Ontario is Canada's second largest Province, 1.1 million sq. km bounded on the north by the Hudson Bay, in the south by the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River. Its vast land goes from flat bogs and small tree forests of the north, to dense forest, 1000 lakes, and rocky hills to the more populated lands of the south. Ontario extends below the 49 th parallel more than any other part of Canada.
Extending between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie to the East and Lake Huron to the West is where Ontario wine producers grow their grapes. The fertile soils and moderate climate combine to produce orchards and vineyards yielding fruits of unique character and supreme quality.
The word Ontario means sparkling water. To some of us, it means tasting the fruits of the soil..wine.

Tony Aspler in his book "Wine Lover's Companion" refers to Ontario Icewine as the world's best tasting secret.

Many of the wineries are located in the historic Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario's oldest community.

Join us as we tour the Niagara Peninsula Wineries

Ontario has four distinct growing regions plus the wineries in Toronto..

Niagara Peninsula Lake Erie North Shore  Pelee Island  Prince Edward County  Toronto

 

As the industry grows in Ontario, so do the regions in which grapes are grown and wine is produced. A number of wineries now do their processing and bottling in Toronto
