WINEMAKER PROFILE
Where It All Began
Niagara-on-the-Lake has been home to the Palatine Hills Estate for over four decades. Family owned and operated, the farm and vineyard was founded by John and Barbara Neufeld. Early on they recognized the potential their land had and a vision for what they wanted their winery to become.
Over The Years
Winemaking begins in the vineyard, a founding principle of the Neufeld family that still rings true today. As expert grape growers, the family has taken great pride in growing and transforming Palatine Hills for decades, pushing the boundaries of what it means to be a winery.
The True Adventure
Fast forward to today, Palatine Hills still remains a family affair, with two generations of Neufeld’s bringing their passion to the winery and all that they do. The winery continues to be rooted in tradition but the Neufeld’s are always looking forward to the future and adventures ahead.
