Passion & drive produces beautiful wines.
We’re a small batch, winemaker-led winery — driven to crafting exceptional estate single vineyard Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Cabernet Franc wines from low intervention and wild fermentation methods.
Years and years in the making.
Mason Vineyard is a truly unique place. One of only a handful of wineries in the world that’s female winemaker owned, created and led. At least that’s what we’ve been told, we don’t get out much.
Mason — Kelly Mason, the founder and winemaker who almost a decade ago purchased the vineyard and began tailoring the site with a clear vision — to make only extraordinary estate single vineyard, low yield, small batch, minimal intervention Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc wines that express the character of the site. Whoa, yah, all of that, for real.
Vineyard — A single vineyard situated in the Twenty Mile Bench with climate and soils ideally suited to the temperament of the three noble varietals that we focus on: that’s Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc in case you’ve already forgotten. Read more about our vineyard.
The Winery — A winemaking facility focused on making, well, wine. Have no illusions, what it takes to produce beautiful and distinct wines is nothing short of fanaticism and relentless focus. As a result, we’re going to be straight with you — this winery is about us, not about you. Us meaning the wine, and you meaning, well you.
Our mission is to create exceptional wines of site.
It is our belief that truly extraordinary wines result from applying all of a winery’s resources and attention toward making the wine, avoiding the distractions of conventional wine tourism.
Our winery lives and breathes making wine for the purpose of pushing our limits and showing just how far Canadian wines can go.
The Wines — From the start of this dream a decade ago, my goal has been to focus primarily on wild ferment Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Cabernet Franc wines. I believe that our site and other vineyards in Niagara are especially ideal for making the best wines in the world. It’s really that simple. Incredible terroir produces beautiful wines and our terroir is second to none. I can’t wait for you to try them, it’ll have been worth the wait.
And You — Ok ok, yes, you have a role too. You see, even though we are making wine the way we believe it should be made, we are also driven by sharing our passion for beautiful wine. We want to make sure you have the opportunity to join us for the adventure as we explore what this incredible wine region can produce.

Collab Series Wines
Part of our mission at Mason Vineyard is to work collaboratively with peer Winemakers, both new and established, because this strengthens our region and each other. When two Winemakers work together to make one wine, they share knowledge and inspiration resulting in exciting new approaches and discoveries. And it’s also fun.
The expression of our commitment to this mission is our Mason Collab Series: wines created out of a passion for working together with peer winemakers as well as a love for exploring other estate terroir throughout our region and beyond.
