A lovely drive to this spacious and well organised orchard…read more Pros: - many apple varieties, big juicy sweet apples. - more honey crisp (my favourite) rows than most gta apple farms. - picking types posted online, paper slip given on arrival to know where to pick - rows of apples well marked for type or not ready yet - 4 complimentary sample flight range from alcoholic to non - cute baked goods & jarred shop of treats - 2 flushing washroom , 2 outdoor potty with washing sink - small kids play area - small area to enjoy your treats. - plenty parking in field(drive directly in & park right side of picking row or open field) - most except one staff all very friendly and easy going Cons: One grumpy female senior that works there mans the orchard exit. 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.

I'm not the target audience for wineries in two days. One, I prefer the brewery atmosphere, the…read moremore average person and openness to conversation, to the sometimes-fancy atmosphere of wineries. And two, I was exploring Niagara-on-the-Lake by bicycle. I'd heard that you could have quite a successful winery tour by bicycle in the Niagara region, but it's hard to be both well-dressed and traveling by bicycle. But my landlord (a Canadian) had said I had to try the ice wine in the Niagara region, and I had a recommendation from a Niagara Falls native for Peller and Two Sisters, which were just off my route and next door to each other. I went to Two Sisters first, but immediately felt out of place, not dressed for the event. At Peller? At least for the tasting area, being in everyday attire is okay. The service was good, and the setup was essentially bar style, which lead to conversation with a couple who were on their way back to Devonshire (England) from the Buffalo area. A pleasant experience. And the ice wine was quite good; I am a convert. The Cabernet Franc was my favorite, but I certainly wouldn't say no to the Vidal either. I tried one non-ice wine as well, which was less memorable. Had I not been traveling by bicycle, I would have been very tempted to buy some ice wine to go, and I even considered going back on the last day of my trip to buy some before crossing the Peace Bridge. Now, my landlord is of the opinion that Two Sisters makes far superior wine, and he is much more of a wine person than I am, so he may be right. But if you are traveling through the area and looking to try some ice wine as an adjutant to your trip rather than the focus of it? Peller is a good option.

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.

I think I would check out other vineyards first.

What an unforgettable Wine Tasting Experience at Downtown Winery…read more I recently had the pleasure of visiting Downtown Winery with a group of friends (celebrating the end of a work semester) and goshhh I am still reeling from the incredible experience. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for a fantastic evening. Our wine tasting experience was led by the knowledgeable and charming sommelier, who expertly guided us through the wine selection. We opted for the charcuterie board, which was beautifully presented and offered a delightful experience flavors and textures to pair with our wines. The Wine Wheel was a fascinating tool that helped us navigate the complex world of wine colors and flavors (not going lie...I could barely get it after the 3rd wine tasting lol). It was amazing to see how the different hues and shades correlated with the wine's characteristics! Something new that I learned. But what truly made our experience stand out was the exceptional service. Our sommelier was attentive, enthusiastic, very funny, and happy to answer all our questions. It is a family business, the one of the owners came by, shared their story and seemed passionate about sharing their knowledge and love for wine. If you are a wine enthusiast or just looking for a unique and enjoyable experience, Downtown Winery is an absolute go to place to visit. And be sure to book a tasting and ask for the charcuterie board - you would definitely not regret it.

After a couple seconds worth of deliberations, we decided to pop in and have a quick drink. I'm really glad we did because Downtown Winery is awesome. We weren't too hungry and obviously we had to get some wine, so I decided to try one of their wine flights. I went with the Ménage a trois ("a white wine tags along on a red wine date. pinot gris * pinotage * meritage"), and the wine was brought to the table a few minutes later. I would definitely consider myself a casual wine drinker; I can distinguish good wine from bad, but that's about the extent of it. The three wines presented all seemed very much above average, and they complemented each other beautifully. (I liked the presence of complimentary corn nuts on the table, too. It's always nice to have something to snack on while drinking.) I could definitely see myself returning to Downtown Winery for a more involved experience. It's a really cool little place.

You have the opportunity to go to the restaurant, the hockey rink, tour of the estate, wine tasting classes, and also the cocktail making class. I chose the cocktail making class, and I was highly pleased with the 45min session. The presentation was fun and informative. I like the fact the majority of the ingredients used to make the 3 cocktails are sourced at the Winery/Distillery itself. The cocktails do change every 6 months, so what you may see on their Yelp page maybe different than what you may make. After the class you receive the recipes for the 3 drinks as well as a coupon to be used towards your purchases at their store.

Not sure how much we're able to bring across the border, but even if we have to pay taxes I'm fine with that! It was worth it. Would live to come back in the summer.
