The woman working there was so kind and even gave us chicken feed and let us go out back to feed them. My kids absolutely thought it was the best thing ever!

Just off King Road in Beamsville is an amazing little farm that has some of the best meat I have…read moreevery tasted. We discovered this gem while out wine tasting and now we cant drive by without stopping to stock up. When you arrive you are greeted with a cute little farm with animals all out and about. Its is just a great spot on the Bench and as with most places in the area just looks amazing and has rustic. They have a small shop where you go in to get your goods. They sell all kinds of meat and produce as well as lots of crafty items and whatnot. The star of little foot though is their meats. We cant get enough of them, specifically their breakfast sausages. They have all kinds of selection; chicken, turkey, beef, pork, lamb, venison, ect. and it all great, locally sourced and organic. They are all vacuum sealed and ready to go in their fridges so you just grab all the meat you can carry and you are good to go. All the meat tastes great and is of the highest quality. If you are in Beamsville you should definitely check out Littlefoot Farms for some of the best meat you will ever have.

It was the perfect atmosphere to enjoy some wine and great food. My wife ordered a glass of Pinot Grigio and a glass of Riesling, while I went with Fielding's cherry cider, all refreshing choices! For lunch, she had the summer melon salad with prosciutto, which was light and flavorful, and I ordered the Good Earth burger, which was cooked perfectly and really hit the spot. The vineyard itself has a beautiful layout with both indoor and outdoor seating, plenty of parking, and lots of great spots for photos. Overall, it was a wonderful experience with delicious food, great drinks, and a laid-back setting. We'll definitely be coming back.

Cherry picking season has started and it's a good opportunity to go to cherry orchards and enjoy…read moresome time with your family, especially little ones. We arrived here early in the morning and the parking lot was half full and we bought our baskets (they only accept debit or cash) and went inside the orchard. There were many cherry trees that were perfect height for kids and adults, with different sizes of cherries on them. We spent almost 2 hours and since we were planning to pick both sweet cherries and sour cherries, we went to one of the staff and she redirected us to another orchard of theirs to pick the sour cherries. It was around 9:30-10 when we went to the other orchard and all the parking lots were full and there was a huge lineup for cars in both orchards to get in and big lineups to buy baskets and get inside the orchard. So, I suggest going in early in the morning. They have less sour cherry trees available and you need to spot them between sweet cherry trees and they're as delicious as the sweet cherries. They have very friendly and helpful staff that adds to the fun of picking your own cherries.

We've been coming to Cherry Avenue Farms since we were young. It would be a fun cousins day out and…read moreour families would just load up on delicious fresh cherries! It's so much fun and despite the large crowds, you're not really too crowded once you get into the cherry trees section. This farm has been up and running for over 220 years and it's amazing to see the family continues to do well and offer a place for Pick Your Own on a variety of fresh produce. I think it was $5 admission for adults and that amount will be deduced from your fruit basket if you pick anything. Typically, we pick a whole giant ton of cherries to gift to friends (and of course eat for ourselves). Staff here are great and everything is made easily accessible. If I had one little advise, it would be to offer more step stools and maybe guide on how to use. There were only 5 step stools in a very very large space and this one family hogged them all to just sit on. All the good cherries were up top and way out of reach, unless we did some climbing. I loved PYO farms as a kid and bring friends / plan family summer outings to these types of farms. It's just so nice to be outside away from technology and traffic. Love it here! The fruits are delish by the way.

They had great looking fruits and a few veges. The qualities were too large for us since we can't bring them back over the border easily. Had the choices been smaller we would have picked up some apples.

Beautiful and quiet place to enjoy…read more We visited during Canada Day long weekend, the lavender was just starting to bloom. It was beautiful. This is not a huge lavender farm, but it's definitely the nicest one. It was quiet despite being a long weekend. The owner family were extremely nice. Explained what they have to offer in their farm. We went in, watched a little presentation on the screen, the owner's daughter explained to us how they produce their essential oil. The owner took time to explain to us the work involved in taking care of the farm and answered all of our questions. Wonderful people! We have been to other lavender farm like the big one in Campbellville (Milton) which was a nightmare. But this one definitely worth a visit. Even though it is not a huge place, we did spent an hour walking around, taking pictures and we bought some of their products.

With a combination of 35 year old vines, low prices, and some of the best terroir in the region, visiting this winery is a must for any wine enthusiast. On the weekends, 12 to 5 pm, you can drive right up the dirt path where you'll likely first be greeted by the family border collie, Blackie. Step into his "tasting room" and he'll pour you a free taste of any of his award-winning from his own kitchen table as you admire the wall of packed with gold medals from years past. Highly recommended. Wines tend to sell out quickly due to low volumes. On a side note: Lenko also has a Chardonngay label (same as the regular Chardonnay), the first gay-friendly wine where $1 goes towards AIDS research.

I saw the big wine bottle on the side of a barn when we parked the car. Tasting room was very small. It was actually in the kitchen of a house. There are office tables in the middle, wines are displayed on the wall. It didn't look like it was well organized. Owner Daniel was the one who helped us with our tasting. There was no one else but us. We tasted a few wines. They were all good. White merlot, white Cabernet, unoaked merlot, reserve Riesling ..etc. The white Cabernet was very interesting. Complex yet elgant. I had to get some bottles. Gewurtztraminer was delicious as well as the 2009 Syrah. Daniel lenko is a 3rd generation grape grower and his vineyard has 53 years old Chardonnay plants from his grandparents which is oldest in the Niagara region. If you are a serious wine lover, you must visit this winery and taste their wines. They also do vineyard tours with an appointment.

I have to give this place another star. Even though my first experience overall wasn't great (as…read moreyou can read in original review) I really like their wine! I had picked up some bottles without tasting them the last time I was there that were on clearance. I figured they would be crap and I could just use them for cooking. Boy was I wrong! I absolutely loved the 2006 Chard. The other bottles were just alright but the Chard was fantastic! I called up to see if they had any left - they did - so I hightailed it down to pick up a case. While I was there I again noted that the property is lovely, the tasting room cozy, and Rebecca very sweet. And decided that they deserve a forth star.

The whole party was there and the were setting up chairs on the lake. It looked like a nice enough venue for a wedding. However, it did not seem like we received great attention in the tasting room. I think that they should closed their tasting room while a wedding party was there, I know that if I was having a wedding I would not like other random people to show up in the middle of it. The wine overall tasted okay, their labels were somewhat tacky, but the theme overall was pretty, and at least they were consistent in sticking with it throughout their collection of wine. The festival tasting also came with a food paring which was a strawberry risotto that was quite overcooked and rather subpar.
