13th Street Winery
The small estate winery was established in 1998 and specializes in limited production of estate grown, hand-crafted wines (table and sparkling wines). Sold by the original partners in 2008, the new owners plan to utilize the new and old vineyards to continue to produce the Gamay, Chardonnay, and Riesling types of sparkling wines for all guests to enjoy. In spring/summer 2009 the winery plans to move from the Jordan location to 4th Avenue in St. Catharines to a newer facility with state-of-the-art winemaking equipment. This new winery will provide an area for wine tastings and private events can be held in the area. Even with the new building this winery expects to keep both production facilities to help increase overall production of the fine wines from 13th Street Winery.
