My friend was excited to visit this farm for the first time to view the sunflowers, even though it…read morewas a bit late in the season. I have to say, it was very far, but once we reached the outer skirts of Mississauga into Milton, I found the drive very peaceful. The farm is on 165 acres of escarpment countryside, and the current admission is $12/per person over the age of 5 years old. There were plenty of parking spots on the grassy areas, and washrooms are available. Inside the main building is a winery and shop that sells homemade goodies, including tarts, pies, jams, drinks, fresh fruits ... but on the pricey side! I personally can't imagine paying $18.50 for a pie made with lard. A bbq lunch is available on weekends. Note that you can't bring outside food onto the grounds. We brought a lunch but ended up tailgating. We missed the berry picking season (sold by weight), but I was pleasantly surprised to see many chickens running around right at my feet! The baby goats were adorable. They also had pigs, ducks, sheep, and other animals. There were plenty of beautiful dahlias ($2 each), but some of the sunflowers were wilting. In hindsight, early August would have been ideal. We came on a cloudy day but still captured some nice photos. We had an enjoyable afternoon.

Opened as part of The Food District, The Wine Shop is owned/associated with Peller Estate. So they…read moreonly carry wines from Peller, Gretzky, Trius, & Thirty Bench. Although they may not have as much selection as the LCBO, the staff KNOWS the product and can give personal recommendations based on what you like! Bonus: There are also ALWAYS samples offered there on select products. They've also set up a Wine Tasting area in the back, so it's $8/flight of 4 X 1oz of wines OR $10/flight including a sample of Ice Wine. I've have yet to try this out, but I will as soon as I find a suitable, wine-lovin' friend! Most of my friends don't drink. :( Staff are always friendly! It's very convenient to have a spot where you can buy wine AT the mall.

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.

With beautiful weather, a lively crowd, and an impressive selection of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, it made for a fantastic afternoon. I was especially impressed by the number of distilleries showcasing products that aren't yet available at the LCBO, making the tasting experience feel unique and giving visitors the chance to discover something new. While there were plenty of standout offerings, my favourite has to be the Honey Gin Fizz from Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery. It's refreshing, well-balanced, and hope it will arrive at a bottleshop in the GTA sometime soon. It would definitely be my go-to summer drink! Food was also available for purchase, and the tacos were the perfect complement to an afternoon of tastings. There was ample seating, with plenty of picnic tables, making it easy to relax and enjoy the food without feeling crowded. Overall, this was a well-organized event and a wonderful celebration of Ontario's craft beverage scene. I'll definitely be back to explore more of what Geary Avenue has to offer, and I look forward to attending Holy Waters again next year.

My pleasant experience at Vintage Vines grew over the course of three events. First the appetizer…read morewas a virtual info session. Next the main course was the shop visit for a sampler & placing our wine order. Finally the dessert culminated when our icewine was ready! While the shop's Lakeshore location is tight from the outside, there's plenty of wine passion inside. Certainly don't sleep on this LCBO alternative. I came this weekend to pickup our holiday icewine batch, which we ordered 8 weeks earlier on the prior visit. You could say we were tempted by the golden nectar! In mythology Bacchus might be credited with viticulture & wine creation, but during the winter freeze is when this specialty wine comes to life. Icewine is pressed from frozen grapes resulting in small drips of this concentrated & uniquely sweet nectar with about 13% alcohol & 200g/L sugar content. Upon opening a bottle, we're quite ecstatic about how our Riesling icewine turned out. True to form, bold notes of honey, peach & sweet citrus were evident within each full body sip. If typical late harvest is 7/10, this is 10/10 on the dessert wine scale. While this isn't your award-winning Niagara icewine, the charming taste of this Winexpert Après batch pleasantly surprised us at its price point. Celina was knowledgeable & friendly, flexibly offering us a half batch as well as providing labels & bottles for our order. The deal was too sweet to pass up for 15 icewine bottles. DIY bottling option is available. Having previously tried our hand at bottling, we opted for the convenience of pickup. Glad the end-product received was literally a vintage vine. Thanks for giving us a Riesling to review!
