After a successful first year in business, Cassandra Tyers, is adding guided tours to Closson Road Cycles' repertoire this summer.

Shortly after moving to the county, Keith Tyers, started working for Closson Chase Winery. Since that time, Tyers, now Closson Chase's head winemaker, has held practically every position, except general manager and bookkeeper.
In March 2017, the U.K.-based trade magazine Food and Drink named Closson Chase “Wine Producer of the Year — Prince Edward County and Best Canadian Pinot Noir” for its 2014 Closson Chase Churchside Pinot Noir VQA PEC.

Starting June 15, groups can reserve a space for the Under the Canoe series, where more elaborate lunch or dinner menus are served.
Just two kilometres from Closson Chase Winery, owners Bruno Francois and Jens Korberg, are ready with beautifully appointed barn doors open at The Old Third Vineyard.

A trip to the lavender fields in New Zealand and France inspired Rolande Leblanc and Derek Ryles, to start growing lavender in Prince Edward County in 2005.
Beautiful, fragrant lavender.
