About Us

      A story still in the making, brothers Geoff and Anthony embarked on a wine-making journey in 2018. With roots in the area, they built Sons & Daughters, a family-run winery in Fonthill, located within Pelham, Ontario in the heart of the Niagara Region.

Sons & Daughters is named for Geoff and Therese’s sons, Hudson, Magnus, and Beauden. And for Anthony and Maria’s daughters, Charlotte, Georgina, and Theodora.

     Situated at the longest and highest point in the Niagara Peninsula, our Fonthill vineyards sit on one of only five sites of its kind in the world.    

     A kame delta is created by melting glaciers, forming what we know today as the Fonthill Kame Delta. In its wake, the glaciers left behind mineral rich soil on its hills, creating a unique terroir and microclimate for our grapes. 

     Sons & Daughters Winery is comprised of two vineyards. The Tice Road vineyard is heavy in rocks, pebbles, boulders, and coarse sand, making it an ideal location for red grapes that produce Cabernet Sauvignon and Franc, Chambourcin and Baco Noir.

     On Effingham Street, the hilly vineyard is composed of fine sand and produces the ever popular Riesling variety.

Our winemakers are hands-on in the vineyard, cultivating the grapes, careful to ensure that they develop a flavour reflective of the terroir, climate, and vintage.  While more labour intensive, these farming practices are better for the environment and for the quality of the grapes.  In the cellar, small batch techniques allow the winemakers to craft balanced, authentic wine with no added sugar, gelatin or colourants.
