The tasting room attendant was cheerful and friendly, telling us about each of the wines and sharing some of her favourites. I had six samples in total: the 2013 Windward White Blend (which would be great with spicy food), the 2014 Pinot Gris, the "Friend's Rose" (which is the one I bought - it was bright pink, with lots of berry and some rhubarb, a definite afternoon sipper), the 2013 St. Laurent, the 2013 Gamay Noir and the 2012 Meritage. Tastings were, I believe, $1/sample but they were waived with purchase. This is an environmentally friendly, solar powered winery with a sustainable mindset! It's not as fancy as some of the ones you'll visit in the county, but I think it just adds to the charm.

They have a variety of different wine and the wine tasting cost gets deducted if you purchase a bottle which I think was such a great deal! We sat outside and enjoyed the weather. Unfortunately there wasn't a tour happening the day we went so we didn't get a chance to do that. There are lots of picturesque photo ops throughout the winery. Service was good while we were there and I would recommend visiting this winery over the others in the area mainly because there's such a great variety here.

It's a really lovely space as it uses what may be an old barn (but refurbished) and there's a very large event space upstairs, and downstairs is where you'll meet customer service and the wine selection. They have a great outdoor seating area and a really nice outdoor space with a mini creek running through it. I'm not sure if they specialize in Gamays or not, but they have a few. My wife really enjoys the Chardonnay - specifically the one aged in the steel barrel. Naturally you'd probably do a tasting before purchasing here, but regardless I'd recommend it as you can get quite different tastes even from the same type of wine depending on the vintage, barrel and other factors. They have a few sweets you can pick up and they also have a stone wood-fired oven for pizza. Lovely spot all around with some great wine - and pizza, makes this a can't-miss stop on any PEC wine tour.

She answered all of our questions in detail about each of the wines. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting with her. We then stopped by the restaurant and ordered oysters, paired with a glass of Norman Hardie white wine. The oysters are imported 3 days a week from PEI. The oysters were medium sized and tasted very fresh. The restaurant had plenty of outside seating (and is dog friendly!), with a rustic feel to it. The winery itself was beautiful. We loved our time at Norman Hardie and would definitely recommend it!

Pretty gardens and walking paths make it a very nice location for a meal or special occasion. Games provided should you stop by the tasting room to have a drink and relax. Dinner is served by reservation only Friday-Sunday. We arrived a bit early but were seated right away. Our server Matt was attentive and took care to make sure we got what we needed. They are a wedding venue and the menu is limited to 4 main course selections (chicken, beef, salmon or vegetarian). We had some appetizers, the chicken, salmon and short ribs. All were cooked nicely and the portions were large. We all wanted more seasoning, the food was bland and unimaginative despite the menu descriptions that suggested otherwise. We went expecting a fine dining experience and the flavors simply weren't there. I'd be remiss not to mention the wine. The Pinot Noir was young but decent for an east coast red. They offer a decent selection of red and white wines and also serve wine slushes that seemed to be quite popular. All in all it was a pleasant experience.
