This region is truly a Vineyard Retreat with 11 EPIC wineries hosting some of the warmest summer weather in Canada with early springs and late falls, offering great food, drink and entertainment. Today, there are approximately 2,000 acres of grapes in Essex County. A tour of Windsor Essex’s wine country has so much to offer wine enthusiasts, foodies and more. Whether by bike, trolley, or car, visit all of the EPIC wineries for an unforgettable experience. Make it a day-trip and be back at home for the evening news, or plan your overnight stay. Spending a day at a winery is fun but exploring a wine region for an entire weekend makes a great getaway. Heading to a Vintage wine tasting, biking from winery to winery, dining at Estate wineries that feel like you are in Italy. This is the ultimate weekend getaway for the foodie and wine lover.
The drive from Toronto is approximately 3.5 - 4 hours and about one hour from the Detroit / Windsor border. You don’t have to go far to feel like you are in Italy as this wine region is located as far south as Northern California and the Tuscany region of Italy, making it the ideal region for some of the world’s best vinifera and French hybrid wine grapes.
If you are looking for something a little different, I would recommend you stay at the Copper's Hawk Vineyard and Vines Restaurant. It is the ultimate glamping experience on your wine tour, great food and drink while overlooking the vineyards surrounded by wildlife such as ducks, herons, and local bald eagles, just to name a few. The perfect spot to unwind and relax. This world class vineyard, also offers best in class weddings and private party services.
