In 1999, Denis Perrault, a local dairy farmer started a grape growing operation on the family farm in Navan, Ontario. He originally planted 1 acre of vines consisting of approximately 10 varieties of hybrid grapes in consultation with a vine expert from the University of Guelph.

In the spring of 2005, an additional 5 acres of vines were planted, which provides the winery with approximately 20,000 bottles each year. From that day the dream of a vineyard in Ottawa was realized! ​
