A Curated Wine Selection
The wine list at Somewhere Inn Collingwood offers a range of styles from crisp whites and sparkling wines to rich reds, all sourced from unique, low-intervention, organic and natural producers. Whether you prefer something light and fruity like a Zanotto ‘Fiumano’ Prosecco or a more full-bodied red like Clos del Rey ‘Le Sabina’ Rouge, there’s something for every wine lover to enjoy.
Each wine is handpicked to highlight the region’s terroir, creating a tasting experience that is both authentic and approachable. With options ranging from Ontario-grown Bachelder ‘Parfum de Niagara’ Pinot Noir to the bold flavors of Spanish Olivier Rivière ‘Rayos Uva’ Rioja, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to try something new and exciting.
What Are Organic, Biodynamic, and Natural Wines?
Organic wines are made from grapes that are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. The focus is on nurturing the vineyard’s ecosystem, allowing the grapes to thrive in their natural environment.
Biodynamic wines take this a step further by incorporating holistic farming practices. This approach considers the vineyard as a self-sustaining ecosystem, using compost and cover crops to enhance soil health. Biodynamic viticulture also follows a lunar calendar for planting and harvesting, adding a spiritual dimension to winemaking.
Natural wines, on the other hand, are produced with minimal intervention. This means little to no additives during fermentation and very low levels of sulfites. The result is a wine that is often cloudy, funky, and bursting with unique flavors—truly a reflection of the grapes and the terroir.
Why Makes Natural Wines Wines Fun to Try?
Exploring organic, biodynamic, and natural wines can feel like a treasure hunt. Each bottle is a unique expression of its vineyard and winemaker, offering unexpected flavors and aromas. This unpredictability can lead to delightful surprises, making the tasting experience exciting and enjoyable. These wines are often made in smaller quantities, giving them a sense of exclusivity. Wine enthusiasts love discovering hidden gems that may not be available in large retail markets. Tasting organic and natural wines can also spark interesting conversations about sustainability, farming practices, and the art of winemaking.
The Beauty of Choosing a Bottle Over a Glass
When it comes to enjoying wine, opting for a bottle rather than a glass can be a game-changer. Not only is it more economical, especially when sharing with friends, but it also opens up a wider selection of unique wines. At Somewhere Inn, our wine list—curated by Gibson & Co.—features organic, biodynamic, and low-intervention wines. By choosing a bottle, you can explore rare vintages and nuanced flavors not typically available by the glass.
Get Creative with Your Wine Selections
Are you tired of always ordering the same varietals? Step outside your comfort zone with our diverse wine list, featuring options from around the world. Instead of defaulting to your usual Cabernet Sauvignon, why not try a vibrant Zinfandel or a refreshing Sauvignon Blanc? At Somewhere Inn, we encourage guests to explore new flavors, offering a carefully curated selection that caters to every palate.

Not sure which wine to choose? We offer a “try before you buy” option, allowing you to sample a small taste before committing to a full glass or bottle.
