I came by last weekend and was very happy to have stumbled across this winery. They specialize in…read morefruit wines and also sell ciders. 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.

Ashlie's Books, located downtown on 65 Hastings St. N, is a very nice bookstore for book lovers…read morealike. They have different genres and have updated reads.I went with my mom recently and she purchased the diet book, Wheat Belly and a couple Chicken Soup for the Souls, and I was amazed by the current books they have in stock. The owner is in the know with different books that are trending. They also have used books as well. This is a great book store for the town of Bancroft and they have some pretty good deals. Enjoy going for a coffee and then browsing this book store and taking in some local shopping. Enjoy.

I grabbed some women's sweatpants that were folded up and sealed, since I forgot long warm pants, and of course was sad (but not surprised) to discover that since they are ladies pants, they didn't have pockets (yes - plaid flannel pajama bottoms with no pockets). Their praline fudge is outta this world good, with two layers of vanilla fudge surrounding chewy, thick and nutty caramel. They had a baby bib (ugly) when we needed one in a clutch. Overall cute shop.

It's impossible to leave the store without some Kawartha Dairy ice-cream.

Wow, I'm surprised that Lockside has never been reviewed. They've been there forever and I know…read morethey're popular. I've probably been to Lockside at least a dozen times over the years, but there was a big gap between 2012 and 2018 when I was out of the province. I can honestly say that the place is exactly the same in 2018 as it was in 2012, although I imagine they'd disagree. Lockside is an interesting eclectic store with a wide variety of unique home decor items, furniture, clothing, and gifts. But be warned, it is NOT cheap. That place is on the high-end side when it comes to prices. Even their t-shirts are expensive. Over the years I've mainly browsed at Lockside because their stuff is too expensive to buy. But I have purchased a few small items now and again. The most frequent item I've bought is an ice cream cone! They serve Kawartha Dairy ice cream (the best ever) and they have a lovely outdoor area to sit and savour your ice cream while you watch the boats come and go from the Young's Point lock. The ice cream and location makes up for the fact that they're too expensive for the average person. You walk away thinking, "well, at least I got a good ice cream cone"! :-)
