Champion and advocate for the growth and success of Ontario VQA wine producers. The OCW represents more than 100 farm-family wineries throughout the Province.

These wineries are independently owned, small and medium sized enterprises, dedicated to crafting 100% Ontario VQA wines. As grape growers, manufacturers and leaders in tourism, our winery members are located in the three designated viticultural appellations: Niagara, Prince Edward County and Lake Erie North Shore – including Pelee Island, as well as emerging wine producing regions such as Ontario

’s South Coast, Georgian Bay and Grey County. OCW members are the future of Ontario’s wine industry, representing a source of new investment, jobs and award-winning wines to the province. Economically, Ontario’s VQA wine and grape industry contributes business revenue of $1.9 billion and generates an additional $236 million in tax revenues and $528 million in wages. This represents an annual economic impact of over $2.4 billion. Currently, more than 11,000 jobs are created in Ontario as a result of the wine and grape industry (100% Canadian). The wine and grape industry has also developed a loyal tourist following, welcoming over 2.4 million visitors annually. This provides numerous spin-off benefits in the hospitality, tourism and agriculture sectors, which helps support other small businesses across our province. For more information on the OCW visit:

Friday winery member feature, Windrush Estate Winery. Named after the sweeping Windrush River valley in England’s Cotswolds, Windrush Estate Winery was founded by J.C. Pennie and Marilyn Field on a vision of beauty, excellence, and purposeful community. This vision is woven into everything they do.

The estate has been home to Hockley Hills since 2017, and is now bringing that same energy to an exciting new chapter with a tasting room opening in Etobicoke this summer. Crafted by Chief Winemaker Jonathan Boyle alongside legendary vintner Jim Warren, each bottle of Windrush wine captures the fruit of the land, the tenacity of entrepreneurs, and the passion of international visionaries.

Check out our Friday feature winery member, Wending Home Estate Vineyards & Winery!

In the heart of St. Catharines, Wending Home Estate Vineyards & Winery is a boutique estate shaped by both terroir and journey. Spanning 50 acres, with 23 acres under vine, the winery embraces a slow, intentional approach of crafting wines that reflect the relationship between soil, people, and place.

Founded by Huaying Feng and Jianneng Li, their story begins in Guangzhou and unfolds in Niagara, where owning land and farming became a realized dream. The name “Wending” (Wèn 問 Dǐng 鼎), speaks to a gentle, winding path home, while its Cantonese meaning, as symbolized by the stamp on each bottle, expresses an aspiration to be the best. Traditional clay tanks sourced from Wuxi, China, bring a unique texture and quiet complexity to their winemaking. A perfect place to slow down, sip, and connect with the journey behind each bottle.
