KACABA VINEYARDS & WINERY

HONSBERGER ESTATE

Honsberger Estate is set back on one of Ontario’s oldest family-run farms, located in the heart of Jordan. We have been growing premium fruit for over 200 years. The winery’s focus is Riesling and Cabernet Franc with a limited selection of sparkling wine alongside other Cool Climate varietals. In addition, we offer a seasonal outdoor patio, a winter indoor restaurant all set within a farm-to-table setting and event space on site.

In 1997, Michael Kacaba launched Kacaba Vineyards, saving prime Niagara Escarpment Benchland from a developer’s bulldozer. Today, Michael and his team craft a full range of wines, including their highly awarded estate-grown Syrah (Ontario’s oldest plantings). With a view across Lake Ontario to Toronto, guests are welcome to sample wines with multiple awards from Canadian & international competitions, including the Decanter World Wine Awards (UK).
