Downey's Farm Market

After less than a year in the wine business, the Downey family in Peel has something to raise a glass to – it recently captured 11 top awards at the Canadian International Wine challenge (CIWC), part of the 20th annual Toronto Wine & Cheese Show held in early April.
Downey’s Estate Winery won an unprecedented number of awards for a new winery in Canada. The crowing glory for the new venture was the gold award and best-of-show fry fruit wine honour for the 2002 Black Currant table wine. A hat trick in the gold category was rounded out by Cranberry Ice and Framboise (raspberry dessert wine).
Silver medals were garnered for the Regal Raspberry and Cassis, a dessert version of their now famous Black Currant table wine. Bronze medals were earned by Crimson Cranberry, True Blue, Blackberry and Golden Plum.
