The idyllic beauty, pastoral environs,  and favourable climate led Maria and Scott Kirby to the Niagara Peninsula in 2017.  Upon visiting Kirby Estate for the first time it was obvious that the former peach farm turned vineyard in the 1990s was a special place - rich soils, bounded by 4 Mile Creek on the east and north, and overflowing with tender fruit and nut trees, and a plethora of birds and wildlife.

Acres of vines with mature red and white vinifera varieties stood proudly like soldiers in the fertile soils, as if to challenge the Kirbys in a call to stewardship.  Seeking a lifestyle change, they embraced the challenge with optimism and a hint of trepidation and have journeyed down the road less travelled becoming grape growers and vignerons – living the dream, truly blessed.

Under their stewardship, they have partnered with the best industry professionals with expertise in vineyard management and artisanal wine making resulting in remarkably high quality, small-lot, single-vineyard merlot, chardonnay, pinot blanc, and soon to be sparkling wines.  They are inspired by other quality wine makers who also seek to release the magic in their terroir grown grapes which showcase the authentic rich flavours of Niagara Lakeshore’s award winning wines.
