Start Planning!

It's a beautiful time of year in Canada, the leaves are turning colour, the air is crisp and clean, the fall harvest is upon us and it is the perfect weather for spending time with friends and family. What better way to spend a Sunday afternoon with your loved ones than to go on a winery tour at a beautiful location sipping several different vinos. Join us this Sunday at 2pm for a public tour and tasting, only $6 per person.

Fall is also a reminder that the Christmas season will soon be here, we are now booking Christmas office parties and family get-togethers. We have several options for your festivities, from tour and tastings paired with cheese platters, to formal sit down dinner parties catered by one of our fantastic caters. Take the stress out of this time of year by letting us plan a wonderful Christmas party for your family and friends.

Last but certainly not least, the final total from the Wellington Warrior Challenge has being calculated. Through the fund raising of the participants, the volunteers working day and night and customers donating money with their bottles of wine we were able to raise over $60,000 for the Canadian Cancer Society! This number is unbelievable, we are all so proud to say that this is possible in Wellington county. We can't wait to raise even more money next year at our Lobster fest and at the Wellington Warriors, the fight is never over.

More Money to Raise



After months of hard work, and a weekend full of running, climbing, swimming, lifting and fighting we are all proud to say that the Canadian Cancer Society along with Cox Creek raised thousands of dollars for cancer research.

Even through the down pour of rain we had on Saturday over 500 people came out to Cox Creek to participate or spectate the race, it flooded our ponds that the warriors had to troop through. What we expected to be a tough trek turned into a bitterly cold muddy swim across and yet all of the warriors did it with a smile on their faces, it was a truly inspiring site.

But we aren't done yet, we still have a few bottles of our 'Warrior Wine' left from the weekend. $2 from every bottle go directly to the Cancer Society.

Wellington Warriors

This weekend we are proud of be hosting the annual Wellington Warrior Challenge, a physically grueling obstacle course throughout our farm. Every year thousands of dollars are raised at this event for cancer research and this year we hope to raise more than ever, but we can't do it without your help.

We have our 'Warrior Wine' for sale in our store:

Seyval Blanc - $13.70
Baco Noir Oaked - $13.90

$2 from every bottle sold goes directly to Canadian Cancer Society. Also, for one day only we will be selling our warm spiced wine to be enjoyed while you watch the warriors troop through the course. Part of the proceeds of this wine will also go to the Cancer Society.

Volunteers from the  Cancer Society have been here day after day working on the course and making sure everything runs smoothly on Saturday, it is sure to be an enjoyable day for both participants and spectators.
