The Good Earth Winery
The Good Wine is born in our petite lot vineyards nestled at the foot of the Beamsville Bench in Twenty Valley. This region is gaining international recognition for the quality of wines produced and we are proud to play a part in the growth of Niagara’s wine country.
Our wines are predominantly crafted from Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc grapes from our small lot vineyards. The grapes are tended by gentle hands: hand pruned and thinned judiciously to produce very low yields of quality grapes. They are harvested by hand and transformed into VQA wines that complement the foods of the seasons. This makes them a fitting addition to any feast.
