About Green Gables Vines
A small, family-run vineyard and winery in Oxford Station, Ontario.
Our Story
Green Gables Vines was founded in 2013, when our family took over the original Oxford Station vineyard with a simple goal: to grow good cold-hardy grapes and make honest wine that reflects the place it comes from. The first seasons were spent rehabilitating the land — pruning, replanting, and learning what each row of vines wanted to be.
Today the vineyard runs on a small team and a lot of help from friends. We farm organically, harvest by hand, and bottle small batches of white, red, rosé, and fruit-infused wines made from our own grapes. The winery is open on weekends through the warmer months — pull up the driveway, sit on the porch, and try what we’ve been working on.

And All the Volunteers
A small winery doesn’t run without help. Every year, friends, family, and neighbours show up at the vineyard to prune, pick, and pour — sometimes for an afternoon, sometimes for a whole season. We couldn’t do this without you. Thank you.
