Alvento Winery is producing old world-wines on a 16 acre waterfront site in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub-appellation of the beautiful Niagara Peninsula. The winery was founded by Bruno and Elyane Moos, who are master winemakers. They spent 15 years growing and producing wines in Tuscany, Italy. They moved to Vineland in 2001 and began planting a vineyard. Their first vinate was in 2006

The Moos have since retired. The 13.4-acre vineyard is now owned by Zhang’s family. Vidal, Baco Noir, and Marquette are the main grapes grown. They have a newly renovated tasting room.

The winery's name, "Alvento," is derived from the Italian word for "in the wind," symbolizing the winery's dedication to crafting aromatic and fruit-forward wines. Following its recent revitalization in 2018, Alvento is committed to producing wines that embody the essence of its rich history and name.

Been postioned close to Lake Ontario the vineyards benifit from the winds creating a unique climate with ample growing conditions for vines, with its warm days and cool nights.

The winey produces around 3000 cases of wine each year, everything from sparkling wines, clean whites, classy rich reds, and fruit-forward, delicate icewine.
