The Winemaker, Kevin Panagapka has been involved with wine from a young age. Kevin caught the bug early by helping his Father (an award winning amateur winemaker) in the basement of his Kitchener home. When he grew up he left Guelph and enrolled in Viticulture and Wine Making at Niagara College. Growing up in Guelph Ontario, he decided to move to Niagara and pursue an education in winemaking and viticulture at Niagara College.
For the past six years Kevin has worked in winemaking for various wineries in Ontario. In the winter of 2006, he traveled to New Zealand and completed a harvest in Hawkes Bay.
In 2007 Kevin decided to start his own wine company based on the‘virtual winery' model used by various winemakers worldwide. By renting space at a local winery he is able to put his resources into viticulture and winemaking, without the high capital expense of building a winery.
Kevin's uncompromising standards for viticulture and quality wine making have led him to produce exceptional single vineyard wines from various appellations in Niagara.
