Visit Cape Vineyards from vine to glass our attention to detail is expressed through every moment. From our estate grown grapes we sculpt your experience. Break away from the ordinary and discover Cape Vineyards.
In 2010, after many years of wine making and researching the best land in Prince Edward County, Michael Lewis found Cape Vessey. He purchased 120 acres of prime land protected by a limestone rock escarpment and Lake Ontario. The property included a large vineyard that was planted in the 1990’s that needed extensive work to restore, it was the perfect canvas to build the winery.
