The Vineyards
The quality of the wine starts in the vineyard! The unique microclimate of the vineyards at Pelee Island Winery provides the perfect airflow with limited humidity. The important PH, acidity, and sugar levels determine the quality of the grapes produced from the vineyard along with the combination of the perfect soil and weather. It’s obvious that the folks at the Pelee Island Vineyards take their jobs very seriously!
The Wine
Lead by winemakers Walter Schemoranz and Martin Janz, the Pelee Island Winery prides itself in high quality wines. With ten to twelve varieties of wine produced every year, the team at Pelee Island Winery can definitely pat themselves on the back for the taste and memorability of these award winning white and red wines.
