The Best Wineries in Prince Edward County You Should Visit This Year

As Ontario’s fastest-growing wine region, Prince Edward County has some of the best wineries in the province. Its limestone-rich soils produce an abundance of award-winning wines, and its selection of tasting rooms is nothing short of spectacular. Many wineries specialize in producing Pinot Noir and Chardonnay; however, wines such as Cabernet Franc, Riesling, Gamay, Pinot Gris, Baco Noir and Merlot are gaining in popularity. 

With over 40 wineries in Prince Edward County, it can be difficult deciding which ones to visit. Depending on how much time you have, I suggest visiting one or even all of the following wineries. You’ll be glad you did!
