Avondale Sky Winery

About Winery and Wines

What began as a dream of simplicity became a simple dream. Find a farm, grow grapes. It evolved into a plan to grow great grapes and later to make fabulous wine. After searching province wide, we found the farm. Our vineyard’s gentle southern slopes nurture acres of vines on the Avon Peninsula. We’re surrounded by the ever changing tidal landscape of the St. Croix and Avon Rivers, rolling hills and the panoramic Avondale sky. It’s here, in this wonderful, peaceful place that the vintner’s art is alive, creating extraordinary wines. The vineyard is one of the oldest in the province but our winery is among the newest. The evolution from vineyard to winery has been a journey. Rather than construct a new winery, the decision was made to salvage an old barn which was looking forlorn on a dyke along the St. Croix River ten kilometers from the vineyard. While it was being dismantled to be transported to its new home, offers to rescue other barns began to trickle in. Then churches. Then the trickle picked up momentum.
