Field Stone Fruit Wines

Regardless of how bushes look at any time of year, when he looks out over his vast fields of berry bushes, Marvin Gill sees only fruit in a bottle. “Fruit wine is like bottling up summer to be enjoyed all year long,” says Gill, who, with four other partners owns Alberta’s first cottage winery – Field Stone Fruit Wines of Strathmore.

Field Stone Fruit Wines opened its doors in 2005 upon receiving Alberta’s very first cottage winery license, which allowed Alberta fruit growers to produce and sell fruit wines. The winery sits on 50 acres of mature berry orchards, located forty minutes east of Calgary. Luscious crops of raspberries, strawberries, wild black cherries and Saskatoon berries are harvested and turned into ten delicious fruit wines, all available at the Calgary Farmers’ Market.

For many years, this popular U-Pick orchard has been known for its exceptional fruit, harvesting extra sweet berries. Now Field Stone offers ten exceptional wines, all developed by world-renowned winemaster Dominic Rivard. From the dry Black Currant Fruit Wine to the sweet Raspberry Dessert Wine, the variety and range of wines will amaze. All our award-winning wines are offered for free tasting before purchase.
