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 over 28 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! 🙂
An industry veteran, Berne has been a tour guide with Distinctly Kelowna Tours for eight seasons.
He focuses on customer service and hospitality and the result is a fabulous experience for everyone!
During the winter months when he is not wine tour guiding, you can find him at Big White Ski Resort where he is a ski instructor. You’re in good hands with Berne at the helm.
The young gun of the team, Nygel joined the family biz four seasons ago, and loves being out on the wine trail and showcasing the beautiful Okanagan. When he’s not touring, he teaches secondary humanities on the side, so be prepared to learn some fascinating history with Nygel as your guide 😉
