The Elmira House was built in 1861 by John Ruppel

The Elmira House was built in 1861 by John Ruppel who was a dealer and importer of dry goods, groceries and hardware. A variety of merchandise was sold, and it was a place where many artisans and merchants came to earn a living. It’s because of this, that Elmira became known as an 'enterprising' community.

Large wine orders for special events like weddings

Large wine orders for special events like weddings or milestone anniversaries can run you up a pretty large bill. Instead, opt for choosing a local business with a more cost-effective solution. @elzeswines allows you to choose from 15-20 different red and white wines that come in 23L kits – that’s 30 bottles of wine! After you choose your kit, you come back for another appointment to bottle your very own wine. It’s best to leave the bottles untouched for at least 3-6 months for the most flavourful wine. Now is the best time to get started, so give them a call to make your appointment at 226-789-2338.
