From peaches to VQA grapes

Amid the splendour of scenic Summerland, BC, located on the Bottleneck Drive, our family-run vineyard and winery opened its gates on August 12, 2011. Since then, we have gained a reputation for producing delicious award-winning wines.

In the heart of Summerland lies a place so peaceful and alluring, that it can only be described as “heaven on earth”. This is how our name was born.

Once a peach orchard, Heaven’s Gate Estate Winery is now home to our handcrafted, small-batch wines made from 100% BC VQA grapes.

With a passion and drive to develop premium wines, we pay close attention to every detail required to make one of kind wines that reflect our truly unique terroir. Whether you enjoy the taste of a spicy Gewürztraminer, a boldly-oaked Merlot with black cherry and blackberry flavours or the sweet vanilla bouquet of our estate-grown Gamay Noir, you are sure to find the perfect wine for your palate.

The volcanic soils of Giant Head Mountain, our hot summer days and the lake breeze that consistently rolls through our vineyard, help to create a distinct experience trapped in every bottle just waiting to be released.

We invite you to visit us and see what we are all about. In fact, why not bring a picnic lunch and relax by our beautiful fountain? We’ll even supply the wine.
