Lighthall Vineyards

Lighthall Vineyards grows grapes at Milford, in the Prince Edward County appellation. It dates its founding to 2008.

Where it sits

Lighthall Vineyards is at Milford, 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, Vidal, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Chardonnay.

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.

Vineyard area: over 60 acres.

Visiting

'Open 7 days a week from 10:00am to 5:00pm. The last tasting starts at 4:45pm.'

Also in Prince Edward County: Morandin Wines, Redtail Vineyards. The full list is on the Ontario wineries page.
