Tzafona Winery

Tzafona Winery grows grapes at Niagara-on-the-Lake, in the Niagara Peninsula appellation. It dates its founding to 2014.

Where it sits

Tzafona Winery is at Niagara-on-the-Lake, 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 Sauvignon, Riesling, Chardonnay, Vidal, Gewurztraminer, Merlot 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: over 100 acres.

Visiting

Seated tastings and tours offered; dedicated winery facility still under construction (per site, 2026-10-16)

Also in Niagara Peninsula: Villa Romana Estate Winery, Watchful Eye Winery. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
