OVA surpasses 50 winery members
The Ontario Viniculture Association (OVA) has come of age. The organization has expanded to allow membership for any winery in Ontario, or any strong supporter of these wineries.

September 19, 2008, Picton, Ont. – The Ontario Viniculture Association (OVA) has come of age.

In late April of this year, the Central Ontario Viniculture Association expanded to allow membership for any winery in Ontario, or any strong supporter of these wineries. The OVA now has 55 member wineries, including six wineries in the process of opening their doors to the public.

Internet links to each of these wineries are listed at http://littlefatwino.com/ova.html.

The OVA is the only organization dedicated to leveling the playing field for all 100 per cent Ontario grown wines. Government programs and opportunities need to be accessible to and represent all Ontario wineries producing locally grown wine.

The OVA is not politically affiliated but looks forward to working with any government or organization to shape the next level of the vibrant Ontario industry. This industry will have players of all sizes working on a level playing field and will stand out on local, provincial, national and international stages.

The OVA welcomes all interested parties to join with us.
