Seasons in the Vineyard is a Wines In Niagara photo essay series by local photographer Elena Galey-Pride.
Elena spends a great deal of her time documenting the circle of life in the vineyard — from new beginnings in spring, the season of hope, then moving into summer, where warmth and gentle rains give life to the vines, to fall, when plump ripe grapes are harvested to make delicious wines, to winter, the dangerous season when vines are dormant and it’s a fight for survival out there. We are documenting the four seasons in the vineyard with this series.

About Elena Galey-Pride
Elena Galey-Pride switched gears 20 years ago, leaving the corporate world to take her PR and marketing skills to wine country. After successful start-ups with two innovative Niagara wineries, Elena launched her solo effort as a marketing and social media consultant, dealing primarily with winery and wine event clients. Along the way, she picked up her camera again, and began focusing in on vineyards, wineries, wine events and wine people. Her company, Winestains, is named for the stain that wine made on Elena’s life, and for the indelible impressions that she helps her clients to make.
Absolutely love your work
Beautiful images Elena!
Awesome photos! I particularly love “Early shoot growth on the Pinot Noir in the Le Clos Jordanne Vineyard” and the next one “Wild flowers grow between the rows in the On Seven Vineyard in Niagara-on-the-Lake”.
What a fantastic photo story! It really captures the look and feel of spring in the vineyard. So fresh and vibrant!
