Arterra Wines Canada acquires Angels Gate Winery and Kew Vineyards Estate Winery in the Beamsville Bench, the westernmost part of the Niagara Peninsula wine-growing area in Ontario.

“The Beamsville Bench is recognized worldwide for the quality of its wines, and I am honoured to welcome these two respected wineries in our family of Niagara wineries,” says John Boynton, president of Arterra Wines Canada. “These acquisitions reflect the company’s mission to grow amazing VQA premium offerings while leveraging Arterra’s winemaking excellence”.
