The Grand River Valley Wine Trail

A dozen wineries · 5–20 min

The wine region around the estate: wineries strung along the Grand River inside the Lake Erie AVA, most within twenty minutes of the door.

The Grand River Valley is the wine region the estate sits inside. Lake Erie warms and cools more slowly than the land, holding the growing season long and cool along the river, which is why cool-climate grapes ripen here. A dozen wineries sit within a short drive, from tasting rooms in old farmhouses to patios over the vines.

From the innkeepers

Pick two or three wineries for an afternoon rather than racing the whole trail, and finish back at the estate for dinner.
