From L to R, Kate George, Chris Bartlett, Bill George and Will George. What truly makes this new venture exciting, aside from the setting, is the three co-owners, Kate George, her brother Will George, and cousin Chris Bartlett are the ninth generation of the George family from a rich history of farming in Niagara.
The winery, located in the Lincoln Lakeshore sub-appellation, enjoys an idyllic setting for sipping wine on the front grass of the estate with stunning views of the lake looking out toward the Toronto skyline. Not bad for a winery barely open for four months.
The Watchful Eye winery, breathtakingly located on the shores of Lake Ontario, only one of three wineries in all of Niagara with that distinction, had one of its first wines it has ever produced, the 2021 Chardonnay, chosen as the official white wine of the Ontario Legislature for the coming year.
