"CELEBRATING SILVER… SIPPING GOLD."
We will toast silver by sipping gold-medal winning CEV Lily bubbly at our reception. We will then continue the celebration by featuring award winning wines. We anticipate the evening to be very informal with room for questions, comments etc. Don't bring presents; for this anniversary, Colio will be giving a gift to each attendee!! The guest list will include Carlo Negri the 2005 Ontario Winemaker of the Year.
On our recent OWS bus tour, 36 of us had the unique opportunity to fully appreciate what Colio's corporate profile states " experience the 'Southern Hospitality' of Lake Erie, North Shore". For those not on the bus tour, Colio Winery is giving you a second chance to savour their 'award-winning' wines. SALUTE!!!
The Colio Winery Begun In 1980, the winery now produces over 200,000 cases of wine from grapes sourced from their own 200 acre vineyard & other VQA designated regions across the province. Presently, the 40,000 Sq. foot winery has a 2.1 million litre capacity.
The Colio Site Centrally located in the VQA designated region of Lake Erie North Shore, this is the oldest (late 1800's) commercial grape-growing area in Canada. Geographically, it is located as far south as Napa Valley, California & Tuscany, Italy.
