Fine wines were produced in Prince Edward County more than a century ago. At the 1876 Philadelphia Exposition, a County winery won the Blue Ribbon for its wines. However, in the intervening years, the focus on winemaking was lost — until in the 1990’s a group of intrepid wine industry pioneers rediscovered the region.
After two years spent analyzing County soils, Deborah Paskus settled upon Hillier Township, as the ideal location for her dream vineyard — south sloping at six degrees, good drainage, gravelly soil on a limestone base, approximately five kilometres inshore — land that was once the Closson family farm, early settlers to the County. Now the dream could take flight.
