Wineries

Organized Crime Winery, The

Organized Crime Winery, The grows grapes at Beamsville, in the Beamsville Bench sub-appellation of Niagara Peninsula.

Where it sits

Organized Crime Winery, The is at Beamsville, and its fruit falls inside Beamsville Bench, one of the sub-appellations nested within Niagara Peninsula. A sub-appellation is the narrower claim: a wine may carry it or the wider appellation name, and the boundaries are set in regulation rather than by the winery. The regions page covers how those lines are drawn.

What it grows

The winery works with Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Gris, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.

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.

Vineyard area: 40 acres.

Visiting

Open every day 11am-5pm except Wednesdays (closed); tasting reservations offered

Also in Niagara Peninsula: Palatine Hills Estate Winery, Pearl Morissette Estate Winery. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
