    The hop-on-hop-off format lets guests curate their own itinerary, spending as much time as they like at each stop. The bus runs every Friday, Saturday & Sunday from 9:55am until 6:30pm, with tickets priced at $55 per person.

    A major perk? Tasting fees at all JPC locations are FREE with a purchase, making the experience both flavorful and budget-friendly.

    Guests can swing by The Hatching Post to fuel up on smokehouse BBQ, or finish their day with a stop at Crown & Thieves—home to Angel Share Restaurant for dinner and an evening concert at Broken Hearts Club, a moody underground Speak Easy venue known for its intimate shows.

    “The JPC Trail Bus is more than just a ride—it’s an open invitation to explore, taste, and experience the creativity that defines Jason Parkes Customs,” says Dana Haudenschild, Director of Marketing. “The hop-on-hop-off bus concept is a unique experience enjoyed in regions around the world, and I’m excited that we’re able to bring this idea to the Okanagan—offering locals and visitors a fun, flavorful way to discover the personalities behind each of our JPC locations.”

    Now in its second year, the JPC Trail Bus, operated by Kelowna Concierge, continues to set the bar for casual, curated wine exploration in the Okanagan Valley. With five unforgettable stops and countless tasting moments, it's the perfect way to dive into all that Jason Parkes Customs has to offer.
