We came in for a quick tasting of their wines and the hosts are clearly knowledgable about their wines. They offered our large party 4 different wines for tasting at $7 per person, and it comes with a nice discussion on the flavours to be expected and a bit of background about the wines and vineyard. The hosts were very friendly and accommodating, and it's easy to see why there was quite a bit of traffic at this vineyard. No reservations are necessary but it's best to check with them if you have a very large group. Note that they have very friendly Goldens roaming the fields a bit (they are the "Branch Managers"), definitely adds points to the already 5 star review!

Skip this place unless you don't mind ridiculous tasting fees. I have tasted wine all over the world at some of the finest wineries, including small boutique producers and have never paid this price. The only reason I tasted here is that I was dumb enough not to look at the prices and too embarrassed to back out once the tasting started. There are other small wineries in PEC that produce better quality wines that don't have that homemade backyard taste and they charge $3-5 for an ounce tasting.

Discovered this winery on at Saturday afternoon after reading about it on Google. The reviews…read moremostly raved about the friendly owner, service and pizza. We arrived at 12 pm and there was roughly a line of five people ahead of us and heaps of people leaving the store with pizza boxes. The parking lot was busy. While in line, we met the owner Anthony. Based on our conversation, one could tell that he is passionate about what he does and enjoys it. He spoke of his training in Italy and that he is one of the few Pizzaiolo in Canada. After hearing this, we ordered a bottle of white wine (Vidal) and a calabrese pizza. Their patio was full and the owner set up a table with his chairs from Tuscany by the entrance/exit to the kitchen. He said that when the restaurant is sometimes full, he used to bring out his own furniture. The pizza was phenomenal. Anthony said that he wakes up at 5 am to start on the dough, but was unable to share his secrets on how great the dough was. It had more of a phyllo texture and the meat was delicious. Overall, we very much enjoyed our experience learning about the history.

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.

TLDR - Come for the wine, not the decor. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4.0…read more Wine - 3.5 stars Services - 4 stars friendly. Ambiance - rustic 3.0. But if you are looking for NOTL-style grand decor, you won't find it here. Gravel Hill Vineyard is really small. It barely advertises. We found it because we saw it on our way out of a lavender farm. The welcome/visitor area was essentially a DIY patio with a bartender counter. No chair that I could see. Rustic and befitting of a farm environment. I respected the frankness. The owner and winemaker served us. The dude was friendly. He obviously had passion in his creations. We tasted maybe 2 white and 2 red. To be honest, we liked the white (Killdear) the most. It was not too dry, not too sweet. Just tuned to what we liked. We also bought a red (2018 INK). I liked it deep and complex. Before we arrived at Gravel Hill, we wine tasted at a more famous winery on the same road. I preferred Gravel Hill's wine. As the website says, it's about the wine (i.e. not the decor). I am not sure you could find Gravel Hill wine at LCBO because it is such a small vineyard. So if you are intrigued, drop by the winery in person when you are in town.

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.
