Skye Chase is Southwestern Ontario’s newest winery
Our goal is simple, but audacious: create a winery that will establish Southwest Ontario as one of Canada’s celebrated wine regions.
But if it was easy, anybody could do it. Skye Chase set about to find the best winemakers, vineyard managers, and hospitality professionals to realize this dream. The team has expanded the vineyards, and dedicated their winemaking skills to focus on varietals ideally suited for the region’s unique terroir and climate: hand harvested Rieslings, cool-climate Sauvignon Blancs, and bold Cabernets to name a few.
Currently, Skye Chase is working on a new building that will feature a retail store, tasting room, and Restobar, further enhancing the wine and hospitality experience for visitors and establishing the estate as a destination for wine lovers and explorers alike.
