I've wanted to go there for years, but never made it. What a shame I didn't go! It's a lovely place - big and inviting, with a lovely outdoor seating area (not today though, with the damp rain and cold). They have an inside area available for wine tastings for weddings. However, there were no tastings planned today, and now that they're closing, likely never again. No bottles are open now that they're closing. To celebrate their closing, Jabulani is offering what is left of their various wines at a discount. This is what enticed us today. I look forward to enjoying the wines we chose, and we wish the owners good luck in their retirement from Jabulani. Also good luck to the new owners, when they take over.

Such a nice place! The vineyard is about half an hour drive from Ottawa. It is owned by a man from…read moreSouth Africa and his wife. They are so nice! Upon arriving, they will give you a menu of their wines. You can select six to try for free. If you want food, you have to buy a bottle (they said it has to do with laws regarding serving food since they are not a restaurant). My favorites were the Frontenac Blanc, the MCM (a red wine on the lighter and fruitier side), and the Rose. This would be a great place to hold an event such as a wedding, but you would need to reserve a year ahead of time. They said they are already booked up for all of 2018!

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 live in Kanata and highly recommend this place for wine…read more They have such a variety it should appeal to almost anyones tastes. For example here are my experiences: 1) I regularily purchase boxs of their table wine. It is so much easier then bottling and the box can sit on the kitchen counter for up to 6 weeks. The taste of their table wine is better then I have had from a number of Italian winery shops across the city. 2) I have purchased a batch of their 9 month wine that sat in oak casks. As good as expensive LCBO wine at less than half the price. 3) we used their wine for my daughters wedding. It was very very acceptable and much less costly. Just paid corking fees to the venue. Also was able to provide as giveaways at the wedding a 375ml bottle with special labels to remember the occaision. A unique idea for us. My point is give them a try and go in with what you really want from a wine shop and likely they will satisfy your needs.

Pretty gardens and walking paths make it a very nice location for a meal or special occasion. Games provided should you stop by the tasting room to have a drink and relax. Dinner is served by reservation only Friday-Sunday. We arrived a bit early but were seated right away. Our server Matt was attentive and took care to make sure we got what we needed. They are a wedding venue and the menu is limited to 4 main course selections (chicken, beef, salmon or vegetarian). We had some appetizers, the chicken, salmon and short ribs. All were cooked nicely and the portions were large. We all wanted more seasoning, the food was bland and unimaginative despite the menu descriptions that suggested otherwise. We went expecting a fine dining experience and the flavors simply weren't there. I'd be remiss not to mention the wine. The Pinot Noir was young but decent for an east coast red. They offer a decent selection of red and white wines and also serve wine slushes that seemed to be quite popular. All in all it was a pleasant experience.

Made three different wines here: A fabulous Sparkling Apricot & Peach, a delicious Blood Orange Island Mist Sangria, and a Limited Edition White. All of them were right on point. 2 of these choices were based on talking with Jason and telling him what we are looking for, and he hit the profile bang on. The place is super cute, clean, and organized. Jason, the owner, and his staff are top-notch in knowledge, serviceability, and connection. Thanks Guys, we will surely see you again!!

I had one guest who will be making it for her wedding! I had LCBO wine beside it and they went for the Wine station Prosecco (Champagnade) every time. Plus popping those corks made it feel special!

Overall it was a nice place…read more Around 1 and a half hour away from MTL. The girl at the front was really nice. She told us abitt about the different wines but other then that she didn't give us much more information. We decided to go with the wine sampler option because unfortunately there wasn't any other option available like a vineyard tour. They didn't seem to have food that we could have maybe paired with our wine sampler or maybe they did but we weren't informed, so I suggest that if you haven't bought the packages available on the website in advance to eat before going there. The vineyard is pretty big. They had alot of seating areas all over and they also had an upstairs patio. They have 8 different wines when you can sample from, my favorite was the swenson white. If you wanted to purchase a bottle, it ranged between 20$ to 25$

However as we turned into the parking lot, it was full. There were some people at the tasting bar, but many sipping wine slushies under the gazebo out back. A tasting is 8$ for five samples. That's a little steep compared to other wineries around. As for their wines, taste is subjective, and everyone likes something different. My suggestion is give yourself time to kick back and have a slushie and relax here in the woods.
