Appassimento; Passito; Vin de Paille; Strohwein; Schilfwein; Prošek; Slámové vino; Vin Santo; Vino de Pasas; Caballo Blanco; Wineries from all over the world are embracing the art of drying grapes to concentrate the flavour and structure of the must and resulting wine. We have been using tobacco kilns and we like the results. We hand-harvest the grapes, gently placing each bunch in a single layer and only selecting the healthiest fruit. The kilns provide a perfect environment; plenty of ventilation and air-flow and the cool fall and winter temperatures slow down the process and prevent rot.

We are now located at Hunter Farms in Niagara-on-the-Lake. We have gone from “virtual” to official winery status. Our cellar door is open the following hours:

Monday to Friday – 11am to 5pm
Saturday & Sunday – 12pm to 5pm

We are open for drop in purchases Monday through Sunday. Tastings are available by reservation Friday through Sunday.

If you would like to reach us outside of our business hours please feel free to send a message via Facebook, Instagram or email to: info@bigheadwines.ca and someone will get back to you ASAP.

* Please contact us at the winery or look for us on social media for our updated holiday hours.

We look forward to having you over.

We welcome you to experience being an extended member of our family. Enjoy the warm hospitality of our team while experiencing a wide range of benefits. Think of it as being part of a secret wine society with access like no other!
