season though because she will be attending school full time in the fall.
She is friendly, funny and a joy to chat with. Oh and did I say, she is organized? Heck yes!
