Vivace Estate Winery

Vivace Estate Winery grows grapes at Amherstburg, in the Lake Erie North Shore appellation. It dates its founding to 2017.

Where it sits

Vivace Estate Winery is at Amherstburg, 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 Marquette, Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Baco Noir.

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

Open to visitors (per site, 2026-10-16)
