STAG'S HOLLOW WINERY Just down the street from Wild Goose Vineyards is Stag’s Hollow Winery. Calgary natives Larry Gerelus and Linda Pruegger, who were enchanted with the Okanagan Valley early on, founded it just over 10 years ago. The winery is quaint, and produces smaller quantities of each variety (under 2000 cases), focusing on quality over volume. Wines: Stag’s Hollow wines are made from grapes at its own vineyards and grapes from other growers. Here, one can get his or her hands on a bottle of Tragically Vidal- a grape variety that is (tragically) not commonly produced in BC other than for icewine. The winery has two labels- Renaissance (reserve) and Stag’s Hollow. Tastings are two dollars for four wines. The tasting room is small and stylish, with some attractive landscaping outside. Visiting Stag’s Hollow is one of the best ways to get your hands on some of the winery’s limited wines. If one of the proprietors' dogs should enter the winery when you do, don't fret- they are allowed in! |
