Location

Centrally located in the heart of Essex County, our community stretches from the “hub” of the county at Essex Centre, through prime agricultural land, all the way to the shores of Lake Erie at Colchester. 

We’re home to the most wineries of any community in our region, and our agricultural roots run deep. From farm to table, visitors can look forward to fresh local food to pair with our outstanding wines. Not only do we boast an amazing agricultural heritage, we’re also home to some of the oldest European settlements in the country. Our history is deep and diverse, and it’s ready to be explored.

Access is of major importance when considering investment in any business location. The Town of Essex is only 15 minutes from Highway 401, which provides access to markets in Ontario, and the Ambassador Bridge, North America’s busiest international border crossing.
