Wooden Bear L Winery

Wooden Bear L Winery is located just south of the Town of Simcoe in Norfolk County. This area, known as 'Ontario's Garden' is the number one producer of many fruits and vegetables in the province of Ontario. It boasts a sandy loam soil perfect for the production of these products.

We started the winery as a value-added business for our apple orchard entity - Calmark Orchards Ltd. Calmark has 50 acres of orchard, growing market and processing apples such as: McIntosh, Empire, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious, Ida Red and Spy.
From these apples and other varieties sourced in Norfolk, we produce varietal and blended apple wines and cider products.

We also produce grape wines and other fruit wines. Raw Materials used for these products are also sourced locally.

Our philosophy: produce small batches of product, using only locally sourced raw ingredients. Adhering to a winemaking process using less abrasive procedures to maintain natural flavours, aromas, colours and textures.
