Cave Spring Cellars

Cave Spring Cellars was founded in 1986 by grape grower Leonard Pennachetti and wine maker Angelo Pavan. From the beginning, they have vinified vitis vinifera grapes - the noblest grape varieties of the Old World - from vineyards along Niagara's Beamsville Bench. Cave Spring wines are made from vitis vinifera, the classic grape varieties of Europe. We concentrate on varieties native to regions with growing conditions similar to our own. Chardonnay, for example, is the great white grape of Chablis and Burgundy in Northern France, while Riesling is the source of Germany's most famous wines. Situated on the finest slopes of the Beamsville Bench, the Cave Spring Estate was first planted in 1978, making it one of Niagara's most mature vinifera vineyards.
