Anne also pointed out that the patio and special events help keep the winery open at this time. The winery hosted quite a few events this past summer such as “Wine Wednesday Dinners” featuring different local chefs each week and food paired with wines from Alton Estates. They also hold “Wine and Paint” and “Wine and Yoga” afternoons and the annual “Fine Art, Fine Wine: Show and Sale.” Many of these events sold out. The new tasting room has a warm and welcoming ambiance Other recent additions to the winery include an open-air patio and a wood-fired pizza oven offering Margherita, meat lovers, Mediterranean chicken and gluten-free pizzas. The patio menu also includes charcuterie boards with a selection of seasonal meats, cheeses, breads, crackers and fruits. Wine is available by the glass. The selection of red, white and rosé wines available for purchase from the winery is always changing as new wines are released. The current offerings include a 2016 riesling, 2016 sauvignon blanc and 2015 chardonnay, and a rosé made from marechel foch grapes. Red wines include the 2016 baco noir, 2015 cabernet sauvignon and 2015 cabernet franc. Some hybrid and vinifera blends are also available. Alton Farms wine production is small when compared to other wineries in Ontario. Last year they produced just under 600 cases and hope to increase production to about 800 cases this year. With this volume it is difficult to make a profit. “You really have to make Winemaking at Its Finest 18 YEARS celebrating NEW CUSTOMERS Mention this ad for $30 OFF ’til Christmas Premium quality handcrafted wine at an affordable price 150 Exeter Road, London 519-652-3998 somersetfinewines.com Share Our Passion Available at at the Fine LCBO Restaurants & The Winery Colchester Ridge Estate Winery A Family-Run Craft Winery Award-Winning VQA Wines Friendly Tasting Boutique Picnic Tables Artisanal Ontario Cheeses Special Events @crewinery • 108 Essex County Road 50 • Harrow ON • 519-738-9800
