Grange of Prince Edward Winery - Hillier, Ontario - Wineries on Waymarking.com

Caroline Granger found herself back on her family farm, three small kids in tow looking to rejuvenate her life. Her parents couldn't manage the farm anymore and so it fell to Caroline to pick up the slack. She transformed the sleepy farm into a vineyard in 2001 and opened her winery in 2004. Her daughter, Maggie, joined her in the project in 2010 when her love for wine and the land brought her back to the family farm, like her mother. Together they produce wines that are true to their unique farm in a small corner of Prince Edward County.

The Grange is a boutique winery producing 100% estate grown and made wines. It has a beautiful tasting room housed in a historic barn with lovely grounds to explore. Growing grapes on 60 acres of vines, it is the largest estate vineyard in Prince Edward County. The Grange produces a diverse portfolio of wines including late harvest and sparkling styles. Caroline makes the kinds of wine she likes to drink - accessible, unpretentious, everyday wines. Wines for real life, as she sees it.
