Delaney-Bachelder, Ltee

Delaney-Bachelder, Ltee grows grapes at Beamsville, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation.

Where it sits

Delaney-Bachelder, Ltee is at Beamsville, inside Niagara Peninsula — one of the three appellations of origin recognised under Ontario's VQA system. What that claim means on a label, and how the boundary is defined in regulation, is set out on the regions page.

What it grows

The winery works with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Pinot Blanc and Gamay Noir.

Each of those has a page here on how it behaves in Ontario: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches at harvest, and which parts of the province actually plant it.

Visiting

No dedicated tasting room; appointments for mailing-list subscribers

Also in Niagara Peninsula: Dim Wine, Dobbin Estate. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
