About Quails Gate Winery
Why it stands out
Quails Gate Winery is a landmark West Kelowna estate run by the Stewart family, a fourth-generation Okanagan farming family whose roots in the area go back to 1908. The family planted its first vines in 1961 and founded Quails' Gate Winery in 1989, helping shape the region's modern premium wine identity.
What to expect on a visit
Guests can expect estate vineyards, lake views, mature vinifera plantings, tastings, and Old Vines Restaurant, one of the area's signature wine-led dining experiences. The winery farms 160 acres of vineyards and emphasizes grape growing, research, innovation, and consistent BC VQA quality.
Tour planning notes
Quails Gate is a reliable West Kelowna route anchor for groups that want a classic Okanagan winery experience with food, scenery, and a long farming story. It is especially useful for mixed groups because the restaurant, views, and wine program all give guests several reasons to enjoy the stop.
