Jabulani is a Zulu word meaning happiness or rejoice and so this is the place of happiness. It was what Tom said he was feeling as we walked the property before buying it in 2006. When we bought it, it was just a fallow field – nothing on it – but we fell in love with it all the same. Tom had been making wine since he was a teenager back in Africa and we knew we would always be making wine, just never dreamed it would be from our own grapes! Tom has used methods that he learned while visiting the wine regions of the Cape Province of South Africa near to where his grandfather lived. This seems to have given our wines a unique flavour that is favoured by our customers and wine judges alike. To date we have fifteen international awards and five Canadian championship awards, including a Double Gold for our Marquette Chete 2015, and intend on continuing to enter competitions to prove that Canadians can make world class wines.

We started planting vines in the spring of 2007 and our first harvest was in 2010. Jabulani opened its doors in 2011. It was a small venue at that time – a tasting patio with five barrels as tables and the store was run out of the bottom portion of our home.

Today we have eight different varieties of cold climate vines numbering just over 11,000 on 11 acres of the farm. We have expanded the winery to include a separate building from our home and it is there that we not only make our award winning wines but where we also host events such as weddings. There are three favourite locations on our farm where couples have chosen to have their ceremonies; by the pond behind our home, within the old orchard and the most popular has been in our crush pad. The winery can accommodate events of up to 120 people indoors as well as outside at our tasting patio.

Our beer is made in our 18 hectolitre, two-vessel brewhouse, including one bright tank and five single fermentation tanks. We produce a variety of beer styles made with quality ingredients and the careful attention of our talented brewers.

Our kitchen produces creative and contemporary takes on classic comfort foods from around the globe, with ingredients sourced locally and seasonally. The food complements drinking and conversation, perfect for snacking and sharing over an afternoon or evening of conviviality.

Flora Hall Brewing is built on quality drink and food, with a focus on ensuring that our customers, be they longstanding or first time, are delighted in every respect. We hope you’ll gather with us soon!

Great wine truly is made in the vineyard and it is an adherence to this philosophy that informs our choice to farm sustainably, including both organic and biodynamic approaches whenever possible.

Healthy soils, a biodiversity of flora and fauna creates a vineyard of balance and synergy … and ultimately, wines of substance, integrity, uniqueness of place and longevity. Our winemaking is focused on using experience and skill to achieve balance in the wines rather than to achieve a preconceived ideal.

As stewards of 47 acres of land (10 under vine), and as practitioners of truly sustainable viticulture, our pursuit of winemaking perfection begins with the soil.

KIN Vineyards tends to a vineyard nestled along the Carp Ridge, adjoined by the Carp River, and resting upon the grey limestone of the Ottawa Formation. The vineyard supports a distinct terroir, a unique personality, and a tremendous potential for remarkable wine.

Beau’s Brewing Co. was conceived, as so many wonderful things are, over a pint of beer. Since 2006 we have been brewing interesting, award-winning, tasty craft beers using high quality ingredients. We do this because beer has always been a social connector, and the power of conversation can evoke change. Sharing a beer with someone is a moment like no other. It has electric energy. We take pride in crafting our beer to bring people together and celebrate these moments.

Beau’s is located in historic Vankleek Hill, Ontario; just an hour’s drive from Ottawa and Montreal. We’re open 7 days a week for tours and tastings.
