Our roots

From a Swiss valley to a Navan hillside

Our vineyard sits on the outskirts of Navan, fifteen minutes southeast of Orléans. Five thousand cold-climate vines grow on a clay-loam slope, planted between 2008 and 2011. In 2013 we transformed an old dairy barn into our winery and wine store — and opened our doors in May 2016.

We grow five varieties on the farm — Frontenac Blanc, Frontenac Gris, Frontenac Rouge, Petite Pearl and Marquette — and purchase grapes from two producers in Niagara-on-the-Lake.
