Pelee Island Winery

Pelee Island is a remarkable place. Lapped by the waters of Lake Erie, it’s the southernmost inhabited part of Canada and home to flora and fauna found nowhere else in the country. The first Canadian estate winery was built here in the 1860s, and today Pelee Island Winery farms 750 acres of vineyards. It takes its stewardship of the land very seriously. As well as having SWO winery and vineyard certification, it meets 57% of its energy needs through solar energy. Meanwhile, the company benefits the community in a host of ways, supporting local causes from food banks to health to the arts.
