Haretage – A Tribute to our Heritage

Hey there, wine lovers!

We have some thrilling news at The Hare Wine Co. that we can’t wait to share with you. Rediscover the magic of Haretage, our cherished wine, celebrated with a fresh story and deeper connection! This extraordinary red wine is more than just a glass of wine; it’s a celebration of heritage, a toast to our roots, and an invitation to share your own stories. As we gear up for Canada Day, we’re bubbling with excitement to revive the story of Haretage and invite you to join us in celebrating the rich mosaic of cultures that make us all unique.

The Magic of Haretage

Haretage is a brilliant play on words that beautifully blends the name of our beloved winery, The Hare Wine Co., with the concept of heritage. This wine is a heartfelt homage to our owner and visionary, John Hare, and his vibrant Bulgarian roots. The moment you step through our gates, you’ll be whisked away to a charming, old-world European setting that mirrors John’s background. Although The Hare Wine Co. was established just seven years ago in 2016, we’ve poured every bit of love into creating an atmosphere that feels timeless and warm.

A Story Etched in Every Bottle

John Hare has a passion for breathing new life into old materials. The harvest tables, shelving, door panels, and bar wood in our tasting room? They’re all made from 150-year-old barn boards from Beamsville, crafted by a talented local artisan. The bricks adorning our building’s exterior, sourced from abandoned buildings in Detroit, add to our authentic European charm. These thoughtful details create a cozy and inviting space where you can sit back, relax, and savor your tasting experience.

Haretage is a softer, more mature red wine that offers incredible value. Inspired by the Bulgarian roots of John, Haretage incorporates Bulgarian grapes, which lend a unique authenticity to this special blend. Haretage shines not just for its flavor but for the rich story it tells. And here’s a fun tidbit: on the back of every bottle, you’ll find a heartwarming photo of John with his three, second cousins from Bulgaria, capturing the familial bonds that inspired this wine.

 

Let’s Talk Heritage!

At The Hare Wine Co., we believe that wine is a wonderful catalyst for connection and storytelling. We encourage you to Open the Bottle when you Open the Conversation to your heritage and families’ stories. As you enjoy this wine, we invite you to reflect on your own heritage. Where does your family come from? What traditions and stories have been lovingly passed down through generations? We’d love to hear about them and celebrate those stories together. #MyHaretage
