Waupoos Estate Winery
Tasting fee: $12
Towards the water's edge you'll find The Restaurant at Waupoos Estates, a gazebo-style building nestled amongst vineyards with a panoramic view of Lake Ontario.
Ed Neuser and Rita Kaimins opened their winery in 2001 the first all grape winery in the region. They named the winery after the local village.Ed Neuser, a German-born machinist who came to Canada in 1957, purchased the 100-acre farm century-old house in 1983.
Ed chuckles when he recalls the night that he and Rita decided to try planting grapes. "It was after a couple glasses of wine, or maybe it was a couple of bottles"‚ he jokes. "Everybody thought we were off our rockers ‚ we had no experience growing grapes or making wines."
The winery has a beautiful lakeside restaurant that is fully licensed. Reservations are required. 20 acre vineyard has grown with new plantings of Shiraz grapes, Gewurztraminer grapes, and Gamay Noir grapes. They have have an apple and peach orchard, a modest citrus grove and a vast sugar bush, where we tap 1,500 maple trees to produce our own Maple Syrup.
Viticulturist/ Winemaker: Kyle Baldwin Winemaker: Amy Baldwin.
Philosophy: I try to be as minimally invasive as possible throughout the process. I'm not opposed to experimenting with new wine styles and techniques. Each vintage presents opportunity to create unique wines, and the path for each wine is different. I believe there is room for both tradition and innovation in winemaking.
