Liz McKinney is the proud owner and operator of Buzz Wine Tours, providing a refreshed and innovative boutique approach to wine touring the Okanagan.
A little history
Liz McKinney hung up her radio microphone in 2015 after more than 30 years as one of Canada’s most successful rock radio DJs and a pioneer for women in radio. She transformed her passion for people and entertainment into a highly successful wine tour company called Sip Happens Wine Tours, which she founded and then sold at the end of 2019. The company thrives to this day and her legacy in wine touring lives on.
Fast forward ten years, and the wine industry has faced numerous challenges. COVID-19, a reduction in tour group sizes at vineyards, changes in short-term rental policies, and the impacts of climate change have all made a significant impact. As we move into the spring of 2025, the vineyards and the wine tour industry are experiencing yet another wave of unprecedented changes.
Buzz Tours is revolutionizing the touring experience with our concept of “Untethered Touring.” You can choose the vineyard tastings you want to experience or opt for none at all.
That’s the essence of The Buzz!
