Ontario's Wine Regions

Ontario's wine regions, primarily located around Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, benefit from a unique climate influenced by the large lakes, creating ideal conditions for grape growing. The most renowned area, Niagara Peninsula, is known for its rich, mineral-driven wines like Riesling and Cabernet Franc. Prince Edward County offers cooler climate wines with bright acidity and is celebrated for Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Lake Erie's Pelee Islands produce expressive, balanced wines with a distinct regional character. These regions' diverse microclimates and soils contribute to a variety of high-quality wines, making Ontario a significant and dynamic player in Canada's wine industry.
