Five Rows Craft Wine of Lowrey Vineyards
Winter’s rest
Now that the ‘09 harvest is in the barrel, we’re using the time to manage the vines and prepare for spring. We’re not in every day but if you wish to visit, please give us a call and pack some warm boots in the car.
Are You In?
Five Rows Craft wine and the Lowrey Vineyard are family run operations that keep us in the boots most days. We welcome you to visit but apologize if you find us on the tractor, or under vine.
If you wish to meet us and have time to arrange a presentation of our releases, please contact us in advance. If you find yourself in the area, give us a call and we’ll make sure one of us can take the time to meet you.
Our wine region enjoys a healthy wine touring culture as there is much to see and experience and we are excited to be a part of the legacy of the Canadian wine scene.
However, making only 400 cases per year excludes us from offering week day tastings as part of our offering to the area's gracious visitors, reserving tasting times to weekends between 11am - 5pm from May 1 to December 31.
