We’re OPEN
It’s been a long road, but we’re delighted to let you know that we’re finally open. We still have some finishing touches outside and a few things to organize inside, but we have all the formal approvals we need to open our doors and sell some wine. We’ve had the pleasure of working with some fabulous carpenters, painters, plumbers, electricians, concrete people, landscapers and heavy equipment operators, to name a few.
Our church has been restored inside, refreshed outside and is still the warm inviting space we first found when we visited it in Walton. It’s amazing how a wooden structure can be a place that makes us feel we really belong. Stewart and I are hoping you will want to come to visit and see for yourself.
About the Winery
What began as a dream of simplicity became a simple dream. Find a farm, grow grapes. It evolved into a plan to grow great grapes and later to make fabulous wine. After searching province wide, we found the farm.
