Quails' Gate Winery Reviews

Been coming here for 25 years. It's our favorite winery and the service from the tasting room, restaurant and tours are bar none! Highly recommend!

Great food. Best wine in Kelowna. Great service. Great location.

Beautiful winery near Kelowna in the Okanagan Valley. Views, wine, food. All excellent. Blonde lady at tasting area extremely polite and friendly.

All I can say is WOW. I came here on a whim with my wife and dad for my birthday and this place blew me away. Our waitress knew everything there was to know about the origin of the food (everything possible is sourced locally) and the wines (down to the age of the vines and exactly where in the Okanagan each is grown). Our waitress was the first highlight (thanks Michelle!) and the wines were the second. But the food - oh my, the food! I don't know where they found this chef, but he made some of the most magical dishes any of us have tried in a long, long while. Even the vegetarian options were absolutely first rate. They have a dedicated pastry chef who makes some magic of his (or her) own, with pastries just the right level of sweetness to complement a near perfect meal perfectly. Yes, the meal was expensive, but compared to other top quality restaurants in the country it was easily half the price, and just as good if not better. I highly, highly recommend Quail's gate for the service, food, and lets not forget the ambiance.

The wine was good. The white better than the reds. The food was HORRIBLE. Had the lamb and it was by far the worst lamb dish I have ever had. So over priced as well. Took an hour to get after ordered it so we were expecting it to be superb. SO DISAPPOINTING. Will never go back or recommend to anyone. We were also still hungry after eating the 50 dollar lamb. Brutal. We had our glass of wine blown over from the wind as did the woman beside us and the restaurant didnt even offer to top it up. Bad customer service. Also didnt offer a table inside after that happened.

Was really excited to try out the food and wine pairing after reading such great reviews. Went around 2pm and waited about 10 minutes at the hostess stand waiting to be seated. Had to find a staff member and ask if we were in the right areaas there was no staff around. She said there should be somebody there shortly. 5 minutes later another staff came around so we asked him. He said there's only 1 server doing all food/wine pairings and he's quite overwhelmed so it'll be about an hour. He said you'll get better service if you come back tomorrow around 11am. I felt really bad for the server as he has about 6 tables and was doing everything himself. The room was only half full and empty tables were everywhere yet they had to turn ppl away. It was a real disappointment as it looked like an amazing place to enjoy great food and wine however we did not go back the next day and probably won't return. There are way too many other top notch wineries in the area.

Knowledgeable staff, fantastic wine collection and the one of the most impressive view of the lake and valley! Highly recommended...

Second visit to Quails Gate. Absolutely a stunning location. However, the food and service does not match the location. $170 lunch for two was simply not worth the money. Great wine though.

Beautiful winery, delicious wine, got a really nice restaurant too.

One of the vineyards along the lake. Open to public for viewing and tasting. Wonderful experience

I truly don t even want to give them one star. We were supposed to go there for a tour for my friends stagette. They had confirmed our reservation twice and taken our credit card number to hold the reservation. They said as long as we didn t wear any paraphernalia we were allowed to come for the tour. Which we weren t wearing any at all. Thanks to our well organized driver he called ahead to give them the heads up that we were on our way. That s when he was given attitude and told that they have no record of our reservation. We gave them a call to ask what was going on and they had nothing to say other then they weren t going to take us in and they were happy that the driver called ahead of time or it would have been really awkward if we had shown up and they had to turn us around at that point in time. How unprofessional. Bottom line I understand if you have a policy but the fact that we confirmed the reservation at 2 different times and they took our credit card number to hold the reservation and then WAIT until we show up to turn us away is just rude and inconsiderate.
On the bright side.... we went to Hatch winery. Every wine we tried was great and the customer service was amazing! We also dropped about $700 there. We will be boycotting all Quailsgate wine and our driver will be spreading the word around as well

Tonight we celebrated a friend's birthday at Quail's Gate. Dinner was absolutely delicious and the service impeccable. Thank you Frederic!

My tour group had Sam today, he was amazing. Very knowledgeable with a great sense of humour

One of the best wineries we visited. Excellent service ! A special thank you to Andre, who presented the wine we tasted, so well with great passion. He spoke to us in French, which was extremely appreciated. Big applause for his service.

had one of my best wine experiences ever. my girlfriend and i got lucky and were able to walk up on a busy day and get in for the tasting room. Anthony and Suzanne were beyond incredible with there hospitality and accommodation and made the tasting experience so much more then just trying a few wines. beautiful location, great service, and incredible wine!

My girlfriend and I attended a tour and wine tasting and it was excellent. The views were amazing, the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The wine was great.

We had lunch at the attached restaurant and it was incredible as well.

My experience with Quail's gate is based on 1 wine-testing and 2 dinners at their restaurant.
First experience wine-tasting was good. They charge $5 fee if you don't buy any wine and waive the fee if you end up buying some wine. I bought a bottle of Pinot Gris and a bottle of Merlot.
Based on positive wine-tasting experience we made a reservation for a dinner. Dining facility is very well laid out and the servers well-groomed and charming. The food was tasty and I had two glasses of wine with my dinner. Two hours later I didn't feel well and spent all next day in the bed, and cleansing my system.
Obviously I am not a quick learner, since repeated the same experience the following year. BTW I think it was wine, not food.
In my opinion, no wine in the world worth one and half day suffering.
Since then I pass on Quail's gate winery.

Awesome lunch with amazing wine! S/o to our waiter Jorden who was super nice and took great care of us

Did the pairing tasting where they pour 3 or 4 glasses of different wines and include 3 or 4 different types of foods that complement each glass of wine. Great experience. Eating the food with the wine really brings out different flavours that you don't get with a basic tasting, plus the view is great.

Food was exquisite. Service was not as good. Everyone was polite and pleasant, but not attentive enough. Had to ask for water, no cutlery when main course arrived. Reservation was messed up. We will return to give the staff another chance.

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.

What an amazing place! The food and wine pairings are fantastic! And a spectacular view.

My wife and I went there for dinner last night. Beautiful setting, excellent food, excellent wine, excellent service. One of our favourite places in the Okanagan.

Love their wines. The food was delicious highly recommended lunch here. The staff were amazing
