We had an amazing full day tour with Chris who is a charming and knowledgable host. Having run a business in the county he has an understanding of the various wineries and attractions that you will struggle to find with the larger tour companies.
He was greeted as an old friend in all of the places we visited and our reception and service was suitably enhanced.
Learnt so much about a place I had never heard of before I stuck a pin in the map to break up the journey from Niagara to Montreal. What wonderful serendipity to have chosen to visit such a lovely area with a top class guide.
Thank you Chris for a wonderful day. Cone and see us in Wales if you get the chance.

My husband and I were here over the August long weekend. We did a tasting and decided to stay for lunch when we say the authentic Napoli style pizzas coming out. They only have 3 wines, but they are quality wines. The young lady doing our tasting didn't really know too much about wine or how it was made, would of been nicer to have someone more experienced and knowledgeable about their products. The owner of the winery came out and said hello and made sure the pizza was to our liking. It was absolutely delicious! Be ready to spend $20 + on pizza and $40 + on the bottles of wine they have to offer - but they are, in my opinion, worth it.

Our business is now closed for the season until Spring 2018. The last day of the season will be October 31st with a chance of weekends in November. We grow apples and produce hard cider. Our retail store is housed in a renovated barn circa 1860. You can get a tutored tasting of our ciders for $2/person and take a self-guided tour of the farm. Our retail store sells local products, as well as t-shirts, glassware and other gift items and lots of cider! We have a beautiful outdoor patio overlooking Prince Edward Bay where you can get a light lunch and a pint of cider and enjoy the view. Dogs are welcome on leash.

A must-see vineyard - not only is is gorgeous, the tasting experience is exceptional. Wayne not only knows his wine well, you can't not walk away without buying. Their unique wine pairings bring out the best in the wines. The Wicked White is a must buy!!! (And I'm a wine snob) and you can buy a glass of wine, go sit in one of the many beautiful spots and enjoy a picnic.

This winery is one of the select few which uses 100% local Prince Edward County grapes to make all their wines. This attention to their grapes means top notch pinot noir, pinot gris and chardonnay along with an authentic local wine experience. A must visit in the County for wine lovers.

I really wanted to like this family owned winery and was moments away from purchasing a bottle when the husband said to me "Let's put you through the cash so we can get you out of the way", to which I responded "Get me out of the way? Nice." The owner replied rudely "You know what I mean". I gestured the bottle away with my hand and said "No. I don't think so" as I walked away. I returned to tell his wife who had originally served me "I was going to buy that bottle but your husband told me he'd cash me through to get me out of the way...so that's unfortunate." She apologized but he was overheard yelling out "Buh-bye!". Disappointing. A simple apology on his part would have fixed the whole thing. Exultet is also the most expensive winery we visited and you can expect a defensive answer if you comment about their high prices. My husband and our two Moms didn't like the overall feel of this place even before the incident. It certainly didn't feel very warm. I've read other reviews and perhaps this was just an off day but I sadly do not recommend this vineyard and hope hubby can improve on his customer service skills.
