Huron County is officially home to a winery.
Maelstrom Winery is located between Seaforth and Clinton and they opened their doors last weekend.
Co-owner Catherine Landsborough says they have four different types of wine available right now and some ciders.
Landsborough says they have Chardonnay and Frontenac Blanc.
She adds Frontenac Blanc is a type of grape and they are the first commercial winery in Ontario to sell it.
Landsborough says they also offer Pinot Noir , Marquette and Tempest.
Catherine along with her husband Jim started the winery in 2009 as a test to see if the vines would survive Huron Countys cold climate.
Catherine Landsborough say they planted about an acre of varieties of grapes.
She adds some survived the winter and some did not.
Landsborough says they are up to eight acres now.
She notes they are thrilled to be the first winery in Huron and have been received nothing but encouraging feedback.
Landsborough tells Bayshore Broadcasting News they are planning to build a tasting room hopefully next year.
Economic Development Officer in Huron East Jan Hawley says she is excited about the new addition in the municipality
Hawley adds she knows of three families that have planted vines this year.
The winery is open every weekend and Landsborough encourages everyone to come out.
