1709 Front Road St. Williams, Ontario

A rare opportunity to acquire Norfolk County’s most recognized winery property, welcome to Burning Kiln Winery. Set on 92.68 fertile acres within the increasingly popular Long Point World Biosphere Region, this well established destination winery overlooks the Turkey Point Marshlands and sits just a short drive from Port Dover, Simcoe, sandy beaches, trails, zip-lining, and the natural beauty that draws more visitors to Ontario’s South Coast. Located on a repurposed tobacco farm, the property is a testament to Norfolk’s agricultural heritage, where premium sandy loam soil once used for tobacco has been thoughtfully reimagined for viticulture. The winery is known for unique production methods, including appassimento style with drying of grapes in former tobacco kilns, and for celebrated wines such as its Strip Room. Approximately 20 acres of active vineyard are planted with noble vinifera varietals including Merlot, Riesling, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Pinot Noir, Pinot Grigio, Savagnin and Petit Verdot with approximately 30 additional workable acres at the north area for future expansion. The winery features a 4,900 sq. ft. main commercial building with attractive retail, winemaking, barrel room, administrative areas, and year-round food service; a fully renovated 1,914 sq. ft. historic residence used as high-end guest accommodation; a 2,600 sq. ft. versatile event space with a large patio; plus eight 460 sq. ft. kilns that honour the property’s roots. With sweeping vineyard views, award-winning wines, hospitality experiences, and its popular Concerts in the Vineyard series, the winery has become a true community destination and a must-visit for those seeking a glass of wine with a beautiful view. Serviced by 3-phase hydro with 800 amps, natural gas, onsite wells for drinking water, and septic systems, this offering combines land, thoughtful infrastructure, history, and a recognized brand in one of Ontario’s most distinctive agricultural and tourism regions.
