City Over the Vines

This vibrant vineyard scene is inspired by the unique charm of Niagara’s wine region, where rows of vines stretch toward the water and, from just the right angle, the Toronto skyline appears in the distance. Painted in a bold, impressionist style, it’s all about loose brushstrokes, colour, and creativity—no perfection required.

A Winter's Drive at Reif

The Story Behind the Scene

This winter painting is inspired by Reif Estate Winery, one of Niagara on the Lake’s founding family wineries. Planted in 1977 and officially established in 1982 by Klaus W. Reif, the vineyard sits in Ontario’s warmest sub-appellation where sun-loving grapes thrive.

 

The painting captures the original estate building, snow-covered vineyard rows, and a vintage truck that nods to the winery’s heritage. As you paint, you’re not just creating a peaceful winter scene, you’re honouring a rich family legacy that continues to grow.

Exclusive to Reifstyle Wine Club Members (November 2025).
