Welcome to Cornerstone Estate Winery
Jerry and Wanda Kopanski founded their charming, family owned winery in 2002. They consistently produce premium wines using their own fruits. Cornerstone focuses on limited productions, resulting in small batches of VQA wines.
Cornerstone has been the recipient of 10 medals at the International Wine Competition in Finger Lakes, New York, and 2 bronze medals at the Canadian Wine Awards for their 2007 Cabernet Franc-Merlot VQA and their 2008 Strawberry Festival Wine. Not to be missed is their 2005 Fine Port which won Best Value Fortified Wine at the 2008 Toronto Wine and Cheese Show. Also look for their new 2009 Chardonnay Musque, which was hand picked and sorted to perfection.
Jerry Kopanski has a well-established agricultural background. Jerry was born and raised on a farm. He attended the University of Agriculture and graduated as a fruit grower specialist. In addition to the Cornerstone vineyards, they also have an extensive fruit tree farm including peaches, cherries, apples, plums, nectarines and apricots.
In 1999, Jerry ambitiously purchased a fruit farm in Beamsville, Ontario; where he painstakingly converted it into a working vineyard. In 2002, he began turning his farm's grapes into a variety of wines. Jerry's winemaking business quickly progressed and, in 2004, he built a brand new facility to increase wine production; and iIn 2005, Jerry proudly opened his new winery to the public.
Jerry Kopanski is married to his wonderful wife, Wanda. The couple live in the Beamsville Ontario area with their three children, who are all currently studying at Brock University. When you visit Cornerstone, you are likely to meet the friendly owners, who are always pleased to discuss all things wine and guide you through an enjoyable tasting of their fine products.
