Definitely worth a stop if you're on the wine-o tour but this one is maybe only worth doing a…read moreflight. 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.

My boss and his partner spent a night here on the weekend, they are not on yelp but wanted to let…read moreeveryone know.He gave the following review: The room was beautiful with post and beam architecture, and the service was excellent. They had a detailed Covid plan in place. The breakfast was delicious. Highly recommend. Will go back.

Al is a remarkable man, one of those rare individuals who has many talents and he uses them in the management and running of this inn. He has made furniture that you will see in it and he has designed and built much of the inn itself. He is a chef and cooks the breakfasts for the guests. He is a wealth of information to help you enjoy the area. We highly recommend staying at the Olde Lantern Inn. The area where the inn is located is great to explore too. Wolfville nearby is home to a university so there is a very youthful and energetic feeling about the area. Grand Pre is of historic value being the historic site connected with the Acadian saga. We hiked to Cape Split on our last trip here, which is a 5 mile trip to a point overlooking the ocean where you can hear the tide as it roars in. Be prepared for the 5 mile return trip though and bring plenty of drinking water with you. Olde Lantern Inn sits next door to a vineyard and a great restaurant also so you will be treated very well by Al and those who work together to make your stay a delight.

A truly beautiful spot that can boast being the only winery in the area with stunning views of the…read morevineyard. 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.

So on your next visit to the South Shore of Nova Scotia stop in at the Pettite Rivier winery. They…read morehave done a great job of using the local terroir. The grapes are all from the local area vineyards. Pretty nice product for a young wine making region. Also they make some very nice ciders, both dry, sweet and fruit added styles. So on your next visit, stop in, and on weekends they have a local food cart using local beef, pork and have vegan offering too! The food is great also! Enjoy your visit!
