Winemaker Angela Kasimos

Angela Kasimos is a Newfoundland girl making her mark in the world for her winemaking skills. Angela is the winemaker at one of Ontario's oldest and highly respected wineries Hernder Estate. She was raised in the food industry and her curiosity of the industry continued to grow. Her parents are restaurant owners.

She studied Biochemistry at Memorial University, while there Angela took a food science course which peaked her interest in Winemaking and set her on the path to Brock University. Following her graduation from Brock University’s Enology and Viticulture program, she began working with Riverview Cellars Estates winery. It was during her seven years there she not only developed her skills, but consistently won prestigious awards including the Lieutenant Governors award for her 2012 Cab Franc and a Cuvee Gold award for best white wine for her 2010 gewürztraminer.

Following her time with Riverview Cellars, Angela moved to Small Talk winery where she produced cider for the first time. Though cider is very similar to winemaking, it does pose its own set of challenges. The cider was made from fresh apples where most companies use juice, using fresh apples made it more difficult as it was hard to maintain consistency as raw materials vary.

Hernder Estate Wines

Hernder Estate Winery is a generations old family business in the heart of Niagara wine country.

The Hernder family has transformed a love of viticulture into one of the largest family Estate winery operations in Canada.

Fitness, food, wine and family are the terms that can be used to describe Hernder Estates new winemaker, Angela Kasimos.. Angela’s passion for all things wine and Cross Fit make her a dedicated individual who strives to be successful in all her endeavours.

Fitness is as important to Angela as wine is. When she is not at work, she can be found in the gym challenging her own personal goals and many of her friend’s goals as well. She often takes part in fitness challenges and weight lifting competitions for charity and fun. An early riser, Angela likes to make the most out of her day by working, exercising, spending time with her dachshund Ellie and ensuring she checks out the latest restaurants or food festivals with friends. She list chocolate as her favourite food!
