Niagara College brings Icewine education to life through its annual sub-zero harvest. This story offers a firsthand look at how students learn winter winemaking under real VQA conditions, and how hands-on training is shaping the future of Ontario Icewine while sparking innovation within the teaching winery.
We acknowledge that our wineries and vineyards are on the traditional territories of the Anishinabewaki, the Attiwonderonk, the Haudenosaunee, the Mississauga and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, the Ojibwe, the Odawa, and the Potawatomi People. As guests of this land, we thank Indigenous Peoples for caring and protecting the lands and waters on which we work and live. In the spirit of peace, friendship and respect to all Indigenous Peoples who have and continue to live and work on these lands, we will continue to honour this place we call home.
