At 16 Mile Cellar, we are a family-owned winery committed to crafting exceptional, small-batch wines that reflect the unique terroir of Creek Shores VQA Sub-Appellation and providing unique private tasting experiences that are casual and educational. Founded in 2010 and nestled along 16 Mile Creek in the Niagara Peninsula, our vineyard focuses on varieties that thrive in our land—Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Gamay.
As passionate winemakers, we are dedicated to producing limited quantities of exceptional wines exclusively from our estate-grown fruit each year. Our commitment to quality has not gone unnoticed, earning the admiration of wine critics across the country.
