COFFIN RIDGE BOUTIQUE WINERY

GEORGIAN HILLS VINEYARDS

Situated in the heart of Grey County, Coffin Ridge is a revelation for wine explorers. The modern Tasting Room opens to an elevated deck overlooking Georgian Bay and the picturesque vineyards. Winter-hardy varieties: L’Acadie Blanc, Marquette, and Baco Noir flourish here. Visit the winery to try their Back From The Dead Red (VQA), Into The Light White, Resurrection Rosé and Riesling Bone Dry (VQA) paired with a Vintner’s Plate and/or a wood-fired pizza while soaking up the magic that is all things Coffin Ridge. Private tastings by reservation.

Nestled in the picturesque Beaver Valley overlooking Georgian Bay, Georgian Hills Vineyards focuses on growing cold-hardy grape varieties that flourish within the moderating “lake effect” of Nottawasaga Bay. We are championing cool climate grape varieties such as L’Acadie Blanc, Marquette, and Maréchal Foch. We create unique wines such as our Notty Bay collection that showcases distinct and elegant cool climate grapes. Enjoy our emerging portfolio with a perfect pairing of local cheese and charcuterie on our tent-covered patio.
