Another delightful winery up in the Valley, just beyond Port Williams. Great views of course, a…read morevery attractive large deck along one side of the winery and a pleasant, bright and airy interior. Some excellent wines, especially the reds (the Quintessence is a good as anything in the province), a unique sparkling mead and a very powerful rummed cider (9.5%), plus several whites and a rose. I had the red flight, wife went for the classic and for eats I chose the beef tip panini, which was truly outstanding. Delightful service, as seems to be the case at all the wineries we've visited. Bought a few bottles to take home and the bill came in at about $150, which isn't bad. Definitely worth the trip up from Halifax.

It looks like this place still needs a little bit of refining but it has some pretty good potential in the next few years. The wine is decent. Their red really is good but their rosé is a little bit more fruity than we like and much darker than expected. Not a huge selection here but a really nice location overlooking the vineyard. I'd personally skip the food as it seems like it's being too fancy for what it is. We got the cheese board and it definitely is trying to be a little more fancy than it is. It comes with 3 cheeses and there are only 3 options so if you don't like blue cheese, let them know when you order so they can give you more of one of the other two. The thing we found odd was the tacky Breton crackers. It would have been nice to have some kind of artisan crackers instead and perhaps some sort of a jam, jelly or spread. We found it to be a little tacky for $16. The service was a little bit in the middle and we waited around a while to even get a menu. Once the server recognized we weren't helped yet, she apologized and picked up from there which made us not want to get up and leave like originally planned. Overall, I think this place is worth a shot but perhaps don't expect to be wowed and maybe grab a meal before you show up. I can see this being a great place to do a flight just to try what they've got or just have a glass of wine on the patio that's being extended (they were working on it while we were there). Lots of parking and just off the road.

We tasted four of the wines and ended up buying a bottle of each. They've got their signature red 2019 and 2020 on sale for $20 so you can't go wrong. If you're looking for something really different, try the Alchemy. The colour alone will surprise you. While it may not be to everyone's liking, it definitely grew on us the more we swirled it around. It would be great with dark chocolate and a chair by the fireplace. Tastings are 3 for $12 but waived if you buy a bottle of each sample. Easy to get to, lots of signage and easy to park. Worth checking out if not just for the unique Alchemy.

We recently stayed at the Olde Lantern Inn as part of a weekend 'stay-cation'. We weren't really…read moresure what to expect, never having stayed at a B&B before but were extremely happy with our experience. The inn has 5 different rooms as well as a welcoming common room, several areas to relax outside, and a breakfast area that accommodates both couples and larger groups. While encouraging guests to interact with elements like the outdoor fire pit, we still found we also had plenty of privacy when we wanted it. We stayed upstairs in the Marchel Foch room which consisted of an extremely comfortable four post bed, a fire place and reading area, a window nook with a gorgeous view of the vineyard and a bathroom equipped with a large Jacuzzi tub. The rooms are a perfect mix of cozy charm (beautiful hand crafted furniture, vaulted wood ceilings) and modern convenience (remote controlled air conditioning, tv and dvd player as well as a selection of movies). Breakfast was served a little earlier than we would maybe have preferred (between 730 and 830) but the food itself was fantastic! I really enjoyed meeting some of the other guests and hearing everyone's travel stories (Al, the owner of the Inn had seemingly countless travel experiences and stories to recount. An incredibly interesting man for sure!) We also took advantage of the close proximity to the Grand Pre winery (literally a few steps through the back vineyard) and went on their wine tour and tasting. Our guide (Katherine) was fantastic giving us lots of information and answering all of our questions while keeping it very light and fun. We were happy to learn that she also works at the Inn and would be the one cooking us breakfast in the morning :) I would definitely recommend the Olde Lantern to anyone looking for a relaxing and personal wine getaway in the valley. I can see how this place would be especially fun for several couples travelling together (something I think we will keep in mind for our next visit).

While the location is beautiful and the staff were wonderful, this isn't our favourite winery in the province. We did a tasting which was awkwardly presented in shot glasses which we found quite tacky. Nothing in the tasting really stood out and we didn't end up buying a bottle of anything because the tastings are set. You can't really choose off the menu because not everything is available to try. We came for the annual Christmas in Petite, so it was quite busy and many wines weren't available which was a bummer. It would have been nice to select our own options to sample as there is a cost, so not sure we'll make the trip down from the Valley unless it's another annual event. The terrace is really lovely but the furniture could use some updating. Some cute bistro sets would be nice instead of overly bulky chairs and benches that are tough to move. Service was great and friendly so no complaints there. Overall, still worth visiting for location and the scenery, but as wine drinkers, this is pretty low on our list of faves simply because there wasn't much to try that we were interested in.
