Sugarbush Vineyards

Sugarbush Vineyards grows grapes at Prince Edward County, in the Prince Edward County appellation.

Where it sits

Sugarbush Vineyards is at 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 Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Gamay, Cabernet Franc, Viognier and Gewurztraminer.

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.
