Founded in 1866 on Pelee Island, the southernmost point of Canada, Vin Villa is one of the most historically significant viticultural sites in North America.

Vin Villa’s significance derives from being:

* Canada's First Commercial Winery

* The Birthplace of Champagne in North America

* The First Wine From North America to Win World-Wide Recognition

 

The prestigious Bronze Medallion was awarded to a Vin Villa wine at the 1878 Worlds Fair in Paris France, effectively recognizing wines from North America at the worldwide level for the very first time.
