WENDING HOME ESTATE WINERY & VINEYARD

WATCHFUL EYE WINERY

Located directly on the shore of Lake Ontario, we are a family-owned and -operated winery that opened its doors to the 17th century farm we call home in 2023. You may stop by for the wine, but you will stay for some good conversation and a story or two about our family’s incredible past. Cheers!

Wending: Travelling slowly, indirectly, yet purposefully. That’s how we make our wines. Veteran Winemaker Ron Giesbrecht and partner Huaying Feng invite you to share this experience. You can find both traditional varietals and uncommonly delicious blends here. The added meaning of “Wending”, in Cantonese: Wen ding , “to aspire to be the best”, is manifested in every wine.
