BC Food Tours launched a little over a month ago in Kelowna, B.C.

Growing up in Kelowna with a family that was keen on development, Quinn Perks knew she would one day return home to start a company of her own.

Her dad once owned the 香蕉视频直播淐ats香蕉视频直播 Cafe,香蕉视频直播 located at 210 Lawrence Ave. where Humo Izakaya is now.

After working in the Okanagan香蕉视频直播檚 hospitality industry, Perks left Kelowna several years ago to live in Ontario. Marrying her husband, John, and starting a family, the happy couple decided to look west for what was next. Soon John was offered a job at a college in the Okanagan, in his field of tourism.

That was the spark that led to , just a little over a month ago.

The pair then hit the pavement to map out different walking tours in Kelowna香蕉视频直播檚 downtown. Perks, who香蕉视频直播檚 spent years working in restaurants, knew it was important to forge relationships with the businesses and chefs at the locations they wished to have on the tours.

BC Food Tours currently has five different tours to choose from, including a foodie tour, sunset sips, brunch tour, private tour and a taste of the nation香蕉视频直播檚 fine dining tour.

香蕉视频直播淲e want to help create the culinary experience in Kelowna and make it a centre known for its food and chefs,香蕉视频直播 John says.

Feedback on Perks香蕉视频直播 concept has been positive they both say.

This has led to BC Food Tours to start up events, with the first being the on July 5 and 6, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Innovation Centre. A portion of the tickets as well as a silent auction during the event proceeds will all be going to World Children香蕉视频直播檚 Day, founded by Daniel Germain, creator of Breakfast Club of Canada, a Canadian charity that promotes and assists the establishment and maintenance of school breakfast programs across the country.
