Gate 22 Winery (formerly Cavallo Winery) opened in 2019 with an uncompromising dedication to the art of wine-making. Unlike many British Columbia wineries, Cavallo imports their fruit from select vineyards in California, including some located in the much-coveted Napa Valley. Their idea was to choose fruit from microclimates best suited to each particular varietal and style of wine, in turn creating wines with flavour profiles that are full-bodied, ripe fruit, lush tannins and very approachable … and drinkable. And the international influences don’t stop there. The grape press is German, the bottling line is Italian, the tanks were built in British Columbia, and their barrels hail from France. Book a tour with the winery's knowledgeable staff and learn all about the process, from grape to glass. And for those that fall in love with their wine, you can join the Gate 22 Wine Club and enjoy special wines created solely for club members.
Editorial Review
Gate 22 Winery feels like a neighbor who happens to make ridiculously good wine. Step through heavy wooden doors into a warm tasting room and you instantly know this is run by people who love what they do. The cellar doubles as a convivial event space where bridal parties crank a boombox and staff transform a tasting into a proper celebration. Hosts like Kelly and Sasha lead with charm and knowledge, guiding you from structured reds to a dangerously good dessert wine that many walk out with, sometimes signed. Locals drop in to buy bottles and linger; visitors find themselves swept into long conversations about the grapes, the region, and the craft. It’s not a vineyard showpiece but a community anchor that stitches Fraser Valley fruit to Surrey tables. Expect polished service without pretense, rustic touches in the decor, and a tasting experience that feels both curated and personal. Perfect for small group gatherings, special-occasion buys, or anyone who wants wine with a story.
