  • D'ONT POKE BEARS

    D'Ont Poke the Bear is a passionate creation that produces great VQA Ontario wines and craft cider. This brand was born out of a desire to stand up against bullying and to celebrate those who fight back and put their friends first... and they put the apostrophe wherever they want!

    D'Ont Poke the Bear believes in Feel Out Loud — the largest movement supporting youth mental health in Canada’s history — as a proud supporter of Kids Help Phone’s 24/7, free, bilingual, confidential e-mental health services.

    Polite until provoked... don't poke the bear.
