Why Liability Insurance Is Critical for Your Winery
Without adequate liability insurance, your winery could face significant financial and legal challenges. A well-crafted policy protects you against:
- Public Injuries: A customer trips over an electrical cord at your winery and sues you.
- Defective Products: A bottle of wine with a production defect causes harm.
- Business Risks: Claims of negligence, property damage, or cyber-attacks.

Key Insurance Coverage for Ontario Wineries
Professional liability insurance helps protect wineries in southern and southwestern Ontario against claims of negligence or failure to deliver services as promised. It’s also called errors and omissions insurance.
Product liability insurance is recommended for anyone who sells, manufactures, or distributes wine. It covers manufacturing defects. You may also want to add product recall insurance to protect your winery from financial losses that can result from wine being recalled.
Commercial general liability (CGL) insurance helps protect your Ontario vineyard business if you’re found legally liable for bodily injuries or property damage to an attendee at an event or supplier at your catering business.
Cyber liability insurance will help protect you financially should there be a cyber-attack.
Event liability insurance is recommended to cover third-party bodily injury or third-party property damage claims that may arise at an event.
Liquor Liability Insurance is vital for wineries hosting tastings or events, protecting you from lawsuits caused by over-served guests. Adding liquor liability insurance to your wine insurance policy offers protection from potential lawsuits. It will help cover third-party bodily injury and property damage claims caused by an intoxicated attendee at a wine tasting, for example.
Did you know? Southern and southwestern Ontario are favorable to wineries because of the Great Lakes, the Niagara Escarpment, the region's soil, and moderate climate. Get Winery insurance.

Business interruption insurance supports you when your Ontario vineyard can’t operate due to a covered loss, such as damage to your equipment from fire or vandalism.
Crop insurance typically protects against losses to crops caused by natural perils, such as drought, hail, and frost.
