There's No Place Like Local

Beautiful. Rich. Diverse. Ontario wine country represents generations of winemakers and grape growers who are passionate about bringing the best of Ontario to your table. And it's for good reason. Ontario has evolved into a world-class, award winning wine region boasting over 145 VQA wineries, producing up to 60,000 tonnes of grapes for wine production each year and more than 84 million bottles of wine.

Our cool-climate region is what makes our wines distinctive, food friendly and memorable. Ontario grapes ripen slowly resulting in complex wines with higher acidity and more mineral flavours. And that makes them the perfect wines to pair with all types of cuisine to enhance their flavours.

At Magnotta, we've been true believers in the potential of Ontario as a wine region from the very beginning. And that gave us a lot of confidence to ask bold questions. Why can't we make an Amarone-style wine right here in Canada just like the Italians by using Ontario grapes? Or big reds to rival Bordeaux and California? How about Passito-style dessert wines? Why shouldn't we try unusual varietals like Muscat Ottonel and Gewürztraminer? And make an Ice Cider on par with Quebec? Thanks to our wonderful terroir, we've done all that. And much more.

As a proud Ontario grape grower and winemaker, Magnotta is there every step of the way – from the grape to the bottle – to bring you our spectacular wines to enjoy with family and friends. Through our family-owned vineyards, production facilities and independent stores, our mission is to provide you with the best value and selection of VQA, premium and specialty wines without compromising on quality.

Ontario wines have come a long way. We're proud to be an ambassador of innovative, premium Ontario wines that can go up against France, Italy, Spain, California, Australia or anywhere else, that really impress.

Be proud of Ontario's beautiful bounty and support local!
