Love this vineyard. And sitting in the big Adirondack red chairs…read more Most northerly vineyard in Canada? Or Ontario. Something like that. Never enough staff. But friendly. Wine very $$$. But decent. I always leave with at least one bottle after sharing a small flight. My fave is the German one. Don't ask me to spell it. Lol. I'll take a pic of it. Big tent for rainy days on site. Gets an extra point for being dog friendly. Food/kitchen has changed and the menu is more varied. Lots of parking in the lot. I would recommend to anyone and while in Carp there is a lot of other cute places to see there too!

I highly recommend the KIN Vineyards tour for new wine enthusiasts seeking a private experience…read more The insightful tips, diverse tastings, and delightful bites made for a fantastic overall experience. Celebrated my bachelorette here, and everyone couldn't stop praising the tour. The added option to linger, either enjoying the on-site seating or heading to Jos restaurant, coupled with its pet and family-friendly atmosphere, enhanced the visit. Je recommande vivement la visite des vignobles KIN pour les nouveaux amateurs de vin recherchant une expérience privée. Les conseils avisés, les dégustations variées et les délicieuses bouchées ont créé une expérience globalement fantastique. J'ai célébré mon enterrement de vie de jeune fille ici, et tout le monde n'arrêtait pas de faire l'éloge de la visite. L'option supplémentaire de rester un moment, que ce soit en profitant des sièges sur place ou en allant au restaurant Jos, associée à son atmosphère conviviale pour les animaux de compagnie et les familles, a enrichi la visite.

I've eaten here three times now, and maybe it's the oil they use to cook their food or something…read moreelse but every time I've stopped by the observatory for food I've been sick right after. I usually get their chicken strips with fries, and it NEVER sits well with me. Sure, they taste good, but after twenty minutes I'm running to the washroom to toss it back up. A friend of mine has had their wrap and quesadillas and even she agrees that there's just something about the food that doesn't sit right in one's stomach. Overall, it's a really nice restaurant space - the fireplace is a nice, cozy touch. The food, however, leaves a bit to be desired. Prices are decent though, and they accept student meal plan, which is why I'm not giving them 1 star out of five.

The Observatory is run by the Algonquin Students' Association. I've been here once before for an…read moreevent where they had Perez Hilton come in, talk on stage, and sign autographs. A bunch of wooden chairs were set up facing the stage, and Perez gossiped about celebrities for an hour or so, told us how he got to be a famous blogger, answered some questions, signed t-shirts, and dropped as many F-bombs as he possibly could. The bouncers were a little too serious for the nature of the event and the guest of honour. You'd think that they'd lighten up a little considering it was Perez Hilton talking and not a concert or anything, but at least they made sure to keep everything safe and fight-free. Food and alcohol are offered at the Observatory. They are fully licensed and offer Starbucks coffee and a decent selection of sandwiches, salads, pizza, pub-fare, and breakfast, all for affordable prices. For those of you that are Algonquin College students, you can use your meal plan here. They also have couches, TVs, and pool tables if you want to hang out and/or study. It's also available for private rentals when it's not being used for other events. To contact the Observatory directly, here is their information via the website: Paul Norman, The Observatory Manager (613) 727-4723 ext. 5327 or by e-mail at normanp1@algonquincollege.com

Karaoke is the main draw of course, but the room is also set up great for parties with lots of couches and areas to set up for doing presents and games and stuff.

Fluffy pancakes with fresh maple syrup served by the friendliest staff made this an enjoyable visit. The nature trail following around their property was very enjoyable after breakfast and was easily completed within about 30 minutes. We took our maple syrup snow candy (we rolled it ourselves) and shot many pictures of the kids and some wild birds. The machinery used to boil the sap was very cool to see and the choices of maple syrup products to but was impressive. I would love to go back and I really recommend this place for a Saturday morning outing. It was about an hour's drive from Ottawa. Breakfast was about $80 for 4 but I looked at it as an experience, not just breakfast. Worth the money.
