The grounds are beautiful, great place for a winery, to take pictures and host an event. Parking is limited, but it works. The main building had the wine stating and they also serve snacks and small bites which is a plus when tasting wines. I can definitely picture coming here to enjoy a tasting and having so small bites. A huge plus is it being pet friendly. I love being able to enjoy this place with my little fluff!

On a cold but wonderfully sunny afternoon, we chose to arrange a wine tour at Magnotta Winery. We…read morewere fortunate enough to be led by the amazingly kind and incredibly knowledgeable Michael Ber, Assistant Manager of Retail and Events. The tour was fantastic for SO many reasons... Upon our arrival we were led to the beautiful and bright Awards room, housing the endless awards won by Magnotta for wine and spirits at events all over the continent and beyond. Michael asked questions to narrow down our likes and dislikes, the preliminary to our wine tasting. More about that later :) Our first stop was an information-filled walk-through of the machinery area where the wines are produced and bottled. From there we continued into the basement's Barrel Room where hundreds and hundreds of barrels of wine are stored. Old winemaking machinery added perfectly to the decor, creating an almost museum-like element. The decor all throughout the winery is old-world Italian style which created an authentic, peaceful mood from one space to the next. Once the tour was over, we were invited back into the Awards Room for the fun part... the wine tasting portion of the tour. It was then that each of us was given our personally curated flights consisting of 3 wines to try, each specific to our indicated preferences. We also opted for the complementing charcuterie board and focaccia bread (at a low additional cost) that truly brought out some of the more complex flavors of the wines being sampled. I would recommend this winery and wine tour for anyone who wants to fine tune their wine preferences and flavor profiles. We were never rushed, all questions were answered, and we left far more educated about the world of wine than we ever could have expected! It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon and a great reason to indulge in some fantastic wine... not like anyone needs a reason for that!!! Pros: - Location (easy-to find industrial area near major highways) + free parking - Staff (professional & friendly) - Ambiance/Decor - Selection of wines - Taste of wines & food - Prices (of wines, tour & food) Cons: - None

We even tried one if their Vidal Ice Wines - oh my - how absolutely delicious! The staff are all friendly and can direct you to some great wines if you ask. They do not sell at the LCBO so the prices are about 40% cheaper than if they did. They have a great variety, including some beers (they have a brewery on deck). Definitely be back as I saw quite a few interesting wines. They even have their own vodka and brandy.

We had the pear, chutney, grilled cheese sandwich, which was freshly prepared and quite delicious. I enjoyed that again with a salad with dressing on the side. I haven't had a grilled cheese in a while, and this was a great lunch option. I would highly recommend stopping by to enjoy the beautiful space, some lawn games, a wine flight, or some lunch.

We had a tasting flight of Sauv Blanc, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Call me a cab. Each wine lacked much complexity and had a watery element. The whites were pleasant on a warm day but didn't seem to have much of the traditional characteristics of a Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio. Call me a Cab has a great name but I couldn't finish the sample. Wife ordered a glass of Pink Bubbles that was the best of the wines tasted. We did buy a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Usually I buy a bottle or two from each vineyard we visit both to support their efforts and to take a second taste while not overlooking vines. Food wise we kept it simple and shared a Canadian Flatbread with mozzarella cheese, crispy bacon, pepperoni, and mushrooms. Hit the spot. Ridge Road Winery is well worth a visit if in the area. This would also be a nice spot to hold a private event.

The L'Acadie (good amount of sweetness, pairs well with spicy food) and their 2019 Chardonnay were my favourites. There's a cozy outdoor space that has firepits and tables with a small food menu. We already had plenty of cheese and had dinner later, so we only tried their soup. Hot soup is extra tasty when you're outside in the cooler weather!

I love everything about Georgian Hills Vineyards…read more Driving up to the tasting room, I had my doubt as it looks like a small shed. But it is nicely decorated with tasting bar area if you want a tasting sampler and an outdoor/indoor area if you want to have a flight or a glass with cheese platter. $5 would get you 5 samples: Dry Cider, White, Red, Rose and Iced wine. I am also impressed with their selections and quality. Dry Cider ($9.95) is so easy drinking and their Iced cider (pear/apples) so delicious. And if you end up buying a bottle, the tasting fee would be waiver. Staff is friendly and welcoming. Worth dropping by for a visit if you are in the Collingwood area.

Great shop for all things wine (and they are sometimes open on holidays when the LCBO is closed!)…read more Staff is super friendly, right when you walk in they greet you and are willing to help. They have beautiful glassware and wine accoutrements, so if you need a gift for someone on your list who loves wine, just stop by here and you're good to go.

The pasta was fresh and cooked perfectly. Not too soft and not too firm. Simple, well balanced, and easily one of the best dishes of the visit. I would absolutely order it again. The charcuterie board stood out for its variety of unique cheeses. Wines were smooth and easy to drink. I also tried a cappuccino from the café menu and it was rich and comforting. They offer outdoor globe dining on weekends, which is a nice option if you're looking for something a bit different. I'd come back again, especially in the summer when the vineyard views are in full swing.

I think I would check out other vineyards first.

They also have a small supermarket in there that serves products that they make out of the apples and other things that they grow on the farm but you can also buy some local goods there as well and you can view the pizzas being made in the stone oven. They offer a group tours twice a day, it's best that you book ahead. I took the tour.. the place is quite small I don't know if I necessarily would do the tour again I don't know if it really did that much enhancement to my experience. But the tour does come with three samples and you get a $5 voucher towards the restaurant if you choose to dine at the restaurant They have different options that you can try, cider flights both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. I chose alcohol and every single cider that I tried including the ones on the tour I absolutely love, they have a lower sugar content than traditional ciders that you buy at the LCBO which gives them a lighter refreshing feel. For their regular flavors I thought the draught cider was the best. And for the seasonal they had a sangria cider that was absolutely refreshing as well I tried the cambert cheese I believe.. it was that came with their gooseberry jelly oh my goodness that jelly was absolutely delicious and they do sell it in the market. I also tried their pizza and I thought the pizza was absolutely delicious I got the large which is a shareable I also noted that the staff seemed genuinely happy from the servers to the hostess to the tour guide.

I came here to make wine for my wedding, and doing so saved me so much money. First of all, I got…read morethe referral coupon that saved me $175 on ~28 bottles of wine. Booking the wine online was super simple - I just checked the website, read the descriptions of all the wine they had available to make, and put my order through. Now because I had been to a different location a while back, I didn't even have to come in in person to drop the yeast - they did it for me! I went with the German Riesling this time to provide a nice white wine for my wedding. The ability to choose sweetness was a great touch of personalization. And then several weeks later, I got the call to come in and bottle my wine. There was enough time for me to call in the help of my bridesmaids, and we made a really fun night out of bottling the wine. Even better was the fact that we got to taste it before the conditioner was added to make it even sweeter. The wine ended up not only way more cost efficient than buying from LCBO, but also it was a huge hit at the wedding! I would highly recommend this experience to any new brides.

It was so easy & fun! - Step one: Choose your favourite wine, & make your appointment online. You'll then go in for your first appointment, where you'll do the "yeast drop". This process takes a couple minutes - you're just adding the yeast to the grape juice. - Step two: About 6-8 weeks later, you'll get a notification that your wine is ready! You'll go back to the store & start the wine bottling process! The first step is to fill each bottle with your wine using their bottling station. - Step three: Using their air-powered corker, you'll cork each bottle! - Step four: Choose a colour of neck sleeve for your wine. Using a heat gun, you'll shrink wrap it to the top of each bottle. - Step five: Apply your labels to each bottle (they're stickers, so it's easy to apply!) - Step six: take home & enjoy!
