Trail Estate Winery
Trail Estate Winery grows grapes at Hillier, in the Prince Edward County appellation.
Where it sits
Trail Estate Winery is at Hillier, 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, Pinot Noir, Baco Noir, Riesling, Cabernet Franc, Gewurztraminer and Geisenheim.
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: 6.5 acres.
Visiting
