A family-run
winery with a single objective in mind - to make high quality, hand-crafted
wines from locally grown grapes. We're serious about our wines, but we know
that a memorable journey isn't complete without a welcoming and comfortable
atmosphere
A small family winery perched
on the rocky edge of the Niagara Escarpment's upper bench. owned by Jayne and Sean Douglas The name was choice
as they are on Ridge Road, they liked the alliteration and the fact
that it clearly identified their location. The farm has been in Jayne's family
since 1875 after consultation to see if the land could be used to grow
grapes they purchased the property from Jayne's Grandmother .
The farm was purchased 1994, the land was cleared and grape planting begun.
For 10 years the grapes were sold to amateur winemakers and small wineries.
In 2007 they fermented their first commercial vintage which consisted of
Cabernet Franc, Baco Noir, Chardonnay, Vidal and our Vineridge Blend. The
retail store opened in September of 2009.
