When you pull into Cape Vineyards, you just know you’re about to experience something special. The animals greet you right away and Kristen Rogers, winemaker and co-owner of Cape Vineyards, puts her love of farming and the animals above all else. The result is natural wine that allows the soil and the grapes to speak for themselves.

What is the result of being persistent in your passions? Just ask J.J. Syer, the sales manager at Rosehall Run Vineyards. She will be celebrating ten years at the winery this spring and has had the chance to wear many hats over the last decade and witness dramatic change in PEC since moving back to the County in 2004.

When you think women in wine and Prince Edward County, chances are the “Granger girls” come to mind — the mother-daughter team, Caroline and Maggie Granger, the owners and winemakers behind Grange of Prince Edward Winery.

Behind the carefully crafted stories leading up to each wine release, the ever-changing wine label designs, engaging social media strategy and more is the one-woman show, Kirstyn Mayers who quite literally does it all.

From the fresh and funky, to the classics that bring the true taste of the County soils to life, there is no question that Mackenzie Brisbois, winemaker and vineyard manager at Trail Estate, has a gift.
