What Strewn Winery does

Strewn Winery (legal entity Strewn Inc) is a privately held, family-rooted VQA winery founded in 1995 and headquartered at 1339 Lakeshore Road, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario. The company produces a portfolio of more than 35 wines across entry-level (Cottage Block, TwoVines), Premium, Terroir reserve, and LIMITED club-exclusive tiers, with varietals spanning Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Vidal. Production is deliberately small-lot, employing traditional cool-climate Niagara viticulture, French/American/Canadian oak barrel aging, and traditional méthode for sparkling wines such as Muselet Rose and Muselet Traditional. Winemaker Marc Bradshaw leads production, with founders Joe and Jane supplying select grapes from a personal Jordan Station vineyard.

Strewn operates a vertically integrated go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce shipping across four Canadian provinces, three wine club subscriptions (Sommelier Selections quarterly, Chard Barrel Aged Fans monthly, and the annual LIMITED club for cellaring-grade reds), on-site retail at the estate boutique, the on-property Terroir Restaurant & Wine Bar (Feast On certified), Wine Country Cooking School classes, and personalized tasting experiences ranging from $20 to $40 per person. Select wines, including a top-selling VQA Barrel Aged Chardonnay, are also distributed through the LCBO retail network.

The customer base spans individual wine enthusiasts, wine collectors seeking cellar-worthy allocations, wine-country tourists visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake, and hospitality industry partners. Pricing spans $13-$88 per bottle with free Ontario shipping on 12+ bottle orders, and the company has no disclosed institutional investment, parent entity, or external funding rounds, operating as a founder-controlled private business.
