For this episode, we welcome winemaker Mackenzie Brisbois of Trail Estate Winery in Prince Edward County. Mackenzie brings global harvest experience and a sharp curiosity to her role, crafting wines that are minimal intervention yet highly expressive of place.
She discusses the challenges of farming in PEC’s cool climate, her philosophy of keeping parcels separate, and why transparency and experimentation are central to her winemaking. From orange wine to pét-nat, Mackenzie shares how innovation and patience shape her work in the cellar. This episode highlights the collaborative spirit among Ontario winemakers and how shared knowledge strengthens the community. It is a candid look at thoughtful risk-taking, sustainability, and the artistry behind wines that truly reflect their origins.
