Pelee Island Winery

Pelee Island Winery is an estate winery located in Kingsville that operates vineyards on Pelee Island in the Lake Erie North Shore region. The operation spans approximately 700 acres of grapevines where various wine styles are produced.

Grape cultivation on the island began in 1854 with early plantings that established the region as a wine area. The modern winery was founded in 1982, building on more than a century of growing experience.

The winery takes its name from Pelee Island, where the vineyard operations began. Community members visit throughout the year for tastings and guided tours of the grapevines.

The location in Kingsville offers a tasting room, guided vineyard walks, and an outdoor terrace where visitors can sit. Event spaces are available for groups and special occasions.

The vineyard sits at 42 degrees North latitude, matching the location of major wine regions in Spain, Portugal, France, and Italy. This shared latitude means the grapes grow under similar climate conditions to these famous winemaking areas.
