Seminars and company events
Quails' Gate takes business meetings, seminars and corporate retreats for groups of 10 or more at its winery in West Kelowna, on the west side of Okanagan Lake in British Columbia. It suits small groups: the largest figure the winery publishes is 36 guests for a reception.
The Stewart Family Room is the main meeting space. It works as an all-day meeting room with full audiovisual equipment and conference calling, and it has wide views over the estate. Breakfast, lunch or dinner can be served in the room. For a client evening, the Stewart Family Private Library hosts private five-course dinners paired with estate wines for 8 to 14 guests, looking down on the barrel room. Teams that cannot travel can book a hosted virtual tasting, and the winery runs a corporate gifting program for clients and staff.
Weddings and receptions
The estate hosts rehearsal dinners, receptions of up to 36 guests and private elopements, with several event spaces to choose from on the property. Couples who want to stay on the estate can book one of the two lakeside houses for family or the wedding party.
Rooms and capacities
Three formats are published for private events. The Stewart Family Room serves dinners, meetings and seminars; the winery does not give its capacity. The Stewart Family Private Library seats 8 to 14 for a set dinner. Wedding receptions take up to 36 guests across the estate's event spaces, and private events start at 10 guests.
Accommodation
The winery rents two houses on the lakeshore at the foot of its vineyards. The Lake House has four bedrooms and three bathrooms for 10 guests, a 140-foot dock with a boat lift, a hot tub, a steam shower, a fireplace, a fire pit, a chef's kitchen and parking for eight vehicles. The Nest, a renovated Stewart family home beside the Green Bay wildlife sanctuary, has three bedrooms and sleeps seven, with a private beach, lawns, wildlife trails and a deck with a hot tub. A concierge can book restaurant tables, private tours and tastings, water toys and shuttles.
Catering
Old Vines Restaurant, on the estate, serves contemporary food built around the estate's wines and sourced from local farms and suppliers. It offers a five-course tasting menu each evening from 5 pm and brunch at weekends, and library dinners are booked through the restaurant. The Market, a café on site, sells pastries, soup and sandwiches from Wednesday to Sunday, and the wine shop is open from 11 am to 6 pm.
History and setting
The vineyards run down to Okanagan Lake, and the Stewart family name marks the meeting room, the library and The Nest. The 2026 harvest began on August 26, the earliest start in the winery's history, and ended on October 26. Guests at the lake houses have direct access to the water, with a dock at The Lake House and a beach at The Nest.
Getting there
The winery is in West Kelowna, across the lake from Kelowna. Kelowna International Airport is the nearest airport, and the concierge can arrange shuttles for guests staying in the lakeside houses.
