Southbrook Organic Vineyards Launches "Ode to Niagara" Documentary
Southbrook Organic Vineyards Unveils New Mini-Documentary
Southbrook Organic Vineyards, a trailblazer in sustainable winemaking, is excited to share its latest endeavor, the mini-documentary titled Ode to Niagara. This documentary celebrates the unique terroir of the Niagara region, showcasing the vital connection between healthy soil and quality food production.
Celebrating Culinary Excellence
The launch event on July 6 will feature the renowned Chef Keith Pears, known for his culinary artistry and commitment to local ingredients. Chef Pears has made a mark as a Chopped Canada champion and is a favorite among local food enthusiasts. He will be preparing delicious bites alongside founder Bill Redelmeier, creating a memorable culinary experience for all attendees.
The Importance of Regenerative Farming
At the heart of Southbrook's mission is the belief that healthy soil is the cornerstone of food sovereignty and sustainability. Redelmeier emphasizes the necessity of cultivating soil health for the future of food production. He stated, "What we do… farming sustainably, organically, biodynamically, and regeneratively provides a roadmap towards a brighter future." This perspective drives the winery's efforts in regenerative agriculture.
Local Food Movement's Rise
While there is a growing momentum towards supporting local food sources, statistics reveal a stark contrast. Although 53.5% of Gen Z Canadians frequently purchase local products, only 3.3% of Canadian farmland is certified organic. Even fewer farms hold the prestigious Regenerative Organic Certified status, a designation that Southbrook has proudly achieved.
Upcoming Events and Community Engagement
Southbrook is not just about the wine; it's about community and environmental awareness. The winery is organizing a series of events, titled the Summer of Sustainability. These events will focus on the intersection of sustainable practices and local partnerships, including farmers' markets and educational sessions on regenerative agriculture.
Chef Keith Pears’ Engagement
A highlight of the launch will be Chef Pears' live cook-off featuring ingredients sourced from local producers. Attendees will indulge in innovative culinary creations while learning about the importance of local sourcing in the context of today's food systems.
Experience Southbrook's Wines
Guests will also have an opportunity to enjoy tastings of Southbrook's premium wines, made using the finest organic and biodynamic practices. The winery offers a range of experiences, from guided tastings in their environmentally friendly pavilion to self-guided eco-tours through the picturesque vineyard. Admission to the farm market, which runs from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m., is free, offering visitors a taste of local produce and handcrafted goods.
Supporting Canada's Culinary Future
As the exclusive national wine sponsor for Team Canada at the upcoming Bocuse d'Or, Southbrook emphasizes the critical role that sustainable practices play in enhancing the culinary landscape. Proceeds from certain events will support CHEFS CANADA, which in turn supports the international culinary team competing in 2027.
A Commitment to Sustainability
Southbrook Organic Vineyards uniquely holds certifications in organic, biodynamic, and regenerative organic farming practices. This dedication has led to significant contributions towards soil health, increasing organic matter and promoting biodiversity within the ecosystem. Guests can appreciate the winery’s commitment to nature through their wines, which reflect sustainable practices.
