ALTON FARMS ESTATE WINERY
The pioneer winery in the Huron Shores wine region, Alton Farms Estate
Winery was established in 2005 on a 90-acre property, with a 6-acre
vineyard. They hand-craft all of their wines using sustainable practices in
the vineyard and in the cellar to produce premium wines such as Cabernet
Sauvignon, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Marechal Foch and more. Abundant
wildlife, nature trails and nearby sandy beaches along the shores of Lake
Huron provide a beautiful setting for wine tastings, tours and special events.
