Vinifera For Life is the brainchild of Certified Chef de Cuisine Mark Walpole.

His natural instincts as a chef combined with Walpole's proximity to Niagara Wine Country, led to the development of a grape flour/powder.

Vinifera For Life takes grape seeds and skins - which are disposed or used as fertilizer by wineries following crush - turning them into a premium ingredient in gourmet bread, pasta and other products.

Wine grapes have commonly been shown to have health-promoting effects and Walpole's product is no exception possessing components which help to fight off a multitude of illnesses including cancer.

As the driving force of Vinifera For Life, Walpole has put his more than 30 years of experience as an internationally-recognized chef to good use.

The possibilities seem endless as Walpole continues to seek out new uses for his product including the possibility of using the flour or powder to produce crackers, snack foods, cheese, energy bars or drinks.
