12  artists are confirmed.  All of the artists have been featured on past or present Artist Series or Artist Series Limited Edition wine labels.  They are all from Ontario and are all winners of the annual Artist Series Label Call for Art Contest.  Each piece selected to be label art had to embody the ‘Spirit of Ontario’ theme.

‘Wine is one of the few products that we buy without the opportunity to experience it. Hillebrand’s Artist Series labels really help the wine shopper by giving a sense of the feeling or mood of the wine in the bottle. A picture is worth a thousand words.’ – Munnelly, Wine Writer & Event Host

‘Since 2006 we have been showcasing artists from our own backyard on our Artist Series labels.  Whether they are past or present artists, each has developed a strong attachment to the Artist Series brand and Hillebrand as a supporter of the arts in Ontario.  They are all so pleased to be involved in an event that showcases them alongside these wines.’ – Adine Fabiani, Brand Manager, Hillebrand Winery

Hillebrand Winery and Hillebrand Winery Restaurant capture the very essence of Niagara wine country; with single barrel and single vineyard wines that reflect our local terroir, 100 Mile Tasting Menu’s sourced from nearby farmers and interactive wine experiences such as Trius Art of Red – Blending Experience.  With more than 200,000 visitors each year, Hillebrand Winery has become one of the premier destinations for visitors to one of Canada’s most beautiful regions.
