Winery of the Week

Chateau des Charmes

St. David's Bench

Niagara-on-the-Lake, ON

The story of Château des Charmes begins over five generations ago with a family that traces its roots to the Alsace region of France and the vineyards of French Algeria. Ancestors of Paul Bosc began a heritage of fine winemaking that would serve the Bosc family for generations to come.

This tradition of excellence continues today in the vineyards of Niagara-on-the-Lake where Paul Bosc and his family carry on this rich heritage of meticulous vinification by harmonizing science and art.   ( more ... )
