On March 8, Education News Canada shared NC’s release announcing that the College is among a list of wineries and vineyards that have achieved Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario (SWO) certification.
The release notes that winemakers and grape growers who achieve the certification are audited annually on water and waste management, energy efficiencies, social responsibility, commitment to diversity in the workplace, and more, to ensure that the complete grape-to-glass path is sustainable.
NC is one of 57 sustainable winegrowers of the new SWO Certified program. It is among 34 vineyards that are now SWO Certified Grape Growers and 24 wineries that have achieved the SWO Winery Certification. The NC Teaching Winery will be among Ontario VQA wines that bear the SWO Certified logo beginning with its 2022 vintage.
