Dr. William Fitch and Mrs. Linda Rowe Fitch own the vineyard, Domaine Latitude 46 Winery. They noticed the property was up for sale while continuing in full-time practise as a family physician in 2012, with Linda as the bookkeeper and office assistant. Having always wanted to own and operate a small vineyard, a chance meeting with the real estate agent who had the listing led to a more thorough inspection of the site and structure. Unfortunately, all of the winemaking equipment had been sold, but the vineyard machinery remained. They spotted a fantastic opportunity to realise their ambition in a fantastic position close to Moncton, a large metropolis. This resulted in negotiations and a purchase offer.
As they say, the rest is history.
