BETWEEN THE LINES WINERY
BIG HEAD WINES
Over the past seven years since we opened Between The Lines, our process
has been perfected through experimenting with various techniques and
exploring inventive winemaking methods led by our winemakers Greg
& Yannick Wertsch. The result is a distinguished portfolio of wines that
possess a precise flavour and appeal to new wine drinkers and the most
seasoned palates. It all happens here in the Big Red Barn on our stunning
property in NOTL. Our modern-rustic space houses our cellar and acts as
both a tasting room and our clubhouse. Stop by and see for yourself; come
tour the grounds as we share all we know about winemaking with you.
Big Head is the first proprietary label under the award-winning winemaker Andrzej Lipinski and family. Focusing on wild fermentation and the
Appassimento winemaking method (drying of the grapes) they produce
small-batch, high-quality premium wines with uncompromising attention
to detail. Enjoy the 'Big' or 'Biggest' sommelier-led tasting session for a
truly unique experience.

CAROLINE CELLARS
CATTAIL CREEK ESTATE WINERY
The Lakeit family - with a half-century of farming history behind them -
opened Caroline Cellars in 2002. Focusing on fresh and approachable
wines made by Rick Lakeit, the award-winning portfolio includes both
white and red varietals, a small selection of fruit wine and critically
acclaimed and awarded Icewine. The Farmhouse Café is open for lunch
year-round and focuses on relaxed Wine Country fare.
The story of Cattail Creek goes back to 1956 when their grandfather planted
his first vineyard. Since then, three generations have tended those
vines and in 2006 they started their own winery. Every year, they handselect the grapes that will become their wines. Stop by and enjoy the
tranquility of their vineyards with a Picnic in the Vineyard offered from
Victoria Day Weekend to Thanksgiving Weekend.

CHÂTEAU DES CHARMES
COLANERI ESTATE WINERY
This family estate winery is set among 35 hectares of pristine vines
in the St. David's Bench. Founded in 1978 by Canadian wine-industry
visionary Paul Bosc, the winery continues to innovate with pioneering
viticulture research. Wines ranging from well-structured single-vineyard
wines to bold reds built for aging are crafted by Amélie Boury from grapes
grown on the winery's own farms using sustainable farming techniques.
Colaneri is a family-owned winery that hand-harvests grapes to produce
premium VQA award-winning wines from its surrounding vineyards.
Most of the red, white and dessert wines are made in the traditional Italian
Appassimento method of drying grapes. The large portfolio of wines
include Ripasso, Amarone and Recioto styles. Their Romanesque-style
winery features a piazza in front with a panoramic view of the vineyard
and Escarpment.
