At Aleksander Estate Winery, we are very happy to be a contributing member of the Lake Erie North Shore wine producing community and we appreciate the support you lend to us by buying from and promoting the local wine industry. As a small way of saying thank you, AEW in turn tries to support many causes in our community.

Unfortunately, we are not always able to support every request through monetary measures. As a family based, estate winery we do have to set a budget for our charitable contributions. We know that every request we receive is one that is made to assist a worthy cause however in 2009, we have chosen to highlight a few causes that are near and dear to our hearts in an effort to create a significant impact and to remain fiscally responsible.

Currently we are considering requests from local based organizations focusing on betterment of the local community, artistic developement, and animal welfare.

To make a request for a charitable contribution, please complete the AEW Donation Form. On the top right corner of the donation form you will see an "email form" tab which will allow you to email the completed form directly back to AEW.
