we found the the atmosphere to be very family oriented, friendly service, excellent quality wines and foods. It is well worth the effort to visit Sanson Estate Winery, We purchased 5 bottles of wine and assorted meat products all of which proved to be of the best quality and well worth the investment. We will endeavor to make another trip from Toronto to visit and purchase.

We almost felt guilty as it was only just over $3 to get in. The staff are so pleased to teach you all about the history of this fort and how life was back in the 1800's Everyone is in costume and living as they would have back then. Great place to visit.

Our day started with our journey to the Windsor area from the Brant Area which took about 2.5 hrs west on 401 west. The drive this way is a little boring and we were glad to finally arrive in Amherstburg which seems to be a quaint little town that sits on the mouth of the Detroit river where it opens up to lake Ontario! We arrived and parked our car in the designated parking spot and went in. We payed $18 for two adults and two kids..Our kids were free due to being both under 6. We chose the guided tour which was great and informative and vistited to church first which was great. It was a special moment for my wife and the stories and history that was presented to us was impactful to say the least. After that, we went to the common house which depicted a home that the slaves and decendents lived in till the the 1980's. After this we went to see the art upstairs which we also loved. The guide offered to put the video on for us upstairs but we declined. lots to read, interesting place, amazing stories and great part of canadian history that doesnt get talked about enough. a great little museum. Worth our drive!
