April 17, 2025: Kew Vineyards Estate Winery, Beamsville

25 of our intrepid, Probus wine club members visited the Kew Winery on King Street, east of Beamsville on a beautiful, sunny afternoon. The estate manager, AJ led us on a tour of the vineyard, the house and their production facility, then led us through a tasting of 4 of their wines, including a sparkling, two whites and a red. The property was acquired in pioneer times by the Kew family, and their descendants lived there until 1969. In the early 70’s, Kew was one of the first viticulture vineyards to be planted in Niagara, and currently hosts some of the oldest vines in the region. AJ explained the difference the maturity of these vines makes in the quality of the wine produced.
