GreenLane Estate Winery

SOPHISTICATED WINES. PASSIONATELY PRODUCED.

Take a moment, and take one sip. As winemakers, we live our lives to transport you to that place. The place in time – mid sip, when every subtle nuance and every flavour of the vintage, is felt and experienced from the glass. The best wines take you to that place. A simple moment in time to enjoy some very un-simple wines.

Nestled along the Niagara Escarpment in the Twenty Valley, a GreenLane Estate Winery experience is like no other. Experience an intimate glimpse into the art of the ever particular winemaker. Wines are truly crafted. Never a set recipe. Each vintage is a unique piece of art. The winemaker’s treats – as they call them - are sometimes as limited edition as 25 cases. A trip to the winery or entry into The GreenLane Society is the best way to ensure access to these bottles. We look forward to sharing a moment with you.

The story behind GreenLane

GreenLane is a boutique Vineland winery in the Twenty Valley, on a property once part of the Wayne Gretzky Estate Winery. It took over those mature vineyards and has been making VQA wine under its own name since around 2009.

It stays small and independent, the kind of winery you find rather than get pointed to.

Built around Riesling

GreenLane hangs its hat on Riesling, which the cool Twenty Valley grows about as well as anywhere in Ontario. Winemaker Dianne Smith works in small batches across the range.

Beyond the Riesling there are Chardonnay, Cabernet, and both tank and traditional-method sparkling wines. The vines on the estate go back to around 1990, so there is some age in the fruit.

Frequently asked questions

What is GreenLane known for?

GreenLane is a small Vineland winery best known for Riesling, made in small batches from mature Twenty Valley vines. It also makes Chardonnay, red wines, and sparkling, all Ontario VQA.

Where is GreenLane?

In Vineland, in the Twenty Valley of the Niagara Escarpment, on a site that was once part of the Wayne Gretzky Estate Winery. The cool climate there is well suited to aromatic whites like Riesling.

Why is the Twenty Valley good for Riesling?

The Twenty Valley is a cool pocket of the Niagara Escarpment, and that cool climate lets Riesling keep its bright acidity and aromatics. It is one of the reasons GreenLane leans on the grape as its signature.
