To our Valued Friends and Customers,
Summer is here and life continues despite the coronavirus. The vines are growing well and nature continues to flourish on the farm.
Despite these positive things, we still have to deal with the difficult situation of COVID-19 and adhering to government requirements and social distancing practices.
So our summer update is as follows …
We are now conducting wine tastings only by reservation on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Please book your tasting through our website. The tastings are for 20 minutes with a preset flight of 4 wines which change weekly. Check our Facebook Page or Instagram often to see what we’ll be pouring.
Walk-in customers purchasing bottles/curb-side pick-up are welcome during regular opening hours and we politely ask that you enter the store one at a time. Our retail store is open everyday (except for Wednesdays & Thursdays when we are closed). If you can, please call ahead to place your order (905-468-1079) and we will have the packaged wine waiting for you.
We encourage you to purchase wine also at our Online Shop; we ship to most places in Ontario. If you order wine online but choose to pick up your wine in our retail store during regular opening hours, please select “local pick up” from the shipping options at the checkout page. We thank all of our customers who choose this method to purchase wine. It is a responsible option.
From every $100 on-line wine sales (during COVID-19 and to the end of 2020), we are donating $1 to the following charities: FoodShare provides food programs and nutrition education to those in need (Toronto area); Gillian’s Place provides shelter and support to women and girls (St. Catharines); and The Soup Kitchen provides food and shelter to the needy (Niagara Falls). Help us help them … buy our wine!
Rest assured, we have taken steps to ensure your and our staff’s safety while at the winery.
Finally, we wish to thank everyone who has chosen to support us by buying our organic wine during this challenging time and we look forward to welcoming you back to our winery!
Stay safe!
Kindest regards,
Jens Gemmrich & The Frogpond Team
