HARE WINE CO. (THE)

Frogpond Farm offers a window into the world of organic winemaking.
Natural balances build stronger vines that thrive without chemical
pesticides or herbicides. In 2001, it became Ontario's first winery to
produce certified organic wines. Winemaker Jens Gemmrich focuses
on a range of solid, traditionally styled wines. Come picnic beside the
frog pond and explore on a self-guided tour.

reds such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Bordeaux style blends, Syrah and
Chardonnay. Visit the boutique winery to taste small lot, hand crafted
