Fonthill's Famed Kame Delta
One of Niagara's most unique and eco-rich landscapes
Sitting at 700 feet above Lake Ontario, Sons & Daughters Winery in Fonthill is situated on the Fonthill Kame Delta: a unique geological feature formed after the last ice age. This remarkable spot, one of only five sites of its kind in the world, gives our vineyards a special microclimate and mineral-rich soil.
​
The Kame Delta was shaped by retreating glaciars, resulting in a diverse landscape of heavy stones and fine sand. This varied terrain plays a crucial role in the depth and character of our wines, making each bottle a reflection of its origin.
​
​
Sons & Daughters is home to two distinct vineyards. Our Tice Road vineyard features a rugged landscape filled with rocks and boulders, providing an ideal environment for hearty red grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin, and Baco Noir.
​
Meanwhile, our Effingham Street vineyard, with its gentle hills and sandy soil, is known for producing our beloved Riesling wines. Recently, it has been planted with Baco Noir.
​
The landscape here is not just picturesque; it's an integral part of what makes our wines so uniquely compelling.
