What Rosehall Run Vineyards does

Rosehall Run Vineyards is a family-owned estate winery founded in 2000 by Dan and Lynn Sullivan with co-founder Cam Reston, operating from a single 150-acre farm in Hillier Ward, Prince Edward County, Ontario. Vineyard planting began in 2001 with Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; today the estate farms 25 acres of vinifera including Pinot Gris, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, Muscat, and Tempranillo, on clay, rock, and shale soils over a calcareous limestone base. Winemaking occurs in a 7,200 sq ft gravity-fed winery with a barrel cellar blasted into the limestone, supported by a French barrel program with barrel-by-barrel selection and trial blending; the estate received Certified Sustainable status from Sustainable Winemaking Ontario in 2023.

The business sells across six channels: a daily on-site Tasting Room & Bottle Shop, an online wine shop with Ontario shipping, the RR Mixtape quarterly wine club (~$CAD 250/box), restaurant and on-premise placements across 20+ Ontario venues (including an exclusive white-label for The Drake Devonshire), off-premise wholesale through LCBO/grocery/convenience, and ticketed experiences (The Nest premium tasting, The First Pour anniversary event, Hair of the Dog brunches, partner dinners). Pricing is per-bottle on e-commerce, per-flight/per-person for tastings, and recurring subscription for the wine club.

The company is privately held with a small core team of five named members (Head Winemaker Dan Sullivan, General Manager J.J. Syer, Associate Winemaker Lee Baker, Account & Wine Club / Key Account Manager Dylan Sullivan, Sales Manager Emma Monet), supplemented by tasting-room hospitality staff. Distribution, marketing, and regulatory positioning emphasize Prince Edward County VQA appellation provenance, sustainability credentials, and integration with the regional cultural and culinary tourism ecosystem (i4C/Cool Chardonnay, Wine Country Ontario, Andara Gallery, Richmond Station, Big Lake Arts, among others).
