About Us

Dave Gartley began making wine from grapes and beer from barley at home. He would tactfully convince his family to vacate the house every Sunday so he could brew up a storm. Once his recipes were developed, he started entering competitions, and did exceptionally well, gaining recognition locally, provincially, federally, and even internationally. Be sure to check out all the medals and trophies next time in the store.

In 1998 Dave traveled to England to study brewing under some very prestigious brew masters. In 2000, he studied to become a British Columbia Wine Judge. Making wine is both an art and a science, and it fits his interests and personality perfectly. Dave is always striving to make every wine, the best wine he ever made.

Gartley Station is an extension of Dave’s passion. He and his staff offer the best products available, and the knowledge and expertise required to ensure you bring home a truly outstanding wine. Gartley Station prides itself in being the cleanest and best equipped facility in the industry.

If you haven’t tried Gartley Station, but you love wine, give them a go. Your only commitment is 5 minutes to add the yeast, and 20 minutes to bottle your finished wine. You make the mess; they clean it up! You will be assisted every step of the way in producing a wine you will enjoy and be proud to serve to family and friends.
