Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery

Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery grows grapes at St. Davids, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation.

Where it sits

Ravine Vineyard Estate Winery is at St. Davids, 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 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Chardonnay Musque.

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: 34 acres.

Visiting
