At our location, the warm air from Lake Ontario comes inland and cycles back towards the lake after having hit the Niagara Escarpment a few kilometres inland. This gives Birchwood a fairly constant supply of warmer air, which helps evaporate any excess moisture and forces the roots to go deeper into the soil to anchor the vines.

We produce clean and flavorful wines for current consumption - crisp, fruity, unoaked or lightly oaked whites and medium to full bodied moderately oaked reds. We strive to exhibit the great fruit that goes into our wines.

We are close to the Bruce Trail, the southern lake Ontario shoreline, the Niagara Heritage Trail and a number of other eco-tourism destinations, such as the local fruit and vegetable markets and pick your own orchards. We are also en route to picturesque Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake (home of the Shaw Festival) and Casino Niagara. Be sure to include a stop at our small, unpretentious winery when you are planning your Niagara weekend!  Honeymooners are particularly welcome!!
