This was Huron County’s first winery, a new and emerging grape-growing area! Intended to be among the top 20 winemakers in Ontario. This winery, when complete in 2015, will be open for tastings, on-site purchases, and located right next door to the Huron County Playhouse, near Grand Bend. The winery will also have event hall rental facilities for 300 persons, and smaller space for private gatherings, a missing service for the area. The Winery has 9000 sq. ft. of production space and 20 acres of vineyard.

The design concept stems from the Owner’s love of livery stables. Using stone masonry, and reclaimed lumber a central lobby space hints at an old livery, while the modern wings for production, retail & tasting, and event hall spread out from it. Public spaces attempt to capture the main views of the vineyard and take advantage of solar lighting, and reduced solar heating.
