Together Larry Gerelus and Linda Pruegger started with a 10 acre vineyard in 1992, that was planted to Vidal and Chasselas. The winery was later constructed in 1995 after the first official crush. At that time, Stag's Hollow Winery was one of only 30 wineries in British Columbia! Beginnings were humble, with a small winery built under the wine shop and home. Initial plans were to keep things simple, producing 1500 cases annually, concentrating on Merlot, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Vidal. Over the first five years, expansion occurred due to demand and the good fortune of working with passionate growers with similar goals to grow quality fruit.

In 2011, another 18 acres of raw land was purchased 2km north of the home vineyard. Shuttleworth Creek Vineyard, named for the creek that runs through it, is home to exciting varieties from Spain and Italy, as well as a large amount of Pinot Noir. In 2019, the winery was purchased from Larry and Linda but they remained as managers, leading the team until April of 2021, when they shifted into retirement.

The Okanagan Valley is the crown jewel of British Columbia. The region benefits from a continental climate with temperature moderation by the numerous lakes. Hot summers + cold winters = great wine!
