GEORGIAN HILLS VINEYARDS

Situated in Grey County, Coffin Ridge is a revelation for wine explorers. The modern Tasting Room opens to an elevated deck overlooking Georgian Bay and the picturesque vineyard. Carefully researched winter-hardy varieties flourish here, with hybrids like L’Acadie Blanc and Marquette, crafted by Steve Byfield and gaining critical acclaim. Visit the winery to try their Riesling Bone Dry or Back From the Dead Red VQA wines.

Nestled in the picturesque Beaver Valley overlooking Georgian Bay, Georgian Hills Vineyards focuses on growing cold-hardy grape varieties that flourish within the moderating “lake effect” of Nottawasaga Bay. We are championing cool climate grape varieties such as L’Acadie Blanc, Marquette, and Maréchal Foch. We create unique wines such as our Notty Bay collection that showcases distinct and elegant cool climate grapes. Enjoy our emerging portfolio with a perfect pairing of local cheese and charcuterie on our tent covered patio.
