Quails’ Gate Winery: A Legacy of Excellence
Four Generations of Farming Tradition
Our family’s roots in the Okanagan Valley date back to 1908, when Richard Stewart Sr. settled in the area. Over a century later, we continue to uphold our founding principles and values, blending tradition with innovation.
Pioneers in Canadian Viticulture
We proudly farm 160 acres of vineyards, featuring some of the country’s most mature vinifera plantings. Our commitment to research and improvement has established us as leaders in Canadian viticulture practices.
A Family Affair
Quails’ Gate Winery was founded in 1989 by Dick Stewart, his son Ben, and Ben’s wife Ruth. Today, the entire Stewart family is involved in crafting premium BC VQA wines that consistently exceed expectations.
