Ontario’s Exceptional Wines

On the Cutting Edge of Cool!

Place is everything when it comes to wine. It’s where the sun, the rain, the air and the soil all meet – one special and unique place, like nowhere else on Earth. When combined, all of these elements create the perfect setting for stellar grapes. Stellar grapes create stellar wine. And in every glass, you’ll taste the essence of our place. Cool climates are said to produce the most elegant and exciting wines in the world. Our place is Ontario, and it is the epitome of cool climate.

Latitude: Perfection at 41° to 44° North

While you might think Ontario is too far north for growing grapes, Ontario’s wine regions share the same latitude as renowned regions like Tuscany and Oregon. Ontario’s angle to the sun allows us to soak up every drop of sunshine needed to ripen classic grape varieties.

Ontario’s grape-growing season compares to top internationally recognized wine regions. 110 Days + Fluctuations in Daily Temperature = Perfect Balance + Delicious Fruit Expression

“Ontario wines: a ‘middle-earth’ position between Old and New Worlds.”

– Andrew Jefford, Decanter

“Great Lakes”: Ontario’s Magnificent Moderators

Lakes Ontario, Erie and Huron – part of the largest freshwater system in the world – shape Ontario’s wine regions and moderate the extremes of our continental climate. They create the perfect cool climate conditions, giving our wines elegance, structure, food friendliness and good aging potential.

• Cool lake air in the spring protects vines from early bud break and spring frost

• Air flow during the growing season moderates hot summer days, and maintains freshness and acidity

• Warm lake air in the fall extends the growing season, providing perfect ripening conditions

Limestone: 500 Million Years in the Making

If there were to be a “most famous” soil type for producing fine wine, it would probably be limestone. Ontario’s soils in the Great Lakes basin vary from sand to clay to rock, with a high concentration of limestone from an ancient seabed that was exposed to over one million years of glacial activity. Ontario is one of the few wine regions in the world that is founded on limestone, similar to Burgundy and Champagne.

These limestone nutrients and minerality produce a special lift and elegance in our wine.

Our Appellations at a Glance

Ontario’s wine country is situated in the heart of the world’s fine wine zone. Located between 41° and 44° North and stretching across 18,000 acres (7,284 hectares), our vineyards are made up of complex limestonebased soils created by glaciers thousands of years ago. Ontario’s appellations, geographically defined wine areas, benefit directly from their proximity to three of the five Great Lakes of North America, the largest fresh water system in the world. This unique combination of latitude, lakes and limestone is the foundation on which Ontario is making globally acclaimed wines.

Niagara Peninsula

Ontario’s oldest wine appellation draws its cool climate character from winds off the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario. Complex glacial soils carved from the Ice Age are the backbone for exciting wines from a wide range of grapes. This appellation encompasses 10 sub-appellations and three regional appellations. (See maps at right.)

Lake Erie North Shore

Ontario’s southernmost appellation benefits from warm temperatures and a long growing season. The warm, shallow waters of Lake Erie afford excellent ripening conditions for full-bodied wine. This appellation encompasses Ontario’s newest sub-appellation, South Islands, which includes well-known Pelee Island.

Prince Edward County

Ontario’s coolest appellation is a virtual island on the northeastern end of Lake Ontario with more than 800 kilometres of shoreline, including renowned Sandbanks Provincial Park. Stony calcareous limestone soils and a short growing season produce concentrated fruit resulting in wines with bright acidity and distinct mineral character.

Origin, Quality, Authenticity

Ontario VQA wines are exceptional thanks to rigorous standards set by the Ontario Wine Appellation Authority (OWAA). Through audits, inspections and testing, the appellation system ensures quality, authenticity and a true expression of Ontario’s unique terroirs.

Decoding the Label

Wine labels may seem complex, but they offer valuable information about what’s inside the bottle. While the VQA logo might not always be present, look for the VQA letters surrounding the appellation to ensure your wine is VQA certified.

Appellation Where grapes are grown

Always look for the VQA letters

Appellation Pyramid

Ontario has identified primary grapegrowing regions, or “appellations”, where the soil and climate create unique growing conditions. Terroir, meaning “sense of place,” is the term used to describe the sum of these factors–soil, climate and natural surroundings–that shape a wine’s character. Understanding an appellation helps you appreciate the distinct characteristics of its wines. All VQA wines must declare where the grapes are grown, whether it’s simply Ontario or a more specific region or sub-appellation.

Hero Varieties & Signature Styles

While many Ontario VQA wineries offer a diverse selection of varietals and styles worth exploring, seven varieties and four signature styles stand out as the most common in Ontario VQA winemaking. These wines are perfectly suited to Ontario’s cool climate, producing balanced expressions of acidity, sweetness and vibrant fruit characteristics.

Hero Varieties

Looking for Ontario’s best? Ask for one of these standout varieties at your tasting. Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Gamay, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Baco Noir

Signature Styles

Icewine, Sparkling, Rosé, Cabernet Merlot

Sustainability

VQA wines are 100% grown and crafted in Ontario, making them the most sustainable choice for Ontarians.

Why look any further than your own backyard? Choosing local wines benefits both the environment and local economy.

Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario Certified

Ontario’s VQA wine and grape industry is inherently connected to the environment. Growers and winemakers rely on the natural resources our planet provides, and are mindful of the impact their businesses have on our world.

Producers of certified sustainable wines and the growers who cultivate their vineyards are caretakers of the land, committed community partners, climate action leaders and advocates for social equity and diversity. By practicing environmentally responsible and sustainable approaches in both vineyards and wineries, they ensure that the communities they serve, the land they farm and their businesses remain healthy and viable for future generations.

Look for the SWO logo on labels to determine whether the VQA wine is certified sustainable.

Wineries that produce Sustainable Winegrowing Ontario (SWO) Certified wines are identified by the green leaf icon in the Wines of Ontario Travel Guide.

The Last Word

Ontario’s wine country and VQA wines are leading the world in the cool climate wine scene.

And if you purchase from the LCBO, be sure to look for VQA on the label so you know the wine is 100% Ontario grown and crafted.

Taste Responsibly

Wine is a beautiful thing, but alcohol should be consumed in moderation. When visiting wine country, be sure to choose a designated driver or hire a tour company.

Travelling with Wine
