The Stewart Family, a third generation pioneering Canadian wine family, first planted vines at their Okanagan Valley estate in 1961. With more than a half century of experience in viticulture and winemaking, the family appreciates the intricacies of farming premium vineyards to craft fine wine and brings together a portfolio of luxury wine brands including Valley of the Moon, Lake Sonoma Winery, Plume and Quails’ Gate Winery.
As one of Canada’s foremost family-owned estate wineries, Quails’ Gate has shaped the development of the BC wine industry for more than six decades. We believe great wines begin in the vineyards. Through our passion for grapegrowing and our dedication to excellence, we have cultivated a reputation for delivering exceptional wines that pair perfectly anytime, anywhere.
Ailm Estate strives to create wines that embody the spirit of the Okanagan Valley—honouring past traditions, challenging conventions, and continually seeking new ways to nurture nature and support our community. With a focus on strategy, culture and operational excellence, their contributions mark the latest chapter in the Stewart Family’s enduring legacy, ensuring that the values of heritage, sustainability, and innovation continue to thrive across every aspect of the estate.
Inspired by the graceful plume of a quail, Plume symbolizes the spirit of discovery and the freedom to soar beyond familiar horizons. Rooted in the Stewart Family’s rich winemaking legacy, Plume was born from an enduring spirit of discovery—an exploration of distinctive valleys, each with its own unique character and story to tell.
From the rolling vineyards of Napa and Sonoma Valleys to the untamed beauty of the Similkameen, and now venturing into the dynamic wine regions of Oregon, Washington, and California, Plume celebrates the richness of the world’s most renowned growing regions.
Lake Sonoma Winery produces wines from the esteemed vineyards of Sonoma County, a winegrowing region home to some of the most diverse terroirs and microclimates in the world. We offer a brilliant portfolio of fine wines designed to showcase the region’s unique characteristics and most celebrated varietals.
Valley of the Moon wines are steeped in the history of Sonoma Valley. Named for the translation of the Native American word Sonoma, Valley of the Moon was born in 1941. Known for producing approachable, down-to-earth wines for the rhythm of everyday life.
