Live the Map: Experience Niagara's Terroir with Bachelder Wines

The legendary winemaker Thomas Bachelder has taken it upon himself to chart the uncharted terroir of Niagara, one vineyard parcel and one vineyard block at a time. 

It was a defining highlight of our lives to be able to tour vineyards with Thomas and members recently...and now we want to take you there!

The Story & People

We got off a long and complicated post-pandemic flight and we were exhausted.

It was late, and yet Thomas insisted that we stop by, however late it is - it was no trouble for him.Little did we know, Thomas had about 18 bottles of his current releases ready for us to taste, at the 'Batcave.'

That was Summer of 2022, and that very night, we tasted through all of Bacheler's wines. I discovered what turned out to be my #2 wine tasted in 2022.

In 2023, one of Bachelder's wines made it to my #3 Wine of the Year out of over 1200 Canadian wines tasted.

Thomas’ wines are not just delicious. They have soul, and they are poetic. They're full of passion that delivers the Niagara terroir in the purest way possible.Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Gamay. That's it!

Thomas' wines have topped wine lists by Jancis Robinson, Decanter, the New York Times and more.

I hope you can join us to discover a legendary wine selection from a legendary Canadian winemaker.

Cheers,

Carl

"Thomas Bachelder is one of the most talented winemakers in Canada, and his pinot noir ranks alongside the best of Burgundy."

Will Lyons, London (UK) Sunday Times

"Besides being supremely likeable, Bachelder's a wine genius and any visit with him is an amazing learning experience!"
