Q. Do you have tours of the winery and vineyards?
A. We can pre-arrange tours for groups of ten or more.

And we love talking about growing grapes and making Wine and Beer.

Q. What is the travel time between Wineries in The County?
A. Rough estimate, about 10 to 15-minutes as long as you stay with wineries that are fairly close together on the map ( https://recommended.tours/pec/ ). The County is a lot bigger than it looks on a map and there are several clusters of great wineries, breweries, cideries and distliieries…each cluster worthy of an entire visit if not several visits!

Q. Is there Uber or Lyft, or are there Taxicabs we can call in The County?
A. There’s nothing like Uber in The County, but there are two Taxi services that you can call: “Cronkie’s” and “Terry’s”. However, service may not be as à la minute as you would expect in a city.

Q. Is there a list of all the Wineries, Breweries, Cideries, Meaderies and Distilleries in the County, or in Ontario?
A. Yes! There is such a list for all of Ontario and it’s quite complete because the establishements aren’t required to join, or pay, or even update their own listings; the info is taken right from their websites. Here is the link:

We’re OPEN from 11 AM to 6 PM every day for indoor, seated Wine and Beer Tastings, in-store shopping and purchase, curbside pickup and telephone or online ordering.
