Visited this beautiful vineyard last September and had lunch at their restaurant. Food was delicious. Only compliant was that we had to wait 30 min for a table even though the restaurant was half empty.
This place is one of the more picturesque wineries in the area. The complimentary wines weren't 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.
Amazing winery, bay far one of the best ones in Kelowna. If you re doing a wine tour make, make sure this one is on it. Amazing views, wines, and staff makes a it a one of a kind memorable experience. We visited 4 wineries in our tours, we purchased 3 bottles from here and none from the others. Great job guys!
Fantastic wine, fantastic view, fantastic staff. What more can I say. Even though the indoor part isn't dog friendly, the hostesses were kind(and happy) enough to watch my pup while we tasted wine. Will come back in the future for the restaurant.
Great food, wonderful service and very reasonable prices.
The wine pairing lunch was amazing! Great service from Anthony, Alex in the kitchen made an amazing 5 course meal and even the trainee Vito impressed! Would highly recommend! :-)
The wines were pretty fantastic for the most part.
Chenin Blanc and the Old Vines Foch are a must.
The food was over sold. My lamb had more fat than meat and the vegetables were 90% tomatoes and one carrot and one bean.
The pork two ways was 1/2 good. The other half was very dry and hard to swallow.
Our service was decent, but once it started getting a bit busy, we were pretty much ignored.
I would return to see the beautiful grounds and buy some wine, but I would pass on a meal.
We were really looking forward to our lunch and left quite disappointed with our service. It took a very long time for anyone to touch our table and once our order was placed, we waited a very long time for our food. We didn't mind waiting for our food but as soon as we were finishing up our meal, our waiter rushed to drop our bill when we still had wine to finish. We had to pour ourselves the remainder of our wine to enjoy, while we were rushed to pay and settle our bill. I asked if we could enjoy the last bit of our wine and we were told, the host will let us know when the next reservation needs our table. It was very off-putting for such a beautiful place.
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.
Beautiful place with friendly, knowledgeable and passionate advisers. Thanks to Herb for the tasting
According to a rep for Wine Tasting at Quail's Gate, Grizzli winery is a much better place to visit. He said there is $160 dollar invested in that winery by a Chinese billionaire. Next time, I will visit there and recommend all of you to go to Grizzli winery instead.
Wonderful Anniversary dinner. Great wine pairings. Servers were knowledgeable and professional. Be prepared to pay the price of excellence, but it is worth it.
We felt very safe with the Covid-19 protocols in place.
By the way Quails Gate deserves all the award t gets for its wine.
I ve always had an amazing experience at Quails Gate. Specifically my last few times I went I was served by Elizabeth and Audrey in the tasting room. These women were warm friendly and personal they made the trip worth it. Keep up the good work!!
Nice people work here. Lots of nice people. The views are some of the best available on the west side of Kelowna. Good food at the restaurant too. Stop by and wander around, it's worth the effort.
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.
The best experience of my entire Kelowna trip and will incorporate into future trips here. The scenery, food and service were all impeccable! Highly recommend!
This winery bailed on a bride 5 hours before her reception, on her wedding day. First the reception site was moved into the vineyard a week prior which was fine, then revoked on day of wedding because of the chance of rain. Ever hear of arranging for tents? Your reliability, communication , and customer service are at the very bottom of the barrel. I guess agreements , contracts mean nothing to you. Shame on you for causing an extreme amount of unneccesary stress on the bride and her family on her wedding day. If the option was available, I would give no star for the rating as you don't deserve even 1.
A fantastic example of a winery in the Valley with great staff to accommodate help !
Wonderful service and breathtaking views/surroundings. Food and wine are
Very nice place you will never forget. With a good wine
Stunning and delicious! Right from the moment we walked through the door, everyone was amazing and friendly. Spacing was great. We felt safe but also away from all the covid stress. The food was amazing. The bison carpaccio was the best I have ever had. Overall experience was incredible, especially with the sunset views!
Kathy at the checkout charged us for three tasting when we spent $150 in wine between three of us. She was extremely snotty and rude and acted like she was better than us. Kathy handled the situation very poorly arguing over $20 In tastings. Having visited the winery several times in the past, I'm very disappointed in our last visit. I have never been more humiliated on my life.
Beautiful view, and the food was awesome. The portions are large, and the prices are very reasonable.
Poor customer service at restaurant. Subpar wine compared to other wineries
Mike the sommelier was great. Extremely knowledgeable
Herb was the gentleman who was our wine tasting person. He was amazing!
A bit disappointed, didn't have a very good service and the "wine educator" wasn't very enthusiastic. The wine, overrated.
The winery was beautiful and fun to walk around and explore. The steamed mussels and Parmesan fries were delicious. Highly regret getting the meat platter, it s was expensive and disgusting and there was a dead fly on it when it was brought to our table and when I brought it up to the waitress she laughed it off and walked away.
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
Rudely threw us out because we had kids (well behaved ) with us maybe?
Am not surprised some restaurants do this, but heck they had maybe 10 open tables. You know, we could have been given a corner one.
The food might be good , but how would we know
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.
Amazing!!! The food was so delicious! The staff was friendly, professional and we loved every second of our stay.
Spectacular location, world class wine, amazing staff, and a very affordable happy hour with great food!
Beautiful Winery, restaurant is delightful with fresh ingredients.
This is a beautiful winery. The ambience and the view is fantastic. The staff are so friendly and helpful. I would recommend going there first before anywhere else.
Nice winery on the lake. I bought the wine tasting ticket on the website. I paid $20 for the reserve collection. I got to the winery, and I was standing in line, and the greeter was chatting with the group in front of me. After a while she let them in and walked just by us without making any eye contact. I couldn't believe how she just ignored us. She didn't say hello. She didn't ask why we were there, or direct us to where we needed to go. We ended up walking in, but we didn't know where to go. I walked up to one of the staff members behind the counter and told him how we had purchased tickets for wine tasting, but we didn't no where to go, and how the greeter just walked right passed us without greeting us. He took us back outside and sent someone else to help us. The other lady took us to one of wine tasting counters. I liked their 2017 chardonnay during the wine tasting. The only downside is I didn't purchase it right away because I wanted to see the estate, but when I came back they wouldn't let me back in because their wine tasting room was too small, so I had to stand their and wait. After a little while, I ended up leaving.
Amazing Majestical spot. The wine was pretty bad though, very oaky and smoky reds which were flavorful but a little intense. I would say still go here though overall.
From the moment we arrived, our evening was amazing. The food with the wine pairings was delicious. Our server was professional, friendly, and made our evening very special. The setting is beautiful. I look forward to our next visit.
David was lovely and knowledgeable, he really made our tasting experience so enjoyable.
I went there for wine tasting with a big group, and they were pretty nice about accommodating us! That being said, the wines we tried were all pretty sour, and unlike most wineries around here, you have to buy two bottles to waive the tasting fee instead of one. We had a better time next door at the Hatch.
Stunning views, wonderful staff, amazing wine and food. Expect to book reservations 2-3 weeks in advance.
Beautiful winery and wine tasting experience overlooking Okanagan Lake. Also great restaurant
I came here with a group to celebrate a friend's graduation. Had a lovely time! The staff was very professional and had great white wine selection. Their salmon was alright but the steak was delicious. I usually don't like steaks but theirs were very tasty and juicy. It has a very lovely view that looks over their vineyards. Would love to go again!
We did a tasting and enjoyed the experience and the wines. Will like to come back to the restaurant.
Great wine, Great views, although its tough to enjoy the vineyard this time of year we still find joy in visiting the shop and browsing the wines they have
The view is so good and wines taste also great too! And the foods and service are awesome!! Especially the dessert!!
By far THE worst winery experience ever. The tasting (paid for), were pours of a thimble size, and no explanation given for any of the wines. I asked a few questions of the lady, who she knew nothing about the wines. The Syrah was nice, but the Pinot Gris & Pinot noir (from their premium selection), were way below par. The view was nice, but this winery was recommended, and extremely disappointing..! Go somewhere else!
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 can't get a seat at Mission Hill
Delicious food, great service. Great view and atmosphere. They have great Covid-19 protocols, including all staff wearing face masks and fully sanitizing after guests leave.
$25 for a vegan option meal with lentils, asparagus, kale and green onions.. Wow
Thanks for that
Such a joke
And thanks for making us take care of our own bill. For a classy place, I expect our bills to be separated and taken care of
Good wine, great property, however, horrendous customer service. We were here with a private tour. A Quail's Gate employee, Sara, I believe her name was kind of stand offish and rude. Was so excited to be at this winery due to all the rave reviews I've heard, and if it weren't for the good wine I would have gave this place a one star. I understand you're a big winery but you're never too big to treat your customers right.
Beautiful location and wine was good. A bit of an assembly line to get in and out, didn t feel unique, but tough to do at such a popular spot.
Best steak, greatest tasting oysters and the nicest staff in town.
Amazing experience from the moment we stepped into the winery! Highly recommended!
We really had a good time with Jennifer who was really knowledgeable. The products are great and the view is just stunning! Great experience.
Brilliant tasting. Mike was really informative and knowledgeable. My S/O and I learned a lot from the experience. Highly recommended.
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.
A female service worker from China has a very bad attitude towards people and ignores it. It s just rubbish! !
Very nice winery with friendly staff. Large selection of wines, all of which are delicious. Very nice wine tasting and a fantastic view of the lake. Here you should look over, if you are in the vicinity.
Beautiful place, amazing view, great wine, and top class restaurant
Drove 5 hours to enjoy the second best winery destination in Kelowna. Got very disappointed with the dining experience. Sloppy service, and the restaurant manager walk by without acknowledgement. Server were very reluctant to check in and follow up after serving each dishes. Not as good as I thought from Facebook recommendations. Expect poor service and overprice food.
Exceptional time spent one afternoon participating in the Scenic Sensory Experience with Bill, who was more than fantastic in his passion and stories regarding wine and his time in the business. Would definitely go again the next time we are in Kelowna.
Today we visited Qual's Gate! It was amazing winery!!! Beautiful romantic place with great wine and food!!! Servise was very good!!!! I will recomend this place 100%!!!
The scale of this winery is one of the biggest in the West Bank. However, I felt chilled there because you can walk around there without interference.
It s wine shop and restaurant are busy, so be prepared.
This is my favorite winery in the Okanagan. Everyone is so friendly and kind. And the wines are so remarkable here. Anyone who visits Kelowna in the Okanagan needs to stop by for a wine tasting and friendly staff and atmosphere.
My boyfriend and I had a really upsetting experience here over the weekend. We first did wine tasting (4 for $5) and then walked around to look for the wines we wanted to purchase. The cashier who was an older man would not stop watching us the entire time that we were shopping as if he thought we were shoplifters. It made me incredibly uncomfortable and I can t help but feel that we were racially profiled. We were the only minorities (including employees and customers) in the shop at the time and the ONLY people being watched like hawks. He was so distracted watching us even when he was helping other customers. Anyways we eventually chose the bottles we liked and walked up to the cashier and paid for them. He was still unfriendly towards us as we paid.
After this I went to Mission Hill and had a much friendlier and happier experience. Not to mention that it s a stunning place! I would not recommend visiting Quail s Gate. Especially if you are a minority.
Fantastic menu and ambiance. The staff were extremely friendly and managed to fit us in last minute. The Dessert menu is to die for. Prepare to be speechless several times throughout dinner. In the best way.
Beautiful place with outstanding views, flexible in terms of reservation, outstanding wines! What's makes the place truly amazing is their personnel - professional and friendly.
The winery itself was beautiful, as we were greeted with sunshine and grapevines being watered. Added to that the sparkling lake beaming by the side of the winery added an unspoken tranquil to the beauty of that all. I did not eat at the resturant, so cant post any reviews regarding that, but the sight seeing was worth it.
Restaurant review: Quails restaurant continues to be number 1 in the Okanagan vs about 7 wineries where we have had full dinners. Nice views (like all) but the emphasis is on truly fine cuisine and impeccible service. Reasonable markup on wines in restaurant, unlike several other winery restaurants. Our 3rd visit in 5 years and superb each time.
Lovely winery with gorgeous views and photo ops. Nice restaurant.
Setting and servers were lovely but the food was so disappointing!! We were expecting way more flavor than what we got for such a seemingly high quality restaurant and price. We got the steak and two seafood fettuccini s. The steak was alright not that great but the tomato sauce for the fettuccini was watery and flavorless unfortunately. And if you buy a bottle of their own wine to have at the restaurant corkage is another $25 for their own wine!!
We had lunch there and it was absolutely wonderful. Our server (Sandrine) was so friendly and efficient, she really made the experience great! I can't speak to the rest of the menu but the Orecchiette pasta was potentially the most delicious pasta I've ever tasted.
We went on the "taste the estate" tour. The winery is so beautiful and relaxing. Our tour guide was so nice and let us ask all the questions we wanted. The tour taught us a lot about wine history, production and distribution. If we are back in kelowna we will take another tour here for sure!
Cheers to Herb! He was lovely and personable.
The view and atmosphere is amazing.
We bailed on dinner, nothing on there for the average person.
Heartily recommended.
A great end to an afternoon of winery tours that certainly exceeded my expectations.
Planning your visit ahead is key to getting the best value from this beautiful winery; and Quails' Gate have the process well tuned to ensure you get the best experience.
As always, customer service can make or break the experience - thank you Jennifer for leading the tour and for clearly answering all my questions.
Herb is so wonderful and took great care of us! Fantastic wines too.
Pierre is the single best, person to enjoy your wine tasting at Quail's Gate with. The view from property, is breathtaking, and second only to the extrodinary Foch wines! A must visit location. Exceptional job Quail's Gate for a decade running.
We had a wonderful experience today at Quails Gate winery. Lark was so knowledgeable & so very friendly. I would not hesitate to take our family for a wine tasting tour when they come at xmas.
They also had some beautiful pottery on display by Terri Paul.
