    Came to visit this winery because I purchased a coffret prestige which is a value of 100$ and includes a 3 course dinner. A visit of the winery with 3 wine tastings and a bottle of wine to take home. You have to reserve in advance and since it is a renowned place book at least two weeks ahead of time. The choice of Food was good and the service at the restaurant was excellent however the food was very dissapointing. This was to me cafeteria food. The soup tasted very bland. When we asked the waiter what it was they said sweet potato but there was nothing sweet about this soup. We also ordered and extra entree of pasta which the waiter discerned a pasta primavera. To be honest the sauce tasted exactly like the soup. Very bland and the pasta was over cooked and super soggy. I ordered the duck but then changed my mind after seeing somebody else's plate which look burnt to a crisp. I finally took the fish. It was a bassa and it came with grilled veggies and potatoes. The potatoes were good and the sauce the fish was in was very good but the portions were extremely small and the veggies were bland. I also tried my friends chicken which was super dry. The sausage was good but again portions were small. Finally we had desert and My party of 4 tried the sugar pie , the chocolate cake and cheese cake. The sugar pie was just ok. The chocolate cake was so so however it was their cheesecake stole The show. Delicious taste and crust. All in all I would never go back. There are many wineries that are much closer to Montreal that have a much more fun and lively vibe. We did enjoy the wine tasting but they were very scarce with their portions. The best wine was their "Orpailleur Gris"

    We spent an amazing afternoon learning and discovering the secrets to wine making at this beautiful vineyard in Dunham, Quebec. As part of the "route des vins", this vineyard has been producing wine for almost 35 years! We started our tour with a stroll through the vineyard itself, taking a look at the grapes and equipment; the tour followed with an instructional short video and finished with a wine sampling of 4 of their most popular wines. Additional samples are available for 1 to 2$. You also get to keep the tasting glass with their logo at the end of the tour. I found the tour guide very personable and the tour itself was informative and engaging. Their vineyard has a restaurant open seasonally (Tire Bouchon) and gift store on site. A beautiful terrace for a perfect lunch and various seating areas with ponds and lawn chairs, allow you to relax with a glass of wine. The store allows you to leave with bottles of their wines, most available for purchase only on the premises. Gifts and edible goods are also available. I fell in love with their rosé, this award winning wine also available at the SAQ, but mostly with their gray wine which would pair beautifully with almost everything! I would totally return to this spot even if it's just for the view from the overhead terrace overlooking the vineyard.

    I recommend buying bottles of your favourite wine in the boutique, as it is cheaper then at the SAQ.

They do an exceptional job of showing you around the vineyard, answering questions and explaining their methods and grapes. The tasting itself is also wonderful. I found that I really liked several of their wines and their port. The charcuterie and cheese plate was very good; it was accompanied with bread and jellies made from their wines. The wines are reasonably priced. We each took home 6 bottles, saving an additional 6%. With the CA exchange rate, it was an exceptional deal. They do grape squashing in September. I meant to try and come back and volunteer, but ended up too busy. Next year! I'll bring friends back. This place is worth frequenting.

We grabbed some charcuterie, cheese, and 2 flights and made a beeline for a table in the shade. Everything was delicious and we ended up grabbing 2 bottles with us to go (sparkling orange and sparkling red). They didn't have the sparkling orange as a taster but my favorite from the tasting line up had to be the sparkling red, which was delicious and refreshing on a hot summer day. They also offer a 45 minute wine tasting session, which we didn't have time for but looking forward to coming back and exploring this wine trail.

    First time ever trying out a tasting wine event.. I randomly found this place on Instagram and…read moreafter doing some research I figured this place is worth the try! When you go on their website they have different packages from what you can choose from. We ended up doing a private tour with wine tasting & a little snack to taste from the kitchen.. What I love about this location is that it's nearly 2 hours away from our place now I dont know about you but I live for mini roadtrip! And anything that's out of "montreal" is a win for me! Theres just something so great about driving into the ever greens! So ofcourse from the moment we got there it was POURING rain! But that didn't stop the tour! We ended up taking a golf kart to go through the vineyard.. it was so nice because they gave us a cozy blanket to cover ourselves with .. very sweet! The guy who gave us the tour was so sweet and knowledgeable he gave us some really great info and honestly just made me appreciate wine even that more! Once we finished with the vineyards we headed back to a tour of the behind the scenes.. it was really cool to see everything from A to Z .. we then headed to the diner area for our tasting & snacks .. he then offered some more fun knowledge about the wines and we understood it better because of the tour he had just given us. Plus prior to starting this they bring you to a room to a watch a mini 10 minute clip about the wines and preview and that came with a delicious glass of wine. And just before heading out they have this beautiful boutique with all sorts of fun things we got some wine , maple sugar etc.. One thing that really stuck with me was how well maintained the place was. Very very clean and the design and decor of this place just seals it all together. It's a family owned business & we got to meet one of them! Apparently they also have a sugar shack so I'll definitely have to go back there to try it out. Their story behind this phenomenal vineyard is amazing and one of the only ones in Quebec to be producing wines like this.. you'll just have to take the tour to find out more! :) or Google.. your choice

    They improved a lot in the last years! The wine is great mostly, the 2020 vintage and their white…read morewine.

    This place is absolutely AWFUL! Save your time. Save your…read moremoney. Most of all save yourself from being insulted by the rude, old, nasty, crab of a woman who works giving the tastings at the boutique. Let me start by saying that there is no shortage of Vineyards on Bruce street. Until we arrived at Vignoble Gagliano, my friends and I were having an amazing afternoon exploring all the local vineyards. Our pleasant moods were cut off abruptly when we entered the boutique to find what looked like the 'hostess' throwing back a glass of wine. We all became awkward and flustered as she stared at us like we were disturbing her. My cousin then approached her and asked her if we could have a tasting. She thrust a price list at her. My cousin then asked her which wines she recommended. She haphazardly motioned to the list of wines in front of us. My cousin pressed on, asking which were her best sellers. She snapped, answering, they're all best sellers. I wanted to avoid confrontation, so I pointed to a wine on the list and I was quickly told I couldn't have that one. ??? (Here we were, paying customers, happy to spend lots of $$$ at all the places we visited today and we couldn't even get this old crone to even look at us never mind answer us.) We all picked a hand full of wines to try and started what was possibly the most disagreeable wine tasting with one of the most disagreeable people I have ever met. I wish I could say the the wine was so good that it redeemed the situation, but it was just bloody awful. My cousin said it the best, the wine was as bad and as sour as our 'hostess'. Halfway during our tasting, some labourers came in from the field. Dripping with sweat and looking worse for wear. During our tasting is when she decided to berate them for not having cleaned their clippers, and then started mumbling and complaining to herself. At this point we were so done. We just wanted to pay and leave, but lucky for us! We still had two fortified wines to try. They were sickening, just absolutely revolting. I ended up discreetly pouring mine into the bin that was located just beside me, in fear that she may give me hell over not liking the wine. After the last tasting, we decided that we wouldn't buy anything. (We tried to buy at least one bottle from every vineyard we went to today to support these local growers and the fine products they are producing right here in Quebec) However, there was no way we were supporting this business! When we approached the cash to pay for our tasting she insisted that one person pay for everyone. My cousin clarified that we would all be paying separately for our tastings. She told my cousin it must be paid together because she wasn't going to ring up more then one bill. We were all about to protest when we decided, she is just so absolutely, terrifyingly miserable, that it's not worth our time. We paid together and walked out. My only regret is not reading this other persons review on Yelp first before going. She is so spot on. Glad to see we weren't the only ones treated like crap.

    We received a cold and rude reception when we arrived close to closing time on a Friday afternoon…read morein July. The nasty little old lady who begrudgingly served us offered no explanation of grape, growing process, what they had to offer -- zilch. She was a sour old bag who just wanted to leave. Some other customers had just bought a bottle and were still milling around - she seemed bothered when we walked in, despite their welcoming "ouvert!" sign. Given no direction or sign of welcome we asked to try a sparkling wine and a rose - which we were most interested in finding as hostess gifts. Both were bloody awful - sweet without subtlety, and flat, bitter, short on flavor. So we awkwardly excused ourselves from buying saying it wasn't really what we were looking for, and we paid the ridiculous price of $5 for these 4 tastes of swill. We knew we would pay, so that was not a problem, but normally you get some chat or information about what you are sampling. Then our "hostess" didn't even say thank you when we paid - a true crumedgeon in a crap vineyard. Interesting detail: one corner had bottles all covered in what appeared to be medals on ribbons -upon inspection they were simply little little markers of participation in the Finger Lakes international Wine contest... not one winner! Just a sham, completely misleading false presentation ... ha! Avoid this epic fail.
