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 most southerly inhabited point, and has a longer growing season than any other wine region in Canada. The island, in Lake Erie, is 25 kilometres from the mainland. Harvest is early, with picking usually beginning at the end of August. Late-harvest grapes are often in by mid-October.
