Prince Edward CountyThe winery is owned by a couple we only know as Bruno and Jen. They started their adventure in 2004. They produce both grape wine and cider. The Old Third Vineyard is located on a steep south-south-east slope in Hillier, Prince Edward County.
The soil, Hillier Clay Loam, overlays a friable Ordovician limestone bed about 450 million years old. Heavy and thin, it is mixed with an abundance of limestone gravel and fossils. The Old Third Vineyard contains an unusually large amount of glacial till in the form of granite, sandstone, quartz, marble dragged down by the last ice age from Northern Ontario.
The Old Third Vineyard takes its name from the original term for the area. The property is situated on Closson Road which bisects the Third Concession, a Crown grant near the end of the 18th Century. However, the road was named Closson only relatively recently. Prior to that it was not officially named so the people who lived here called it The Old Third.
Their pride and joy is the cathedral like barn, built in the 1860‚s, it was completely restored during the winter of 2006. Rotted beams were taken out and new ones put in, collapsed foundations were rebuilt and the exterior siding replaced with traditional hemlock. It currently houses the winery and tasting room.
