Reif Estate Winery
Established in 1982 by the Reif family and nurtured by Klaus W. Reif, Reif Estate Winery is one of Niagara-on-the-Lake's founding family wineries. Home to a vast 125-acre vineyard in the Niagara River sub-appellation, their prime location benefits from fertile soils and a long growing season thanks to the river's air currents that protect against early frost, creating ideal conditions for sun-loving grape varietals.
Reif Estate Winery's winemaking approach emphasizes producing wines that embody the land, varietal, and vintage. With some of the oldest vinifera plantings in Canada, their meticulously-crafted bottles offer rich, full-bodied character. With a diverse selection of wines including their tantalizing white wines and opulent red wine reserve bottlings, each wine is a testament to the passion of the Reif family and their commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
Whether you’re a seasoned connoisseur or new to the world of wine, Reif Estate Winery promises an unforgettable journey through the art of winemaking.
