Demi Chef de Partie

At Quails’ Gate, great wine starts in the vineyard. We take that same thinking when sourcing ingredients at Old Vines Restaurant, supporting local farmers and consciously selecting the best our region has to offer. Our philosophy is of fresh simplicity: the menu is inspired by regional Okanagan and West Coast ingredients prepared in the classical tradition. In addition, as a winery restaurant, wine is always a key starting point when a new dish is being developed at Old Vines Restaurant.

Quails’ Gate is a dynamic family company rooted in our community, who empower our people to reach their full potential. Join the Quails’ Gate team in a position of expertise or pursue a new opportunity that ignites your passion and purpose in Culinary arts.
