[edit]The following tables list all known wineries in the County as of 2010, including virtual wineries, in order of establishment. The year of establishment refers to the year that substantial investment began, e.g. planting of vines or acquisition of winemaking equipment, rather than the date when the property was purchased or when the winery licence was obtained. Data were obtained from the winery websites, from the Canadian Wine Annual,[1] or from the Prince Edward County Winegrowers Association (PECWA).[2] These sources also provide specific winery websites.
Western (Hillier) Wineries
[edit]These wineries are almost all located in Hillier Ward, essentially the region south of County Road 1 (Scoharie Road) and extending from the western shore of the county to just east of County Road 2.
