Quails Gate Winery
West Kelowna, Okanagan Valley · winery
Veil Tier: Veil Exceptional (✦✦✦)
125 acres of estate vines, a heritage log home restaurant, and lake views that define Okanagan wine country
Quails Gate has operated on its West Kelowna site since 1989, when the Stewart family began the long process of understanding what their 125 acres of Okanagan hillside vineyard could produce. More than three decades later, the answer is comprehensive: award-winning Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, a farm-to-table restaurant ranked among Canada's top 100 most romantic by OpenTable for 2026.
Veil Verdict
Quails Gate is the Okanagan wine estate that best represents what the region looks and feels like to someone arriving for the first time and wanting the most complete expression of wine country culture: award-winning wines grown on a family estate with a lake view, served in one of Canada's finest wine-country restaurants, in an atmosphere that is sophisticated without being inaccessible. It earns its place in the guide through consistency of purpose and quality of execution.
