Pelee Island Winery is a winery in Kingsville, Ontario, Canada. They cultivate over 700-acre (2.8 km2) of vineyards on Pelee Island, which is in the South Islands Sub-Appellation of the Lake Erie North Shore Appellation of Ontario along the shores of Lake Erie.[1]
At just under 42 degrees North, Pelee Island is at a latitude similar to that of Rioja, Spain; Porto, Portugal; Provence, France; and Tuscany, Italy. It is Canada’s southernmost inhabited spot, and offers a longer growing season than any other Canadian wine region. The island, located in Lake Erie, is 25 kilometres from shore. Harvest is early, with picking usually beginning at the end of August. Late-harvest grapes are often in by mid-October.
