Pelee Island Winery

The legal entity is Pelee Island Winery & Vineyards Inc., described on its own site as the largest private estate winery in Canada, with a president and managing director based in Kingsville, and no parent, acquirer, or investor was named in any page fetched. Corporations Canada returned zero results, so it is a provincial corporation; the Ontario Business Registry, LinkedIn, and OpenCorporates were not reachable, and the shareholders behind the 1979 founding group are not identified in any source used, so the all-Canadian allocation is an estimate.

Grapes, the main input, come from the winery's own 700 plus acres on Pelee Island, and the site says controlling its own grape supply is the point of the estate. Glass, closures, and labels are not sourced on any page fetched, so the small non-Canadian share for packaging is an estimate, as is the assumption that the non-VQA Canoe series and fruit wines use Canadian fruit.
