Wine Tasting at Home – Arrowleaf

Posted on August 4, 2011 by Jeff & Tara

We had a chance to tour the Arrowleaf winery a few weeks ago on a trip from Vernon (view the blog) to a friend’s place in Kelowna (view some photos). We used to love Arrowleaf vineyards and stopped in many times on the way from Salmon Arm to Kelowna. We hadn’t been… Read More →

Wine Tasting at Home – Quails’ Gate Old Vines Foch

Posted on February 21, 2011 by Jeff & Tara

I’ll start by saying that Quails’ Gate wine is one of our favourite wineries in the Okanagan. In particular we regularly enjoy the Pinot Noir. The Stewart Family purchased the wineries land in 1956 and it sits on the shores of Okanagan Lake in Kelowna, BC. The area of land is most… Read More →
