E58 - Foreign Affair Winery · René Van Ede, Canada

For Episode 58, we explore one of Niagara's most iconic wineries, The Foreign Affair Winery, with their accomplished winemaker, René Van Ede. Since joining in 2020, René has been steering the winery’s evolution beyond its renowned Italian-inspired appassimento wines, expanding the portfolio to include exciting new offerings like sparkling wines and Pinot Grigio. Owned by Corby Spirit & Wine, part of the Pernod Ricard family since 2017, Foreign Affair is deeply rooted in tradition yet constantly innovating. René, originally from Australia, brings a wealth of experience and a fresh perspective to the winery. His expertise is evident as he discusses the intricacies of winemaking in Canada and the winery’s commitment to sustainability and hospitality. With the unveiling of their stunning new tasting room, Foreign Affair is a must-visit destination for wine lovers.
