A soil survey shows grape production expanding into clay soils above the Lincoln County escarpment. Clay beds run from Hamilton to Niagara-on-the-Lake, underlying sand deposits, with sandier pockets near Grimsby Vineland and Jordan Station.

The full report, Soil Survey of Lincoln County, will be published by the Ontario Soil Survey at Guelph.
