Our Growing CompanyToday, Lakeview Cellars is now part of a family of wineries that operate under the umbrella of Diamond Estates Wines & Spirits Ltd. (20 Bees, Birchwood Estate, De Sousa Wine Cellars, EastDell Estates, Lakeview Cellars & Dan Aykroyd Wines). Lakeview Cellars was founded in 1991, by Eddy Gurinskas and his wife Lorraine, creating one of Niagara’s first cottage wineries. The production for that year was 2,300 cases. Eddy established a name for Lakeview early in the Niagara wine industry, by crafting big, bold reds and aromatic whites. Production has since increased by ten-fold to 25,000 cases per year. In 2003, after receiving the Winemaker of the Year award at the Ontario Wine Awards, Eddy felt it was the right time to take retirement and pass the winemaking duties on to his apprentice at the time, Thomas Green. Thomas has continued to follow in Eddy’s footsteps, crafting premium wines on which Lakeview bases its reputation.
