A new wave of family-operated boutique wineries in Niagara have embraced events as well as online sales to market their fine wines
Picking bins spread out for harvest of the organic pinot noir grapes grown on The Farm in west St. Catharines.In the 1990s, wine lovers looking for some of Niagara’s best bottles needed to attend open houses held at 13th Street Winery, Lailey Vineyards, Malivoire, Marynissen and Thirty Bench. Anyone with designs on getting some of Gunther Funk’s pinot from 13th Street or Derek Barnett’s syrah from Lailey planned to get to the winery early.
The Farm in west St. Catharines organizes an annual house party to sell the critically acclaimed pinot noirs produced from its organic vineyard . Registered guests taste and shop for the latest releases and, possibly, even take a dip in the pool while enjoying the Neudorf family’s hospitality.The once-a-year event was the best sales option – given that Peter and Dora Neudorf live on the 10-acre property, which was planted with pinot noir vines in 2000.
Online orders are the only option for consumers to secure some of On Seven’s tiny production of top-flight chardonnay from its Niagara-on-the-Lake vineyard.
