Harbour Estates Winery

Harbour Estates Winery HEW is located on one of the most unique properties in the Niagara Peninsula. Having 1800 feet of frontage on Jordan Harbour, HEW is the most prominent point in Jordan Harbour as seen from the Queen Elizabeth Highway. As HEW is located directly on Jordan Harbor it is only natural that the winery is built with the theme of water and the environment in mind. Dedicated to the production of fine VQA wines, with an emphasis on red viniferas. Their property is planted to 30 acres of red vinifera grapes including Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot. Winemaker is Jeff Innes, owned and operated by Fraser Mowat. Winter hours of operation are Monday-Friday, 12 p.m. to 5 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. They currently have Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Baco Noir, Cabernet and Strawberry wine available.

Directions
From Toronto take the QEW to exit 55, the Jordan Road exit. You'll know you're coming up on our exit when you see the tall ship docked in the marina on the north side of the highway. At Jordan Road, turn right and we are one quarter mile on the right hand side. From Niagara Falls, take the QEW to exit 55, the Jordan Road exit, turn left on Jordan Road and as above we are one quarter mile on the right hand side. Don't confuse exit 55 for Jordan Road with Highway 55 that would take you to Niagara on the Lake. If you are following the wine route on Regional Road 81 or Fourth Avenue, take Jordan Road north across the railroad tracks. We are about one half mile from the tracks on the left hand side. We are right across the road from Paul's Garage.
