LOCAL TALENT

A MISSION OF HOPE Four Ontario wineries, in partnership with LCBO, have come together to celebrate the spirit of Ukraine. “It’s about collective impact, one glass at a time,” says Rayla Myhal, co-owner of Featherstone Estate Winery. At LCBO between March 15 and April 11, $1 from each sale of the four fine wines featured here will be donated to the Canada-Ukraine Foundation. Funds raised will purchase heating equipment, blankets, stoves, and food hampers for Ukrainian families in need. Plus, the four wineries are hosting the Ukrainian Bench Tour from March 28 to 29, where guests can visit the wineries to celebrate Ukrainian food and wine, with proceeds from tickets supporting the foundation.

Nadia Senchuk.

Rosewood released their first vintages of wine and mead in 2008, but their story stretches back much further; the family have been beekeepers for more than 90 years. Their intimate relationship with their land has made them leaders in sustainability, implementing measures like integrated pest management and wild yeasts in their winemaking. “As Canadian Ukrainians rooted in Niagara, the Ukrainian Bench Tour represents a way that our wineries could create space for awareness, learning and connection in a way that felt genuine and welcoming,” says William Roman, general manager of Rosewood Estates.

Well-known and well-loved by Vintages customers, Featherstone has been under new management since 2024. After 25 years, founders Louise Engel and her winemaker husband, David Johnson, turned over the reins to Rayla and George Myhal. Featherstone’s wines have been paragons of quality, style and authenticity; a legacy the Myhals are proud to continue. “I’m a philanthropist at heart and have been a member of the Ukrainian community for two decades. I wanted to envision a way to blend my love for the land with a mission of hope,” says Rayla Myhal, co-owner of Featherstone Estate Winery. “It’s about community and being able to help support and uplift others.”

In 2011, Ilya and Nadia Senchuk established Leaning Post Wines in a part of Niagara that was not considered viable for serious winemaking. The success of their diverse portfolio has more than justified their daring choice. “Being of Ukrainian origin, the Ukrainian Bench Tour holds deep personal meaning for me and my husband, Ilya. It’s a way to honour our heritage while showing tangible support for the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Ukraine. Guests are invited to explore Ukrainian culture through thoughtfully paired food and wine while experiencing elements of Ukrainian art, storytelling and tradition,” says Nadia Senchuk, sommelier and co-founder of Leaning Post Wines.

Kacaba is focused on producing premium-quality small-batch wines of authenticity that emphasize fruit, finesse and affordability. The Kacaba Vineyard includes one of Ontario’s first significant plantings of Syrah. “When Ukraine’s third president, Viktor Yushchenko, visited Ontario in 2005, Kacaba Vineyards had the honour of hosting him. He showed a keen interest in what Ontario’s wine industry had accomplished in a short time and no doubt shared those insights as Ukraine’s own industry evolved,” says Michael Kacaba, owner of Kacaba Vineyards.
