Hardie

Hardie grows grapes at Wellington, Prince Edward County, in the Prince Edward County appellation. It dates its founding to 2004.

Where it sits

Hardie is at Wellington, Prince Edward County, inside Prince Edward County — one of the three appellations of origin recognised under Ontario's VQA system. What that claim means on a label, and how the boundary is defined in regulation, is set out on the regions page.

What it grows

The winery works with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris.

Each of those has a page here on how it behaves in Ontario: the heat it needs to ripen, the Brix it reaches at harvest, and which parts of the province actually plant it.

Visiting

Monday-Thursday 11am to 5pm

Also in Prince Edward County: Hubbs Creek Vineyard, Keint-He Winery and Vineyards. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
