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!

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.

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 fork was sticky and had fingerprints. I had to ask the waitress to change it to a clean one. I should have taken that as a sign. Next, the menu had suggested wine pairings, so when we ordered the pasta, I went with the suggested Chardonnay. To my surprise, the waitress said they don't have one. I was going to ask why bother including the suggested pairing when it's not available, but I didn't bother. I ordered a bottle of white wine, and the server just placed it on the table and didn't even bother pouring a glass. No tasting, just left the bottle on the table, as if saying you're on your own! So we ordered the antipasto platter, the cured meats looked like the packaged cold cuts from a grocery store and the cheese didn't even include any soft cheese. Instead of crackers they served churros like bread sticks which tasted like oily sugarless donuts. We also ordered the pasta with artichokes- it was bland. Thank goodness for the Parmesan cheese that was brought to our table by mistake. The pizza was the only saving grace. It wasn't worth it, the red plastic chairs gave a cheap vibe on an otherwise classy ambiance. The servers were mostly young people who seemed clueless and were just there for a summer job. This is one of those places I'd add to my WR (won't return) list

From the owner: Craft wine making at a fraction of retail! At the Cottage…read moreWinery we use the same varietal juices and processes as the commercial wineries. The biggest difference is that you can produce it at a fraction of the retail price and with a minimal amount of time investment. ​You just need to be present to start the wine, which takes about 10 minutes, and then return in four to six weeks when it's ready to be bottled, which takes only 30 minutes with our automatic filling system. This includes corking, labeling and topping with a shrink cap to make a quality presentation. The Cottage Winery does the rest: fermenting, racking, clearing and filtering your wine to ensure you get the enjoyment and pride of serving a unique and quality wine. Our wines have been awarded a total of 60 medals in the Winemaker Magazine International Competition. The largest amateur wine making competition in the world.

She left the worst note to our trip. We declared and opened the trunk to show one bag of apples were picked $45 pre paid at entrance. She demanded she organise the bag as it spilled in trunk in our laundry basket and claimed we had 2-3 more apples over the limit. I asked calmly if she wanted to take them out, and she snarked she'll let us have them. To be clear, our bag wasn't even close to brimming like most others. She also pulled this to the cars in front of us. Our friends being there a week previously said another staff was much nicer but they've encountered this old timer and got the same treatment Despite the crusty senior, this place is worth the drive to. No fighting crowds for tractor rides to the picking fields, or searching for a variety that's over picked. Prices are per car/bag $45 for 20 lbs of apples, another bag is $45 that is prepaid at entrance. Entrance off the single lane dirt road is a bit sudden, no warning signs the orchard is coming.
