We got four different type of wine - please make sure you select their ice wine and especially the red ice wine from the list coz that's a rare one and it tastes so good. They have a lot of wines that have won awards in competitions. Moon who was our server explained everything to us in so much detail we were really impressed. We also got the charcuterie board with their wine tasting experience and it was so well done. The ice jelly was sweet and slightly spicy and paired perfectly with the crackers and cheese. Fruits were fresh. You can enjoy sitting in the patio or inside - we chose inside and the interior had a nice rustic charm. Also a great place for a wedding.

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!

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.

The greatest part of this winery is they offer free wine tasting and they are really great with service and creating a welcoming environment. The staff here were great. We were assisted by John. You could tell he really loved sharing information about the wine they have here. If you're up for it, r they even have a wild rice wine that was processed similar to a Japanese sake. I really enjoyed the variety of white and red fruit wines. The ciders were also great. The grape one tastes like grape whelches juice. They also have wood oven pizza, jams, sauces, and other goodies in shop. If you're in the area definitely check them out.

Georgian Hills Winery has started a Friday night Dinner Series!…read moreWe joined them to celebrate my birthday on the Friday launch. The wine and service here are always over the top, and the dinner menu DID NOT disappoint. Our table ordered everything on the menu (6 - 8 items) for 'sharing' and absolutely everything was delicious! And the atmosphere was incredible. Outside, gentle breeze, warm but not hot, quiet and peaceful. A birthday dinner turned into a fantastic and memorable evening!

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!

Oh. My. Goodness. I am RAVING about this place. I went on a mother daughter date with my mum…read more We got the French Onion Soup, and the Classic Fondue. It was the perfect amount of food and it was incredible. I would also recommend the Speak Mimosa I would recommend making a reservation after 7pm, just to be safe. The waitress was friendly, checked in, but didn't linger. I've been to the Melting Pot before - and it does NOT compare. It was priced as expected - it's not a fast food restaurant and it's worth every dollar. (Two soups, the classic fondue, two drinks and tips was just shy of $100). I've attached a poorly taken photo - we were too excited to eat it to get a picture in time.

The Hare family has been making wine for over 100 years starting in Bulgaria. Small batch VQA reds, whites, rose and icewine. Everything we tasted had depth and complexity!

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.

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!

There's a large selection of products and a walk-in refrigerated room loaded with various beers plus chilled wines. I'm here because of an Air Miles rewards promotion on products I pre-loaded to my mobile Air Miles app. I located the specials with the help of a LCBO employee. After walking the aisles looking for other specials, I proceeded to checkout with additional items that I hadn't planned to purchase. Checkout was quick and efficient. I'm also getting 1 extra reward mile for every pre-tax $30 spent. Cheers!
