Rockway Vineyards
Rockway Vineyards grows grapes at St. Catharines, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation.
Where it sits
Rockway Vineyards is at St. Catharines, 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 Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Vidal Blanc, Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and Gewurztraminer.
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: approximately 50 acres of farmland purchased for the winery.
Visiting
'The Wine Shop is now open DAILY. Store hours: Monday to Sunday: 10am - 4 pm'; site offers 'Wine Tasting & Tours'
