Lake Erie Wine Grapes

William Semelka Vineyards has been farming wine grape varieties along the shores of Lake Erie for over 40 years.
Today his family vineyard grows over ten wine grape varietals, including Riesling, Pinot Grigio, Chardonnay, Cabernet Franc, Chambourcin, Lemberger, Regent, Baco Noir, Frontenac, and Itasca. Each varietal is farmed for the balance and natural acidity that define cool-climate fruit from the Lake Erie shore, and bulk tonnage is available for the 2026 harvest.
