Windrush Winery

The Windrush chateau is located in the small community of Palgrave located aboyt 50 Km northwest of Toronto. Palgrave is situated on the Moraine, a 160-kilometre (99 mi) long ridge of hilly terrain created by retreating glaciers depositing large quantities of sand and gravel sediments

The winery is owned by Marilyn Field along with her husband JC Penne and their son Ryan R. Penne,. Marilyn Field, was the Creator and brainchild of DAREarts. Perched atop a high ridge, the 11,000 square foot Chateau Windrush overlooks the Hockley Valley.

J.C.Pennie, founded Windrush Corporation in 1984,which is the Winery General Partner with a background of international business start-ups from: restaurants, advertising, computer imaging, and wind energy which achieved sales of from $10.0 to $400.0 million, three of which became public companies.

Jim Warren, legendary Ontario winemaker and Executive Advisor of Windrush Estate Winery. Co-founder of Stoney Ridge and Lenko Wineries, Jim established the acclaimed Niagara College’s winery and viticulture program and served for six years as Professor & Chief Winemaker. Jim advises Windrush on the creation of the vineyard and wines that has resulted in all five vintages receiving the VQA designation and international awards.

Named for a delightful river in the Cotswolds of England. The amazing views overlooking the Cotswolds and the Rhone Valley at Chateau Windrush, inspired the Fields to plant their first vineyard in 2017. The name "At 1,000 ft. elevation the rolling hills and breezes are reminiscent of the Windrush River in the Cotswolds."

Top-quality grapes from the Niagara bench are fermented in a state-of-the-art system. Computers maintain exact temperatures as our chief winemaker, Jonathan Boyle, and legendary vintner, Jim Warren, create great VQA wines for select restaurants and clubs.

 

The winery features numerous events through out the year. They have included featured performers such as Canadian Soprano Alexander Teske ,Canadian tenor, Romulo Delgado and Czech Christmas Mass by Jakub Jan Ryba.

May I recommend their Cabernet Franc, Dry Riesling and the Pinot Noir

We believe that everyone has the right to live happily, with pride and purpose to be their best selves, free of fear and oppression: to be truly respected and heard, no matter their race, culture or identity.

We commit to actions that come from listening to the unheard: that foster kindness and inclusion for all people. Continuing our past 25 years’ work of empowering at-risk children, we will donate 10% of our profits to provide opportunities for marginalized youth to realize their dreams and build the future. 

 Together, we can be the wind of change.
