British Columbia’s Vegan Wineries

KARLO ESTATES

Karlo Estates was the first winery to be certified vegan and started making wine in 2008. Not only are their wines vegan certified – including the packaging (so you don’t have to believe them), but all of their food offerings are always vegan. Even the two principals, Sherry Karlo and Saxe Brickenden are vegan, so, Karlo is as vegan as it gets.

TWO SISTERS VINEYARDS

“We are pleased to have all of our Two Sisters wines crafted to meet the guidelines for vegan wine production. They are made in the absence of any animal products whatsoever. We have loved working with Priya and Jen to pair our wines with select vegan foods and especially the great cheeses!”
www.twosistersvineyards.com

MALIVOIRE WINE COMPANY

“Our objective is always to let the character of the vintage and the vineyard shine through in our wines. To that end, we take a very minimal interventionist approach to winemaking. We also benefit greatly from our gravity process, in which very little extraction of harsh flavours occurs, reducing the need to fine. However, when we do require fining, we choose plant- or earth-based fining agents such a pea protein, potato protein and bentonite clay. The amazing uses and potential of the power of plants has found its way into the wine world and we have embraced this idea whole heartedly.”

DOMANINE QUEYLUS

At Domanine Queylus we believe in sustainable viticulture. The vines are grown organically (uncertified) out of respect for the precious, fragile soils of the Niagara Bench. No synthetic herbicides or insecticides are used. Each vineyard is cared for by hand, including pruning; shoot-thinning; shoot positioning; leaf pulling; green harvesting; and not forgetting the hand-harvesting of the entire crop. All of our wines are 100% vegan; no animal products are used at any point during production.

CAVE SPRINGS

“Our wines are crafted with a focus on place. This means in the winery we take a minimalist approach to our winemaking, using little to no additives in our wines. Instead, we choose to use traditional techniques, such as indigenous fermentations, neutral barrel aging and extended lees contact to express the nature of our terroir.”

LACEY ESTATES WINERY

Lacey Estates Winery is a family owned and operated vineyard and winery. First planting was in 2003 all by hand and continues this practice to ensure quality of the vines. Our winemaker Kimball Lacey believes in low intervention minimalist wines using no animal products for fining or filtering. We produce small-batch wines with complexity and character.

Southbrook organic vineyards

“At Southbrook we strive to make wines with the least negative impact on the land, while encouraging and implementing regenerative practices. This includes the use of solar power, the cleansing of water before release it back into the water system, and the regeneration of soils thru the use of non-chemical fertilizers. We do not use any animal byproducts in the winemaking process choosing instead to use bentonite clay as a fining agent.”

Bachelder Niagara

“We are minimalists from the get-go… we want the signature of our wines to be the terroir from whence they come, and not any human intervention! We press both Chardonnay, Gamays, and Pinot Noirs very lightly, we ferment with indigenous yeasts, and practice long élévages (18-22 months) in mostly-neutral French oak 228 litre barrels, so that the young, more simple primary varietal fruit abates into something more expressive, more textured, more refined, with more terroir or ‘sense of place. We don’t rack, we don’t pump, we don’t stir the barrels, we rarely fine, and never with any animal products! A light filtration and then to bottle for 6 months bottle-bouquet ageing prior to release!”

NorMAN Hardie Wines

“We have always endeavoured our wines to express their heritage/terroir that they are grown in. Given this philosophy we craft wines using natural yeasts, little to no filtration, minimal sulphur and no fining agents. Also, 95%+ of our wines produced since 2004 have been well below 100ppm threshold for organic and biodynamic wines.”

Frogpond farm (organic winery)

“As Ontario's first certified organic winery, we have been crafting small-batch, vegan friendly wines since 2001. We strive to be conscientious stewards of land and water resources and to create a balanced ecosystem on the farm. Thus, no synthetic pesticides or fertilizers are used in our vineyard. Our winemaking approach is low intervention and we do not use animal based products (gelatin, isinglass, egg whites or casein) to fine or clarify wine. Our wines are left to clear naturally by gravity. We believe that creating harmony in nature is the prerequisite for truly authentic wine.”

2010-01-10--02-MasterL (2).jpeg — Huff estates

“Planting in 2001, Huff Estates were one of the first wineries established in Prince Edward County. Owners Lanny & Catharine Huff were born and raised in ‘The County’ and had always had a passion for fine wine as well as a love of the land. Our philosophy has always been simple, produce quality wines that showcase the terroir with minimal intervention. Our wines are made without the use of any animal products and are VegeCert vegan certified. Come join us on the patio for a delicious wood-fired pizza also with many vegan options available.”

Tawse — tawse winery

“Located in the Twenty Mile Bench sub-appellation in the Niagara region, Tawse Winery has been farming organically for a few years now, and some of its wines have been produced without the use of animal bi-products over the years. Because a greater number of people favor a vegan life style, this winery believed that it was a logical and natural step to become “VegeCert” certified and to better identify its vegan wines on the label.”

Nadia and Ilya in front of barn.jpg — LEANING POST WINES

“All wines that are currently produced at Leaning Post Wines are 100% vegan, without the use of any animal products.After watching the documentary, Forks Over Knives,owners, Nadia and Ilya Senchuk made the decision for their family to follow a plant-based diet.”

“We are proud to say that 100% of our wines are vegan. They are made without the use of animal or meat products. We practice non-interventionist winemaking and we make our wines as naturally as possible. We believe that less is more. Who doesn’t like to work less…”
