They have a full service bistro area! We got the charcuterie board (delicious)! You can get full glasses and bottles in the bistro. The tasting room offers flights that you can taste at the bar or you can take it to the outdoor tables and enjoy the view! Stunning place, great service, wonderful and relaxing time!

My husband and I did the Annapolis Valley Wine and Cheese tour as a shore excursion with a…read moreNorwegian cruise. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience! The wine itself was fabulous but what made it even more enjoyable was our guide, Colleen. She was extremely knowledgeable about the area (Halifax, Gaspereau Valley, and Annapolis Valley) and the wineries. She went above and beyond to make sure that we all enjoyed ourselves, including stopping at an overlook for some quick pics and a farmer's market for some extra snacks. I would highly recommend this tour and would do it again if ever returning to the area.

This was a great wine tour, 10/10 would recommend. My partner and I took my parents, and the four…read moreof us had a blast. Martin was fantastic - great driver, lots of fun facts, very personable. None of us had been to Planters Ridge, and I think it may have had our favorite wine discoveries of the three stops.

While the location is beautiful and the staff were wonderful, this isn't our favourite winery in the province. We did a tasting which was awkwardly presented in shot glasses which we found quite tacky. Nothing in the tasting really stood out and we didn't end up buying a bottle of anything because the tastings are set. You can't really choose off the menu because not everything is available to try. We came for the annual Christmas in Petite, so it was quite busy and many wines weren't available which was a bummer. It would have been nice to select our own options to sample as there is a cost, so not sure we'll make the trip down from the Valley unless it's another annual event. The terrace is really lovely but the furniture could use some updating. Some cute bistro sets would be nice instead of overly bulky chairs and benches that are tough to move. Service was great and friendly so no complaints there. Overall, still worth visiting for location and the scenery, but as wine drinkers, this is pretty low on our list of faves simply because there wasn't much to try that we were interested in.

The grapes are all from the local area vineyards. Pretty nice product for a young wine making region. Also they make some very nice ciders, both dry, sweet and fruit added styles. So on your next visit, stop in, and on weekends they have a local food cart using local beef, pork and have vegan offering too! The food is great also! Enjoy your visit!
