About Us

Our History – Rooted in Expertise and a Legacy of Quality

In 2003, our owner Wes Wiens, a third-generation grape farmer, began his training under Martin Gemmrich. Like his father and grandfather, Martin was renowned for premium grapevine production in the Niagara region. From this, Wes and Briar Wiens founded VineTech Canada Inc. Gemmrich’s mentorship introduced them to European techniques and rigorous standards, laying the foundation for their commitment to quality in grapevine propagation.

By 2013, VineTech recognized a need for a trusted trellising supplier, leading to the creation of AgTech Supply Canada Inc., a subsidiary offering diverse trellising solutions and GPS Planting Services. Today, VineTech is dedicated to serving Canadian wineries and grape growers through innovative products and premium services. Looking ahead, we continue to advance our industry through sustainable practices that ensure its long-term success and excellence.

Commitment to Innovation

From the start, we have been driven to master new technologies in our industry, responding to our customer’s evolving needs. Early investments in GPS guidance for nursery tractors enhanced efficiency and laid the groundwork to implement GPS-enabled vine planting services. Our commitment to sustainable practices led to adopting certified biodegradable weed barriers, further reducing our carbon footprint in the nursery. More recently, our CleanVine™ program continues to advance the industry by pioneering hydroponic techniques for controlled and traceable vine propagation.
