Our Story
COMING IN 2024
A new horizon of heritage and heart.
Located amidst the serene beauty of Elgin County's pastoral landscape, SKYE CHASE Estate Winery is a testament to the unwavering entrepreneurial spirit of its new steward, Kyle MacDonald. The journey that brought us to this moment is a tapestry of ambition, heritage, and a profound connection to both land and the tranquil waters of Lake Erie.
The name "SKYE CHASE Estate Winery" pays homage to Kyle's Scottish roots, tracing her lineage back to the enchanting Isle of Skye. It's a nod to her courageous grandparents, who charted their course from the rugged Scottish terrain to the East Coast of Canada, carving a path of their own. Raised by her visionary grandmother, Annie, Kyle inherited the pioneering spirit that ran deep in her family's descent.
For Kyle, the dream of owning a winery was woven into her destiny. SKYE CHASE is not just a name; it's a reflection of her origin, a reminder of those who influenced her journey, and a beacon of new possibilities. "Chase" represents the relentless pursuit of dreams, opportunities, and the art of crafting fine wines. It's about embracing the future while honoring the past.
What makes the SKYE CHASE experience even more exceptional is the mesmerizing view of Lake Erie that graces the horizon. On a clear day, as you gaze through the tree line, you'll catch a glimpse of the tranquil waters, as the lushness of the vineyard transcends to serenity.
With pride of ownership as Elgin County’s first VQA vineyard, we're on a mission to bring you exquisite wines that embody the spirit of this unique region. Our commitment to excellence drives us as we craft wines that capture the essence of our local culture.
