Pelee Island Winery

Pelee Island Winery is one of Ontario’s most distinctive wine destinations, with vineyards on Canada’s southernmost inhabited island and a mainland winery in Kingsville. Surrounded by Lake Erie, warm breezes, rich soil, and a long growing season, Pelee Island offers ideal conditions for grape growing and has a deep history connected to Canadian winemaking. The winery is known for producing a wide range of wines, including reds, whites, rosés, sparkling wines, and seasonal selections. Its vineyards benefit from the island’s unique climate, which helps create wines with character, freshness, and regional identity. Visitors can enjoy tastings, shop for bottles, and learn more about the winemaking process through tours and visitor experiences. There are two main visitor locations. The Pelee Island Pavilion offers a relaxed island experience with vineyard history, tastings, outdoor space, and a laid-back summer atmosphere. The Kingsville winery is where much of the winemaking takes place and offers tours, tastings, retail shopping, and event space on the mainland. Pelee Island Winery is especially appealing for wine lovers, couples, day-trippers, cyclists, and visitors exploring Essex County, Kingsville, or Pelee Island. Whether someone is taking the ferry to the island, enjoying a wine-country tour, or stopping at the mainland winery, it offers a memorable taste of southwestern Ontario. Overall, Pelee Island Winery combines island scenery, local wine, agricultural heritage, and relaxed hospitality. It is a signature destination in the Lake Erie North Shore wine region and a meaningful stop for anyone interested in Ontario wine country.
