| Pelee Island |
| |
The Island is rich in winemaking history. In 1891, Captain J.S. Hamilton, the president of Pelee Island Wine Company and
J.S. Hamilton & Co., began construction of a three-storey building made from stone quarried on Pelee Island. Named the Wine
House, it was located on five acres near the west dock on Pelee Island. From the winepress on the third floor, juice was
piped to thousand-gallon vats on the lowest level. Initially, the cellar of the Wine House contained between 15 and 18 of
these vats.
In 1979 the Pelee Island Winery was re-established by a group committed not just to building a world-class winery, but also
to the natural heritage of the island. The century old tradition of grape growing on the island continues. We now produce
around 2 dozen different wines, and are the largest VQA wine producer in Ontario. We think J.S. Hamilton would approve. |

| Our Environment |
| |
| The health of our environment rests in the hands of each and every one of us. At Pelee Island Winery, we employ a proactive
approach to maintaining and bettering the microclimate we are so fortunate to have. It begins in our vineyards where Bruno
Friesen, our viticulturalist, uses a protocol for integrated pest management, developed with support from World Wildlife
Fund Canada (WWF), and regularly monitors the health of our vines and our clay soils. Our commitment to the limited use of
ecologically responsible pesticide spraying and use of all natural island grown fertilizer are two examples of what he has
done to take the vineyards above and beyond the guidelines provided. |
