Spill the Wine Episode 29: I found my thrill on Blueberry Hill: A visit to Front Road Cellars
In July 2025, Lukas and Andrea made a trip to Norfolk County to visit three wineries on the shores of Lake Erie. The first stop was Front Road Cellars, a family run winery that is also a blueberry farm. Owner Amanda Vranckx shares the story of the evolution of the winery and shares some amazing wines with us. Amanda also talked about their partnership with Guelph university in planting hybrid varietals of grapes that will withstand colder temperatures. Of course, we also tasted some blueberry wine – which seems like a necessity when you have a winery AND a blueberry farm. The landscape at this winery is stunning and it's definitely a family friendly spot with great food and beautiful wines.
Produced by Lukas Sluzar, recorded July 16, 2025

Wines sampled: Clink Clink (sparkling wine), 2024 Bright Side, 2023 Chardonnay, Blueberry Hill, 2023 Norfolk Pinot Noir, Kindred Red (Marquet/Cabernet Franc blend)
