The grounds are beautiful, great place for a winery, to take pictures and host an event. Parking is limited, but it works.

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!

Highly recommended for wine lovers or anyone looking to buy wine for a large occasion.

We had a beautiful time at this winery in Stouffville!…read more Such a random location but a real gem. The winery grounds are beautiful, there's an amazing patio wrapped around the building with stunning views of the winery. You truly feel like you're in wine country or even in the Italian countryside when you're here. We wanted to do a tasting and we were told to go find a seat outside and someone would be assisting us. We noticed that there was a separate area for people who pre-reserved lunch. I think it's a pre-set menu and it's catered by the McEwan company. The food coming out looked really tasty! We asked if they had a food menu as we were looking for a charcuterie board or something to snack on while tasting the wine, however they do not have a food menu unless you reserve in advance. Although this was a bit of a bummer, the server told us she would bring us some snacks for the wine tasting. As the lunch seating was taking place, the servers were quite busy however our server apologized for the wait and was really nice. We each had the 4 wine tasting flights and were able to choose 4 wines from their extensive list. I tried their sparkling wine, rose, a red and a white and they were pleasant but not the most amazing wines I've ever had. I liked the flavour profile of the rose and the sparkling was really light and crisp. The white and red were just OK for me. The server was knowledgeable and helped to offer suggestions based on my preferences. As promised, she also brought us some bowls with chips, nuts and dried fruit, and tarali. These were great for munching on as well as palate cleansers between the wines. I particularly enjoyed the ambiance of this winery. On a beautiful breezy summer day, it was absolute heaven sitting out on the patio and sampling some tasty wines. I would love to come for a meal one day however they only serve lunch at this time. We even had the owner come over and chat with us for a while to make sure we were enjoying our time. The wines in the retail portion of the winery are super reasonable, I don't think any wines were over $20. This is a nice way to support local business without breaking the bank. Overall this is a wonderful way to spend an hour or so. The flight of wine was only $10 and the wines are also inexpensive to purchase so this makes for an affordable afternoon out. I loved the views and European feel of the winery; it truly made me feel like I was far away without having to step on a plane!

The tasting fee is waived when you buy a bottle which is nice. You'll definitely get something a little different here - perfect for a gift or just for yourself. There is plenty of parking in front and the grounds/views are so nice. We just went for the tastings and didn't order any food so I can't comment on that - but i'm definitely curious to try their menu next summer. They have seating outside so you can have your meal overlooking the vineyards. Nice way to spend lunch :)

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.

I got gifted wine glasses from my husband from here, they are pink ombre and just beautiful.

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

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.

After that we headed back to the winery part of this farm and sampled some fruit wine as well as some conventional wines. Well worth the outing!

An awful place that has no concept of hygiene…read more My wife and I visit and are interested in the fruit wines on display and cheeses in the fridge. To our disgust there was mould, and not the blue cheese desirable type of mould inside many packages of cheese and in numerous spots in the fridge. But the real coup-de-grâce was the dead bug that was sealed in the block of cheese. That's right. It was sealed, by the packaging machine inside the plastic wrap. When we pointed this out to the member of staff there she informed us that that was common and was typical of the packaging machine they use. Having experienced such a disgusting disregard to cleanliness we dreaded to think what could or would be in the wines, so declined to taste any. We have vowed to never visit or purchase anything from Ocala ever.
