I stopped by for lunch earlier this week... The food was absolutely amazing, and the view from the patio while eating was beautiful!Staff was very friendly, and it was an amazing experience.After enjoying a delicious meal, you can walk around the property and experience the views!Definitely recommend!
A nice winery with an absolutely gorgeous view. The wine is good, the view is just the cherry on top! They have a great selection from reds to whites as well as a rosé option. The prices are fair and theres even a little restaurant you can stop to grab a bite to eat on. But back to the landscaping, its beautiful and grabbing a bottle of wine just to take it all in is well worth it. The wines are closer to a dry selection and a must-try for the more seasoned wine lovers.
I really enjoyed my experience here. Started with a very well made old fashion. Follows by a wonderful starter plate. Enjoyed a very tasty wine and both chacutery boards. Cheese was very tasty and the meat one was wonderful with very tasty sweet picked food. Enjoyed the salmon dish which also very well prepared and the side of rice on the plate was delicious. Staff was friendly and engaging. Would recommend this place. Price was up but both portions and taste I believe were fair for the experience. View of vineyard and stroll to beach was lovely.
My husband and I know nothing about wine, but the scenery was beautiful and the service from Lark was outstanding! She really taught us a lot about how to taste wine and was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had a great time and would highly recommend Quails Gate!(Please note it was unfortunately a very smokey day before judging the view in the photo! Still pretty though!)
Truly an amazing culinary experience. Service was very good and prompt and polite. Ambiance was dim lighting with fireplace yet a contemporary flair. Food, excellent. Tasted fresh and plated beautifully. Staff here, pat yourself on the back for a 5 star experience.
My friend and I went for a wine tasting expecting great things having tried their wines in the past and having had great experiences at other wineries. Not only was the wine terrible (we weren’t the only ones unhappy - others were dumping it out too), but our “experience” was supposed to be 45 minutes (barely 30), they weren’t paying much attention to us, and at the end we asked to try an item that we hadn’t yet paid for and they came over demanding payment before we had even finished drinking it. Overall terrible experience and will never go back.
So I visited this place in June for a lunch date, the view was so mesmerizing, the ambience and the wine made our day even special! 🍷Great customer service!!I’m allergic to egg, so they made sure whatever was being prepared for me was without egg and took the respective measures!The best part was dessert! Egg free and still yum! 😌👍🏻Had a great time here, will be back!
We wanted to come for the wine tasting but arrived half an hour before closing and was told it was too late. We were able to go into the store though to check out the wines and ended up purchasing three bottles.Although we didnt get to try the tasting, I loved the view of the vineyards and Kelowna landscape in the back.
Dinner at Old Vines was excellent!38° day in the height of August. We were unable to get reservations last minute so we chanced a walk in. Just as we were going to grab a glass of wine, they had a cancellation and we were able to get in immediately much to our delight. Everything was perfect start to finish followed by a walk down the hill to catch the sunset. Highly recommend!
So its a hot hard to write a review about our yesterday experience but no harm to share a little bit of thatThe winery was perfectly beautiful... They did a great job on making sense that force you to stop and take another photoThe tasting experience, on the other hand, was not so enjoyable... It was crowded and we werent comfortable, as there were lots of do and dont related to what you paid for (just the tasting) and the others!I like places with a sense of being local, but here had a touristy style, which I am not a fan!The wine is always GREAT tho 🤤 I love the Rose,’ and its my fav among Okanagan wines.
I’ve been to Quail’s Gate twice, once on my honeymoon and then second with a group of friends. Both times I had a lovely experience. The food lives up to the price, though I do wish the portions were a bit bigger. The view of the vines from the restaurant is absolutely gorgeous, and the staff are very professional and friendly. I will definitely push my husband to take me again when we’re in Kelowna next.
I went here for a tasting and had a lovely experience. All of the staff is extremely educated on wine production and tasting. I didnt have one bad wine out of the six I tried. I would have bought even more wine, but I will be joining the wine club instead. This will definitely be a spot to return to.
Overall, the winery has great views and decent wines. But, unfortunately, the wine tasting experience we had was not even close to the experience we had had in other surrounding wineries. Both times there, we felt the staff members were pushing us to rush and didn’t provide any knowledge of the wines or history of the Winery. Sorry, Quails Gate… I won’t be revisiting again.
Made a reservation 2 months in advance because I know that it books up especially in the height of Summer.Made a note that we were celebrating our 15th Wedding Anniversary that day, and asked to be seated on the patio, as we know that the views are spectacular for a romantic dinner. - We are from Vancouver, and were staying in Okanagan Falls, but made the extra hour long drive to Kelowna especially for this dinner (and so my husband could purchase a couple bottles of his favourite wine, the Old Vines Reserve Foch)There is a whole section of shady patio, and then a strip of patio that is in full-sun. Was asked by hostess if we minded sitting in the sun, or rather inside. As I specially requested patio, 2 months in advance, I said the patio was fine. Well on a 30+ day, the full-sun patio was unbearable. The sun was beating down and reflecting off the glass table, blinding us and making it even hotter. Im fanning myself with the menu card and can not even see my husband in the glare off the table. There are a few tables in the shaded area, but were told those are reserved. (I use quotation marks, because that table was not used the entire duration of our meal). I ask if we can move inside as I know I cannot enjoy our romantic dinner if Im about to pass out and cannot even see my partner across the table.Not minutes after we are moved inside, in the corner of the restaurant, blocked by two other tables to even see a glimpse of the views.....the awnings on the patio are lowered, to add more shade to the patio guests. Why was this option not offered when I told my waiter that the sun was bothering me. But now we were inside and not going to make more fuss to go back to our now semi-shaded patio table.Dinner was delicious, as expected. The Halibut was amazing! Desserts were a tad bland. We were offered a Late Harvest tasting _ not a full sipping glass _ but rather a minuscule taste, as a compliment for our Anniversary. It was a nice enough dinner, but certainly didnt feel special for our special day. If it were not for my husbands bottles of his favourite wine, we could have done without the extra hour trip north and found a similar experience elsewhere.
Amazing experience with the family. This place gives you sense of calm and freshness. The wine tasting was great, pretty good wines and several options. I’d come back to try more!
What a tough review to write...Being club members, we always had great experiences at Quails Gate. From our tastings to the restaurant, always great.However, this tasting we took part in with family - we had the unfortunate experience of meeting Donna. Normally staff at Quails Gate are friendly, welcoming, and attentive - Donna was quite the opposite. Perhaps she was having a bad day, but this should be no excuse for her to show the opposite of the previously mentioned traits. We found her to be extremely rude and short, cutting off our questions or comments in what seemed like an attempt to hurry us out.Sad to say, but as much as we love receiving our shipments - her attitude alone was enough to make us consider canceling our membership. Would strongly recommend the management to look into this, to avoid others from potentially doing the same.
We ate here on June 28th, 2020 for our wedding anniversary. Its the most beautiful location and atmosphere in all of Kelowna. We have been here many times and its always consistent. Gorgeous gardens and incredible food and wine. The staff were wonderful as well, not stuffy but friendly and professional.
We are group of four and had a wine testing here with Mr. Herb. Mr. Herb is knowledgeable with the wines and we surely enjoyed his company. After the tasting we bought couple more bottles and went to their picnic tables and spend most of the time there. Overall, it was a great experience here. We will try the restaurant next when we come back.
The tasting here was above and beyond expectations, we had Anthony as our guide if you will. he was smart, funny, and a phenomenal host. when I come back I will for sure wait for him to be free.the fire baked pizza was also a great addition. its very highly recommended.
Good atmosphere! Nice food presenting! Overall is very good and worth the price. I love the duck breast with the blueberries. I would definitely come back to this place again!
Hubby and I were looking for a date night dinner tonight and quails gate did not disappoint us!!! The food was incredible, our steaks were done to perfection and everything was bursting with flavour. Our waitress, Cathrine was perfect, friendly and helpful.The views were spectacular, the music and ambience was romantic and relaxed.I can’t wait to come back!!
Truffle fries was average . The preparation of the fries were not up to standard. The squid appetizer was great with nice mixture of colours and flavours. It can use a little more contrasting flavours. As for flank steak, the cut of the meat can can be a little better where the meat will be more tender. Pork cheek was braised well. It is soft and tender. The side ingredients of the pork cheek was flavourful and the broth was good. I would suggest adding a touch more flavour to the pork cheek. Dessert is above average.Food 7.5/10Service 8.5/10Ambiance 8/10Value 7.75/10
Old fashion, very clean, very professional, beautiful location and view. Fantastic food and wines! Workers are well treated here!
Grab a real pizza in the garden with a bottle of rosé, thats what life is all about!
Paulo was absolutely amazing and so knowledgeable. He was so kind and you could really tell that he loves what he does. He made our experience unforgettable, thank you Quails Gate!
Gorgeous place to dine! We were seated in the outdoor area, with a beautiful view of the vineyard. Food was great, service was wonderful too! After dinner you also have the possibility to stroll through the vineyard area. The view is amazing!
We had great recommandations from Paulo. He was very kind and we had a lot of fun doing the wine tasting. The wine is amazing and there was a great variety of tastes.
Came for the wine pairing lunch. A fantastic experience. Vitto was very helpful in greeting us and taking us for some additional wine tastings before the event. Anthony was great in explaining each wine along with the accompanying dish. Fantastic meal. Only complaint was the size of each dish. I wanted more! Highly recommended.
Its simply one of those places you gotta hit once in your life... Just do it... stop looking for other reviews
Wonderful all round experience at Quails Gate Winery. Every member of staff was so helpful and accommodating. Emma on the host stand for the The vines restaurant was just fantastic at her job as well as being very welcoming. The restaurant staff were great and the commraderie among team members was palpable as they really worked together to ensure an amazing experience. Food was top class. The wine tasting was exceptional and informative. The setting, scenic views and atmosphere in this winery is the best in the west Kelowna region.
Beautiful scenery accompanied with great food! The wine tastes wonderful.
Had a tasting and tried for two days straight to book a table at the restaurant. Seems as though there is an issue with them answering the phone. Upon arrival for the tasting, the patio was completely empty, and they were not sitting guests on the patio due to “health and safety of their staff”. During the tasting, we saw 5 tables being sat on the patio. Following the tasting, asked again if there was any space and they were allowing those with a reservation to choose inside or outside but not filling the remaining seats, leaving 50% of the capacity un-seated. Knowing that people travel to see your winery, purchase an overpriced tasting, and leave with hundreds of dollars of wine, I think there is a grand opportunity for a lesson in customer service.
A very enjoyable wine tasting. We popped by on a whim without a reservation and the staff was able to accommodate our group. I tried two whites and two reds, and fell in love with Queue. The views were gorgeous - went to their patio and vineyards for photos afterwards. A lovely time.
Wonderful tasting (Thank you Herb) with breathtaking views. Headed over to the restaurant shortly after for the most incredible dinner. The Bison carpaccio was mouthwatering !
Great service, great wine, great meals. We enjoyed every moment of our evening.
Love this vineyard. Great wine but if you are in kelowna you need to stop at the restaurant and grab lunch. Food is great.Make a reservation, go early for some wine tasting and then get lunch. Lots of free parking.Seating is indoor/outdoor and has a view of the grape vines and lake.
Very nice place you will never forget. With a good wine
Lovely winery, great food and awesome service.It’s was fantastic that we got to walk through the winery and have lunch at restaurant. The food was plated well and very tasty. It was quick to get a table even on a busy long weekend.Would love to visit again the next time I am in Kelowna.Short drive from the city and it was worth visiting. The view was tremendous.
Anthony is the sweetest best wine tasting host. 11/10 would recommend! Great dude, funny, super knowledgeable and loves to learn more about wine. He’s awesome all around. If we’re back in the Kelowna region then we will special request him.
You wait for a tasting and then the server ends up serving another group at same time instead of focusing on 1 group at a time. Beautiful grounds though. Not as friendly as other wineries near by.
We really had a good time with Jennifer who was really knowledgeable. The products are great and the view is just stunning! Great experience.
As new to the wine tasting game, we had a wonderful time. Carley was so incredibly informative and friendly, and we recommend this winery for new and experienced wine tasters. It was also nice to be able to walk around the vineyard unattended, as some do not allow it.
Wonderful restaurant. Fantastic menu and food. Good Covid precautions in place.
Great view, food and wine. Awesome place👍
Favorite winery in Kelowna! Restaurant is amazing, events are top notch and a visit to the tasting room never disappoints! Perfect wine and great staff!
My friends and I had a wine tasting and lunch at Quails Gate as part of a Stagette weekend. Our wine tasting was nice, the staff were incredibly helpful and sweet. Our dining experience however, was a little bit strange, which is why I’m giving only 3 stars. My friend had a simple white sash on that said “bride” when we entered the restaurant. The hostesses asked her to remove it... but the lady at the table next to us was allowed to wear a large tiara for her birthday. Just a bit weird! Also, our waiter seemed nice at first but he got quite rude after he mistakenly brought us mussels instead of oysters. He blamed it on us and was very snappy! It was quite awkward because we told him we never ordered mussels but he went back and forth with us insisting that we did saying, “we never even talked about oysters.” LOL. All of us were in disbelief... he also mentioned that he was high on weed at the beginning of our service, which was funny until it seemed to affect our dining experience. The food was awesome though! I wouldn’t skip dining at Quails Gate but it’s worth mentioning that we had WAY better overall service at some of the smaller wineries like Mt Boucherie and Beaumont.
Great view and very good food!
We had a beautiful lunch at their restaurant with a wine pairing to match. The food, service, views and wine were all excellent. This is a fantastic wine tasting or lunch option
Everything was great, our waitress was awesome and helpful. Food and wine were delicious. The only thing I can complain about was the manner my daughter and I were addressed while siting down in garden chairs. It turns out it’s an actual table and we were quickly and abruptly told to go back to our own table by the host. Unfortunately it left the wonderful experience with a bitter after taste.
The restaurant is excellent! I want to come back for their high tea. I shared the arctic char and steak with my partner. Both were beautifully presented and tasty. The menu does not offer much selection, so make sure to take a look before heading up there. In terms of their wine, its not my particular fancy. I also find the service a little rushed and impersonal because they are so busy and popular. Definitely worth checking out!
Beautiful Winery, restaurant is delightful with fresh ingredients.
Go with the red wine. Rib eye was the best Ive had in a very long time. Staff are great. This is a must visit for anyone in Kelowna.
Very beautiful winery to get picture at. There is free entry if you want to walk in and see view. If you would like to taste wine than walk to the patio and you can taste wine of your choice for 20$ 4 sample with 10 dollar coupon for further purchase.
Despite the smoky weather, had a great time due to Ethans stellar service and knowledge of wines. Appreciated the prompt service and helpful tips.
We were a walk-in for wine tasting. Emma was amazing, so knowledgeable. Great experience, definitely worth a stop at this winery.
Fantastic wine, beautiful view, delicious food. Service was top-notch and overall the value is well in line with the cost. Theyll see us again.
Excellent winery to visit for a date or with family! Beautiful view of the vineyard and accomodating! Reasonable priced wine! Staffs are friendly. We enjoyed our stay everytime.
Beautiful Location, with vines you can walk into right next to the tasting room. Tasting rooms give you a fantastic view of the vines and the lake. Large selection of wines wine and red, you should find something you like.
This is one of the best wineries in the okanagan. The wine is great (the foche is the best Ive had here) and the food in the restaurant and service is remarkable. Well run establishment and the wine tasting is superb as the servers really have a deep knowledge of the craft.
Absolute best place to eat in the whole valley! The staff are always gracious, friendly and informed. Kelly is a gem. So comfortable outside even at 10 degrees. Perfection! Cornish game hen and risotto are out of this world!
One of the vineyards along the lake. Open to public for viewing and tasting. Wonderful experience
There is something special about this place. I dont know if its the people, the pinkish sky, the delicious food or dazzling views - I found this place to be relaxing and wonderful. The staff and our server were very helpful and friendly - definitely recommend this place for a special evening.
Me and my lovely partner had a great time getting to learn about wines with our tasting, especially myself as a novice.We were lucky enough to get paired with our wine tasting guide Jennifer who was so lovely and extraordinarily informative.I would definitely make the trip back for a day of tasting more wines or visiting the restaurant to complete the experience.I look forward to recommending this spot to those in need of a day to relax and explore their wine palate.
This is a really romantic place even for a lunch in winter time. Spectacular snowy mountain and lake views with really warm atmosphere. Food choices are great and truly deliciously. Price is really reasonable.
Good wineyards, beautiful place
We had not pre booked a tasting, but were told by the concierge to go to the store look around for 1/2hr and to come back at noon for a first come first serve basis. We had done what she suggested but when we came back different concierge welcomed us and suggested that we book or come back in another hour and a half.We werent able to book using the ap so my wife asked her to book one for us. She told us they didnt have that capability. Miraculously in those couple minutes there was room for us. Very pleasurable once passed the flustered concierge! Server was fantastic! This could have been a 5 star experience.
Amazing experience at Quails Gate, great views and our tasting guide made the day all that much better. Great job Ethan!
Beautiful winery with a beautiful view. Normally they have a great tasting room but this day they had a disinterested person serving us. The restaurant is quite good and I would recommend eating here if you cant get a seat at Mission Hill
Specializes in Chardonnay and Pinot noir. Great vineyard with a fantastic view of the lake. Was serviced by a gentleman by the name of Herb. He was such a blessing to talk to and made our wine tasting experience exciting and pleasant.They have great tasting wine so if you enjoy your pinot or chardonnay come on by!
Beautiful winery, delicious wine, got a really nice restaurant too.
Im a BIG fan of QG wine and the winery itself. The view is absolutely fantastic, I could sit there all day long drinking wine.
Everyone has bragged about this place to us so we thought to give it a try. Let’s start with how they never answer their phone. After multiple attempts, we were able to get a reservation for our party of 10. On the day of the reservation since restrictions had been lifted, we requested the hostess to seat us closer to each other.Managers were extremely rude about our request. Poor customer service.Food: 4/10Server forgot to bring us water and drinks.Overall an ok experience. FOR SURE will not be returning.
Came in for a wine tasting. The view is beautiful, and we enjoyed our wine, Lark was very knowledgeable. Can’t wait to come back next time we’re in Kelowna!
This place is one of the more picturesque wineries in the area. The complimentary wines werent all that tasty. But the wine that we had at the bistro with dinner was delicious. We had clams for appetizers which was mouth-watering. The trout was good but the halibut was quite bland.
