Lake Erie Wine CountryAll wines start with grapes and all grapes start with “terroir” or the dirt and climate in which the grapes are grown. Lake Erie Wine Country, formerly the Chautauqua-Lake Erie Wine Trail, is located in the largest grape growing region east of the Rockies, now known as America’s Grape Country. It extends roughly 40 miles from Silver Creek, NY (Chautauqua County) to North East, Pennsylvania (Erie County), and is home to over 23 commercial and estate wineries.

The Creation of Terroir – Geological HistoryDuring the Ice Age, glaciers descended from the north gouging out great trenches and bringing with them tremendous quantities of Canadian soil, rocks and boulders. As temperatures began to warm, these glaciers receded, filling the trenches with glacial melt to form the Great Lakes and leaving in their wake ridges of soil and gravel along the Lake Erie shore. These glacial ridges are the basis for ideal growing conditions for wine grapes and fruit trees. The well-drained gravel-loam soils and the moderating effect of the lake on spring and fall temperatures combine to create the perfect growing environment or “terroir” for healthy vineyards and premium wines and one that is not unlike that found in parts of Germany.

Viticultural HistoryFor over one hundred years, the area has been home to a vigorous grape and juice industry supplied by 30,000 acres of vineyards. The majority of these vineyards are labruscan grapes, such as Concord and Niagara. Almost five decades ago, Frederick Johnson (Johnson Estate est. 1961) and Doug Moorehead (Presque Isle est. 1968) were pioneers in planting French-American hybrid and vinifera grapes in the area. Passage of the Pennsylvania Limited Winery Act (1968) and the New York Farm Winery Act (1976) sparked the creation of a chateau or “estate” industry and in the last ten years, the planting of premium wine grapes has accelerated, paralleling the growth in the number of wineries.

The WinesToday, the twenty-three wineries in Lake Erie Wine Country produce an abundant and diverse list of wines that fall into four categories:

Fruity, Native Labruscas: Concord, Ives, Niagara, Delaware

French-American Wines: Seyval, Vidal (popular for ice wines), Chancellor, Chambourcin, Marechal Foch

European Vinifera Wines: Riesling, Chardonnay, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon

Dessert and Specialty Wines: Sweet late harvest and ice wines,fortified wines (Brandy, Port, Sherry), fruit and sparkling wines
