Company information: Field Stone Fruit Wines’ story began in July of 2005, as Alberta’s first-ever estate winery. Our family-run winery and farm are nestled into 50 acres of mature berry orchards located forty minutes east of Calgary, just outside Strathmore, Alberta. Our unique wines are developed from crops of Saskatoon berries, strawberries, raspberries, chokecherries, black currants, red cherries and rhubarb into a variety of fruit wines and dessert wines, ranging in sweetness from an off-dry table wine to a sweet dessert wine. 75% of the fruit in our wines is grown in our own orchard. Since 2006, the winery has been distinguished with over 80 awards and medals across its 10 varieties of fruit and dessert wines from national and international competitions. Our products are available at retail stores and farmers markets around the province.

Year established: 2005
