It all began in early 1983 when founder Adolf Kruger purchased a barren piece of land east of Okanagan Falls. Adolf first planted Riesling and Gewurztraminer which he quickly secured a contract to sell the grapes to Mission Hill Winery. In the late eighties Adolf and two other parties formed a plan that would allow smaller wineries to make wine using grapes grown on site. After much lobbying and persistence the farm gate winery was born in British Columbia. Wild Goose Winery was the seventeenth winery to be established in British Columbia in June 1990. The winery started producing Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Marechal Foch. Over time Wild Goose established itself as one of the premium small producers of VQA wines.
