Behind the Grapes: Niagara’s Newest Winery

It all started when Bob and Marzia, founders of Niagara’s 180 Estate Winery, decided they wanted to pursue a new path in life. Something out of the city, away from the corporate world to reconnect with nature, pursue their passions, and to combine their love of entertaining, food, and wine.

When the pandemic shook the world and their family, Bob and Marzia took stock of their lives and re-evaluated what was truly important to them. Inspired by their two daughters, Taylor and Sara, the couple decided to take the road less travelled and put in the extra work to make things happen. So when an opportunity arose to own and operate a boutique winery (Formerly Di Profio Wines) in Jordan Station, Ontario, they jumped on it. Marzia left her corporate job, and they moved into a bungalow on the 10-acre vineyard.

From May 1, 2021, they hit the ground running, producing single-vineyard hand-crafted wines, authentic Italian cuisine, and creating a landscape made for lasting memories. With the whole family involved in every aspect of the business, 180 proves that teamwork and dedication can make their dream work. They’re all about the customer experience, treating everyone who walks through the door like part of the family.
