Working Horse Winery, Vineyard and Farm blends a rich winemaking history, historic vineyards and heritage farming techniques with a contemporary approach to making premium organic wines.

The farm was first homesteaded at the turn of the century and abandoned in the 1930s. Not until 1973 was the farm revitalized, when present owner Tilman Hainle planted the organic vineyards by hand.

Tilman's new boutique organic winery, Working Horse, is where the New World's first Icewine was made in 1973. Together with his father Walter, he started making Icewine commercially in 1978.(Pictured on right: The oldest existing bottle of Icewine in North America)

The new winery and historic farm is the realization of Tilman's and his partner Sara Norman's vision for the property as a modern working example of sustainable heritage farming.

Working Horse Winery will be honouring its long winemaking and farming history by offering the opportunity for guests to visit our Icewine Interpretation Centre. The centre will include historic artifacts and information documenting the birth of Icewine in North America, as well as displays that demonstrate how Canadian Icewine is made today.

Distribution: Winery direct, select restaurants and retail agents
