Border City Living

Eats & Drinks

Cooper’s Hawk Vineyards

Located on the 42nd parallel, Essex-County wineries are the same distance from the equator as parts of Italy, France and the great wine regions of California. Our unique proximity to Lake Erie, exceptional soil conditions, longer sun hours and greater heat units than any other area in Canada contribute to the quality of the grapes. This being said, our region has been getting a lot of notoriety for its wines and that makes our local-supporting, Border City Living team of wine-lovers very happy.

You may have noticed lately that we’ve been partnering up with one of our favourite estate wineries, Cooper’s Hawk Vineyard  –  located in the countryside just east of Harrow. For a newer winery, they’ve been successfully experimenting with some award-winning flavours all while focusing on sustainability and minding their environmental impact. Even though I’m an a bonafide urban dweller, I spent the first decade of my life in the county, not far from where the Cooper’s Hawk winery is now. One of the things that draw me to their property (besides the great wine of course) is how owners Tom & Katy O’Brien and Debbie & Dave Meloche treat their 18 acres of vines as a farm first.

Owner Tom O’Brien, a retired accountant, took us on a tour through their grounds. It’s clear that they’ve been growing and running their multiple halls, patios, restaurant and tours since 2011 with thought and attention to detail. Their facility, a slight contrast to some of the more rowdy wineries of the region, is a bit more serene and contemplative. Less of a place for bachelor parties and more suited for smaller weddings and parties, catered to those who’d prefer to celebrate as close as possible to the vines as they can get. We’re suckers for the oversized windows and all the natural elements. 

In addition to their special events, where guests can partner with them for an afternoon theatre performance, jazz festival or family day, their Tuscany-inspired tasting room is open year-round and seasonal restaurant, Vines, boasts local ingredients put together by their high caliber culinary team. Renowned designer, Helena Ventrella worked closely with one of our favourite up-and-coming designers, Kori Diotte, to coordinate the millwork and cabinetry from Joe Diotte Cabinetry Designs.

In their busy season Cooper’s Hawk staffs over 45 people from farmers to their head winemaker, Adam Graham. They encourage creativity, with their fruit forward varieties such as their top selling rosé (served with an after dinner chocolate treat), and their slightly sweet and creamy Pinot Grigio made with 20 year-old vines. You can find Cooper’s Hawk wines in your local LCBO and at Border City Living events. Visit their restaurant 7 days a week during high season and from Thursday-Sunday, (reduced hours January-April). Follow their social media for special events throughout the rest of the season.

Freya is one of our favourite spots in Detroit and it is also featured in the latest issue of the BCL magazine ~ Who else has been? 🙋🏼‍♀️

We cook, you eat. A food menu? How old-fashioned. At Freya, a multi-course meal, consisting of several small plates is paired meticulously with a corresponding beverage. The only important decision you'll make is what to have from the 'music menu' passed from guest to guest throughout the evening🎶

Perfect for the, "I don't know what I feel like tonight, you choose", person in your life-- as long as you're into Moodyman.

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!

~What does 'supporting small business' mean to us?~

Helping hardworking visionaries to achieve their dreams is what we do at BCL. So we're unbelievably grateful that many of our favourite small business owners have become our real estate clients.

Amor and Mauricio, owners of Walkerville's Café Amor on Ottawa St., are just the kind of people we love to work with. They do everything it takes to make their dreams a reality — and they always do it with a smile 🤗. Fantastic coffee, a colourful atmosphere and excellent service; it's no wonder they were busting at the seams and needed an upgrade.
 
To secure their new location, we helped them navigate the process of selling properties, and purchasing off-market with non-traditional financing, construction and permitting. 

Their grit, perseverance, creativity and positive attitudes helped them keep their eyes on the prize throughout the entire process. As a result, we couldn't be happier to see them operating in a location double the size to accommodate their growing number of customers.

We’ve been quieter than usual this last quarter of 2022 as we hunkered down to work on something that has changed the direction of our company’s future. Until we’re able to share the news officially in 2023, we’d like to announce that our print magazine, blog and socials will begin to reflect more of our own projects after six years of documenting what’s been happening out there in the Windsor community.

Not to say that we won’t still be sharing our favourite destinations and designs with you, because we definitely still will be. Now, as it happens, many of our favourite, well-designed destinations throughout the county are BCL projects in some way. Connecting people with inspiring properties is what we do best, and we want to keep doing it!

From colourful, creative homes to the city’s best cafés, we’ll be pivoting to share stories with you of homes that BCL has designed as well as homes and properties that our clients have developed and reimagined in an inspiring way. 

We’ll also be documenting more behind-the-scenes of our staging projects, new BCL flips, and insights into how we believe thoughtfully acquired and developed real estate can make Windsor & Essex a more beautiful place for generations to come.

Happy Holidays and cheers to our clients, collaborators, friends and future clients-to-be!
