About Glenmore Liquor Store
Summit Drive climbs the shoulder of Dilworth Mountain, and the handful of shops along it serve a hillside pocket of Kelowna where most errands otherwise mean a run down to the valley floor. Glenmore Liquor Store sits at 1928 Summit Drive, which puts a bottle shop within easy reach of the surrounding streets rather than at the far end of a trip to Harvey Avenue.
Liquor stores in British Columbia all work inside the same narrow set of rules and still differ a great deal from one another. Some lean hard toward Okanagan wine and stock deeply from producers within an hour of the door. Others give most of their floor to cold beer, cider and ready mixed cans, and a few build a serious spirits wall. Selection, cold storage space and whether staff will bring in a case of something they do not normally shelve are all fair questions at the counter. Special orders for a wedding or a large party usually need several days of lead time, so ask early rather than the afternoon before.
There is a site at glenmoreliquorstore.com if you want a look before heading up the hill. Parking on the hillside commercial strips is generally easier than anything downtown, and the drive from Glenmore or the north end of the city takes only a few minutes outside the afternoon rush. Summers in the central Okanagan are long and hot, demand for chilled product climbs with the thermometer, and a phone call ahead is the sensible move if you need real quantity for a boat day or a backyard crowd.
