Coming to you with a local coffee recommendation for National Coffee Day: Craft 42 Roasters.

Based in Kelowna, Craft 42 focuses on small-batch roasting and takes a more hands-on approach to coffee, including guided tastings and coffee flights for anyone who wants to learn more about coffee or get into the details.

A good one to know if you like your coffee local — and taken seriously.

How far can you go without a connection from Kelowna?

Quite a bit farther than you might think.

YLW currently offers direct service to 21 destinations across Canada, the U.S. and Mexico — from Vancouver and Toronto to Seattle, Cancún and Puerto Vallarta.

And here’s a fun fact: YLW is Canada’s ninth-busiest airport, welcoming 2.3 million passengers.

With Ottawa joining the network in 2026, getting from the Okanagan to the rest of the country continues to get easier.

*Some routes are seasonal. Flight schedules are subject to change.

Car enthusiast heaven. This Shuswap lake property boasts a 80' x 23' garage, giving it room for a serious collection, with additional space for RV parking and all the toys that come with lake life.

And when the cars are parked, there’s still 150 feet of Shuswap shoreline, a 90-foot custom dock and a 34' x 24' boathouse waiting outside.

What’s defining luxury real estate in 2026?

It’s not just size, finishes or a trophy address. According to Engel & Völkers Private Office, three priorities are showing up again and again with high-end buyers around the world:

1. Outdoor living
More connection to gardens, terraces, water, views and the surrounding landscape.

2. Smarter space
Less focus on simply having more square footage, and more on how well a home actually functions.

3. Privacy
Seclusion, security and a greater sense of retreat are becoming increasingly valuable.

The findings come from 160 Private Office advisors across 21 countries, and I’m proud to be part of that global network.
