The province is spending 2.25 million dollars to help boost sales of Ontario's world-class Vintners Quality Alliance wines and expand tourism in its wine regions.

The 2016 Wine Country Ontario Travel Guide features about 200 wineries in Prince Edward County, Lake Erie's North Shore, the Niagara Peninsula and emerging wine producing regions.

It also showcases Ontario's four signature wine varieties -- Chardonnay, Riesling, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Franc.

The province says it will be undertaking a re-design of the V-Q-A Support Program that will encourage wineries to scale-up, create jobs and grow the wine sector.
