MAIN Wines North America Canada Newfoundland & Prince Edward Island

Although some quality classic grape wine can be found, Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island wineries specialize in fruit wines. Rhubarb, blueberry, partridgeberry, strawberry, plum and other fruits are the basis of the wine industry on in Canada's pristine islands hugging the East Coast.

If your idea of berry wines is overpowering sweetness, you'll be very surprised by the fruit and berry wines grown and produced in this northern area.

A favorite, worth a trip to the Rock to sample, is Barren's Blend Wine from the Rodrigues Winery — the Bronze Medal Award Winner from the first annual Fruit Wines of Canada Competition in 2000.
