Living in Wine Country - Introducing Kingsville, ON

It is the Southernmost point of Canada, a landmark for the country that is affectionately known as “Canada’s Paradise Garden.” 
The town of Kingsville is expanding - it's one of the warmest destinations in the country and a place for families and new businesses to grow and experience the county, while still being close to the city.

Found along the shores of Lake Erie, Kingsville features many beaches for lounging and creating family moments, as well as ferries to carry you to Pelee Island. You can also rent a bike (at The Grove Bike Co.) to help get you from place to place to experience the best part of Kingsville in style. 

Fresh Food Markets
For those who show an interest in supporting organic/mom-and-pop small grocers, you will find many home-grown opportunities where you can pick up produce, freshly baked goods, and locally owned and mixed spices for your kitchen. 
Lee and Maria's is a 15-acre fruit and vegetable farm that grows everything from peaches to the well-known Leamington tomatoes. All fresh and affordable.
Willow Tree Market is well-known for its presentation of goods, and for creating a unique experience for shoppers. The produce is locally grown, and the staff are very personable. 
You will find so many more pop-up food stands outside people's homes for everyone to enjoy.

Wine Country and Breweries
