Manager of Operations

Michael Peddlesden has been conducting viticultural research since 1995, including the initial viticultural study of Prince Edward County’s climate and soil as it relates to specific grape varietals.

Combined with years of hands on experience, Michael has extensive knowledge in the areas of grapevine pruning and trellising, identification of grapevine diseases, rootstocks and cultivars and grapevine protection.

Michael worked with a prominent professor from Brock University to research and produce a climatic study, comparing weather patterns of Prince Edward County with those of the Niagara Peninsula. The results of his study showed very similar climatic conditions, indicating that Prince Edward County would produce similar wines to those found in the Niagara region.
