About Summergate Winery
Why it stands out
Summergate Winery is a family-run Summerland winery committed to making organic Okanagan wine from estate-grown grapes in Prairie Valley. Mike and Gillian Stohler started the winery in 2009 after moving to Summerland in 2007 with a clear vision for organic farming and fresh, aromatic wines.
What to expect on a visit
The winery focuses on estate-grown organic grapes, reduced crop yields, careful canopy management, and farming without petrochemical pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Guests can expect a family-friendly, pet-friendly patio, white wines, rose, Pinot Noir, frizzante-style wines, and a casual picnic feel.
Tour planning notes
Summergate is a strong Summerland stop for guests who ask for organic wines, family-run properties, or a relaxed patio. It works well as a lighter, friendly stop in a Bottleneck Drive route, especially for groups who enjoy crisp whites and casual settings.
