“With the same latitude as Northern California, Essex is one of the most productive counties in Canada for agriculture production. The products from this area include fruit, vegetables and world class grapes. Essex locally supplies consumers as well as many foreign markets world wide. Wineries which host wine tours through Colchester and Harrow also attract tourists with their sandy beaches and sunny climates. Known as the “Sun Parlour of Canada” or the “Garden Gateway to Canada” Essex County lives up to these titles.
