Dan Sullivan is someone who is quite charismatic, but at the same time he’s one of the humblest and kind-natured spirits I’ve come across in my two decades in the industry. He’s down-to-earth and funny, but his vision for Rosehall Run and Prince Edward County is serious, and nothing short of inspiring.

Originally, when Sullivan decided to delve deeper into winemaking beyond the Amateur Winemakers of Ontario, he had been looking for land in Niagara. Instead, he became one of the first winemakers to purchase vineyard land in Prince Edward County. Here he planted some of the first vinifera vines to go into the County’s unique limestone soils, that eventually began to produce some of the best wines of the region. By crafting quality wines with a sense of place, Sullivan was able to bring his early winemaking dreams to fruition.
