​Introducing our family owned and operated winery in Ottawa's backyard.

A short drive from Ottawa, Smokie Ridge Vineyard is a local family owned and operated winery specializing in northern varietal grapes. We were established in 2007 and have raised over 10,000 vines from infancy within 40 miles of one of the world's coldest capital cities. These hearty "Cold World" varietals include Frontenac, Sabrevois, Louise Swenson, St. Pepin and Marquette and can be tasted in our 2010 to 2020 vintages, our sm'Oaked Collection and our recently launched Dessert Wine.

​Smokie Ridge Vineyard Newsletter
 
Greetings,
We hope this newsletter finds you all well during these unprecedented times.
Over the pass few weeks we have been working very hard so we may better serve you and your family, preparing the vineyard for your socially distance enjoyment. First, we are now online and offer curbside pick-up and free delivery within 50 km of our Vineyard.  We have also been working with Swiftpost and Canpar and can also ship our wines anywhere within the province of Ontario, two (2), four (4), six (6) or Twelve (12) bottles. Our two hot sauces “Smoke’n Burn” made with our Soldier’s Pride Red and our “Heat and Honey” made with our Soldier’s Pride White and Honey harvested from our beehives here on our Vineyard. Gift Certificates are also available they make a great anniversary or birthday gift when going out to shop or visiting loved ones on their birthday or anniversary is not possible. You are most welcome to visit out website at www.smokiesgrapes.com and explore our produces.
We are now open on the weekends and holidays and we understand how hard it has been to everyone’s mental health during these isolating times. So, we invite you to come out and take a stroll in the vineyard. With 43 acres we are organized to fully accommodate social distancing, our large patio and commercial tent is set up just right for a stroll and a glass of wine. We have also placed 10 picnic tables so you can also stroll in the vineyard and have a picnic, dogs are permitted but must be on a leash.
If you have any questions or wish to organize a family event please do not hesitate giving us a call at 613-989-4523 or by email at [email protected].
We will have our new wines out shortly and will be sending you updates as they are made available.
We hope you will support local and small businesses like us and would be grateful if you would send this email to your family and friends.
From our family to you and yours please stay safe and we hope to see you soon.
With Best Regards

Wines of The Month
Our two new fortified wines - 2018

Chardonnay
Defiant
Behind every great man, is the mom who made him. And Smokie’s mom, Monique was a force - defiant, vocal while remaining, elegant, loving and sweet. A storyteller, adventurer and keeper of family lore, she told us of her beloved ice skates - a symbol of her independence. Monique wanted ice skates; her father was away, so at 14, she found a job at the Five n' Dime paying for the skates on layaway. In keeping with the decorum of the time, her dad was horrified, and swore to buy the skates if she'd quit. She kept the skates for over 70 years -a memento of her free spirit. Like her, fortified rose is an innovative, fresh, aromatic, vibrant and at the same time, distinct wine, great for mixing and mingling. Its sweet caramel nose, reminds us of her loved Laura Secord lollipops and candies always tucked in her purse.


In this blend our delicate Louise Swenson & Frontenac are fortified with our own distilled grapes. Enjoy the nice rich palate of soft tannins and a long steady fruit acid finish. Let your nose connect with the strawberry, raspberry or linger for the light caramel and floral scents. Swap out your gin in a classic G&T or the sweet vermouth in your favorite negrone for a fresh mix!
