​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 2015 vintages, our sm'Oaked Collection and our recently launched Dessert Wine.

Smokie has created a deep purple wine exuding sweet vanilla and dark cherry aromas. On the palate you can easily discern the rich flavours of coffee and leather, underpinned by a hint of vanilla and spice. A medium to long fruit driven finish with well integrated tannins, this wine is the perfect compliment to rich velvety sauces or a classic steak et frites.
