Quails’ Gate Winery

Quails’ Gate Winery grows grapes at West Kelowna, in the Okanagan Valley appellation of British Columbia. It dates its founding to 1989.

Where it sits

Quails’ Gate Winery is at West Kelowna, and its fruit falls inside Okanagan Valley, one of the recognised growing areas of British Columbia. What a geographic claim means on a label differs by province — the Canadian wineries page sets out how.

What it grows

The winery works with Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, Maréchal Foch, Gewürztraminer, Riesling, Pinot Gris, Chasselas, Chenin Blanc and Pinot Meunier.

Where a grape has a page here, it covers how that variety behaves in Canadian conditions: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches, and where it is planted.

Vineyard area: 160 acres.
