Discover the Wine RegionSituated at the same latitude as the Mediterranean, the Lake Erie North Shore Region benefits from its proximity to Lake Erie which offers a unique maritime climate in a continental region. Grape growers in the Lake Erie North Shore and Pelee Island Designated Viticultural Areas grow some of the world's finest vinifera and French hybrid wine grapes that continually and reliably produce award winning, world class wines, including naturally produced ice wines. The region is a winemaker's paradise blessed with exceptional soil conditions and a regional climate which offers longer sun hours and greater heat units than any other area in Canada. In fact, geographically speaking, it is located as far south as northern California and the Tuscany region of Italy, and further south than the renowned Bordeaux and Burgundy wine regions of France. Our Region is experiencing rapid wine tourism growth, with 14 wineries and more to come. Experience fine wines and exquisite food pairings from many of the regional wineries. For more information visit the SWOVA web site.
"The growth has been unbelievable. To have 13 wineries in such a short time come up in this Region, and the way the partnerships are working out,
and the wine route - that is all part of what we're trying to build in tourism. The wineries have not stopped only at making wine -
they have incorporated into their mix the culinary experience" Minister of Tourism - Peter Fonseca
