Wending Home Estate Vineyards & Winery
Wending Home Estate Vineyards & Winery is a small St. Catharines winery on a 50-acre estate with a 23-acre vineyard that supplies most of its terroir-focused, 100% Niagara wines. Veteran Niagara winemaker Ron Giesbrecht partners with Ying Feng, whose family runs the vineyard and lives on the estate. The name pairs a slow path towards home with a Cantonese meaning, to aspire to be the best. The winery store and tasting room at 3756 Ninth St. offers winemaker-led and staff-led tastings.
