Wine Tours
Prince Edward County is Ontario`s newest wine region. The growing season is as long as the Niagara Region, but the winters are colder. Vineyards are next to Lake Ontario, which has a moderating effect on the air temperatures.In 2000 we had one winery. Today we have close to a dozen. Several more are in the building and planning stages.
