Jabulani is a Zulu word meaning happiness or rejoicing and so this is the place of happiness. We started planting vines in the spring of 2007 and our first harvest was in 2010. Jabulani Winery at The Richmond Estate opened its doors in 2011. It was a small venue at that time – a tasting patio with five barrels as tables.
We acknowledge that our wineries and vineyards are on the traditional territories of the Anishinabewaki, Attiwonderonk, Haudenosaunee, Mississauga and Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, 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.
