ABOUT COLIO ESTATE WINES
Colio’s story is one of patience, determination, and perseverance – qualities that remain instilled today at the heart of their winemaking practices and spirit. It was along the Lake Erie Shore, the southernmost and warmest wine region of Ontario, where three Italian bricklayers named Alfredo, Enzo and Tiberio decided to fulfill their lifelong dream of building a world-class winery.
Forty years later, consumers continue to enjoy the rewards of the hard work and craftsmanship that go into every bottle that Colio produces. The picturesque winery is located in Harrow in the heart of the Essex / Pelee Island Coast Wine Country. Its wines are available at provincial liquor stores and any of the fourteen Colio Boutiques across the province.
