Muscedere Vineyards Estate Winery

Muscedere Vineyards Estate Winery grows grapes at Harrow, in the Lake Erie North Shore appellation.

Where it sits

Muscedere Vineyards Estate Winery is at Harrow, inside Lake Erie North Shore — 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 Vidal, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Nebbiolo and Barbera.

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: 13 acres of vines on a 163-acre family farm.
