SUE-ANN STAFF ESTATE WINERY

TAWSE WINERY

Acclaimed winemaker Sue-Ann Staff, home of the Fancy Farm Girl,
vinifies on her family's 200-year-old Niagara Escarpment estate.
It's the ultimate assemblage, blending over 100 years of grape-growing
experience (including two "Grape King" titles) with Sue-Ann's awardwinning winemaking. Showcasing Pinot Grigio, Rieslings, Cabernet Franc,
Merlot, Baco Noir, Icewines and traditional sparklings. A perfect venue
for weddings, corporate groups and private functions.

The inspiration for Moray Tawse's family-owned winery came from
his love of Burgundian Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Using organic and
biodynamic farming practices, he has since expanded his range to
terroir-driven Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and 100% Ontario Apple
Cider, all crafted by Paul Pender and Rene Van Ede. His state-of-the-art
six-tier gravity-flow winery was awarded Canadian Winery of the Year in
2010, 2011, 2012 and 2016.

Rieslings and rare Small Lot Reds are coveted by collectors and wine
lovers. Emma Garner (2015 Winemaker of the Year) invites you to taste

Niagara Escarpment. In addition to their fine wines, Vieni Estates offers
