Residents of these jurisdictions will still be welcome to call or order online for curbside pickup. When ordering, please leave a note as to which day you plan on picking up your order. Call us at (905) 468-7270 when you arrive and we will come out with your order.

II: Groups are limited to 4 people. All persons in the group must be from the same household. Proof of address is required by all guests.

IV: Guests are required to pass COVID-19 screening upon entering.

V: All guests, by law, must have a proper mask. (Please note that masks with respirators/exhale valves, face shields, and mouth shields do not quality as proper masks.

About Us

Your Land

Marynissen Estates has its roots deeply embedded in the soil of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Located in the Four Mile Creek sub appellation, the estate is home to the oldest commercial planting of Cabernet Sauvignon in Canada. The property, an old pig barn, was purchased in 1953 by viticulture pioneer John Marynissen and his wife Adrianna. John and Adrianna began growing their own grapes in 1976, planting the classic European Vitis vinifera grape varietals Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Merlot and Gamay Noir.

At Marynissen Estates, we focus on small-lot winemaking showcasing our wines in a rustic yet modern style. We focus on gentle handling at each stage of the winemaking process to ensure wine of the highest quality and value. We want to pay respect to our deep history while continuing to learn, grow and move our winemaking forward.
