The Burnt Ship Bay story:
Burnt Ship Bay lies in the heart of the mighty Niagara River that flows along the Peninsula where our grapes grow. In 1759, during the Seven Years' War this little known bay became the final resting place for some treasure laden French ships. Well into the 19th century their burnt hulls were still visible, but despite attempts by fortune hunters the treasure remains lost beneath the river's tumultuous waters. We proudly produce wines from our grapes that are deeply rooted in the history rich soils of the Niagara Peninsula.
