all your senses, and to your intellect. The winery’s sensory
centerpiece in Niagara-on-the-Lake is a Jack Diamond-designed pavilion

Vineyards is First Canadian Winery to Achieve Biodynamic Certification
November 7, 2008 – Southbrook Vineyards has become the first
winery in Canada to have its vineyard certified by Demeter, the international
body that oversees biodynamic agriculture.
Yes, it’s gorgeous, it’s glamorous, it’s green, and it’s the newest
winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake. But what we have undertaken in the heart
of Niagara wine country is so much more than building a new winery –
we are building our dream.
Our roots are in agriculture. From a base in Richmond Hill, we have
travelled a path from cattle, to a farm market, to making VQA wines
and fruit wines. Now we take another step in our evolution. We continue
to invest in Ontario agriculture with two contiguous 75 acre parcels
in Niagara-on-the-Lake which we are farming organically. With these
purchases we can now make better choices for the vines, the wines and
the environment.
Southbrook is a new winery – with history. We have great depth in the
bottle, and a new and creative team dedicated to taking us places we’ve
only dreamed of.
We really want to share all this with you. Please join us here in Niagara-on-the-Lake
to experience our dream, on your journey to wine enthusiasm.

barrels. The Great Room is in the heart of the Pavilion and seats 60

library and a glass barrel vault. Larger groups can enjoy an outdoor
event on our East Terrace.
