Featherstone Estate Winery
The Featherstone Estate Winery is family owned and operated winery in the heart of the Wine Country of the Niagara Peninsula. The vineyard stretches over 23 acres and includes Riesling Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Gamay Noir, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir, Merlot and Gewurztraminer, with some of the oldest vines dating back to 1986.
Located along the picturesque grape growing region of the Twenty Mile Bench, this Niagara Peninsula Winery produced its first vintage wine in 1999. In that same year Feathrestone Winery became insecticide-free, using ladybugs and lacewings to control the aphids and using pheromone traps for grape berry moths. The winery was named the best vineyard in Ontario in 2003 and David Johnson, owner and winemaker, was named Grape King.
