Situated in Prince Edward County, Ontario, we are a craft winery focusing on low-intervention wines both classically funky and fantastically fun.
Trail Estate Winery sits at the intersection of Benway Road and the Millennium Trail. The Millennium Trail is the remnant of the CN Rail line which went from Picton to Trenton and is now a hiking and recreational trail.
The winery, which will open in 2014, is owned by Anton and Hildegard Sproll, along with their daughter Sylvia and son Alex. Anton and Hildegard, originally from Germany, fell in love with Canada and started Sproll's Fine German Bakery in Kitchener in 1978, which they operated successfully for almost 30 years.
Trail Estate Winery is the new venture (or adventure!). in 1978 – Sproll's Fine German Bakery which they operated successfully in Kitchener for almost 30 years.Sylvia did her undergraduate studies in Germany It was while harvesting grapes along the Neckar River in southern Germany that her romanticized notion of the grape vine took root.
They have 7 acres producing 400 cases. They plan to increase product to 1200 case. The vineyard is planted mostly with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. They also planted a smaller portion of Riesling and some test rows of Marechal Foch, Geisenheim, Cab. Franc and Gewurztraminer
