About Featherstone Estate Winery...
Husband and wife team David Johnson and Louise Engel are ‘foodies’ with a passion for wine. Nine years ago they moved to Niagara, purchased a 23 acre property that is the site of their home, Featherstone Estate Winery and vineyard.  David spent the winter of 2007 in New Zealand working at Selini Winery in Hawkes Bay during the grape harvest learning new winemaking techniques that he continues to apply at his own winery.
