Canada’s Vegan Wineries

Ontario Wineries

British Columbia 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.”
www.karloestates.com

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.”
www.malivoire.com

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.”
www.queylus.com

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.”
www.cavespring.ca

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.”
www.laceyestates.com

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.”
www.southbrook.com

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!”
www.bachelderniagara.com

Frogpond farm

“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.”
www.frogpondfarm.ca

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.”

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.”

We use indigenous/wild-ferments for practically everything, we do not fine or filter anything: vintage difference is what we want. And no animal products in wines. Period. Regardless of wine style — whether more classic Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Franc or funkier Orange Wines and Pét Nats, each of our wines is made with the same low-intervention, no B.S. ethos: start with great fruit, no additions / no subtractions, taste often and have trust in your palate.”

www.del-gattoestates.ca

Rosewood Estates Winery & Meadery

With each passing vintage, we attempt to learn how the varying seasonal conditions impact the distinct flavours, textures and focus of our wines. It is for this reason that we choose not to add any exogenous products, such as selected yeast, nutrients or fining agents to further cloud the already complex matrix of wine.

That being said, we believe a wine’s first job is to be delectable. If we need to intervene to prevent a wine from being anything but delicious, we will take corrective action, but we will approach that decision pragmatically and with complete transparency.
