## The offering
Coffin Ridge was the first commercial winery in Grey-Bruce and the first to prove that northern vineyards could excel. It is approaching its 20th harvest, and now it is for sale. You don't start from bare land and a business plan. You get 22 acres of established vines, a purpose-built winery, a brewery and taproom, two homes, 35,000 to 40,000 visitors a year, and founders prepared to help you through the handover.

## The story
Neil and Gwen Lamont bought fallow land covered in hawthorn thickets and boulders the size of houses. The old barns and farmhouse had burned down years before. Neither of them had farmed. They dynamited the boulders, tore out the hawthorn and planted their first two acres of vines in 1999. The winery opened in 2007 and sold out every bottle within nine weeks. It was the first commercial winery in Grey-Bruce and the first to plant Marquette. What you take over is the proof that it works up here.

## The ridge and the view
The property sits on the rolling hills outside Annan, high enough that the farmland falls away in every direction and Georgian Bay fills the horizon. That view is what your visitors drive up for. It is also what you wake up to. 80.49 acres freehold, with the vineyard, the winery, the brewery and both houses gathered on one ridge.

## The vineyard
Every vine here is a cold-hardy varietal: Marquette, Baco Noir, Geisenheim, L'Acadie Blanc, Frontenac and Frontenac Gris, Prairie Star and La Crescent. They are bred to come through a northern winter. The Marquette from these rows has taken double gold at the All Canadian Wine Championships multiple years in a row. You inherit the vines, the know-how and the track record on the first day.

## The wines, ciders and beer
The names fit the ridge: Back From The Dead Red, Into The Light White and Resurrection Rosé. Then the varietal wines: Marquette, Baco Noir and L'Acadie Blanc, and the Divine Intervention Series of sparkling whites, sparkling rosés and an orange wine. Night Spirit is a Bourbon-barrelled Marquette that carries Tom Thomson's Northern Lights on the label, made with the Tom Thomson Art Gallery. The Forbidden craft ciders come Dry, Hopped and Pink, and Brush with Death is a rosemary maple cider with Thomson's Canoe Lake. You get the brands, the recipes and the following they've built.

## Financials
This is a business sale as much as a real estate sale. Complete CPA-prepared financial statements and a confidential information package are released to qualified buyers after a signed confidentiality agreement.
