She told us abitt about the different wines but other then that she didn't give us much more information. We decided to go with the wine sampler option because unfortunately there wasn't any other option available like a vineyard tour. They didn't seem to have food that we could have maybe paired with our wine sampler or maybe they did but we weren't informed, so I suggest that if you haven't bought the packages available on the website in advance to eat before going there. The vineyard is pretty big. They had alot of seating areas all over and they also had an upstairs patio. They have 8 different wines when you can sample from, my favorite was the swenson white. If you wanted to purchase a bottle, it ranged between 20$ to 25$

Maria, the chef, is super friendly and knowledgeable. I recently took a Mexican cooking class with her and my mother-in-law. It was a lot of fun and the food was delicious. There is a commercial kitchen in the downstairs of the Shenkman Arts Centre that is used for the cooking classes. The kitchen is well equipped and there are volunteers to help with cleaning dishes as the class cooks along with provided recipes. The communal meal afterwards is really nice to be able to talk to fellow classmates and to enjoy what we made together. You're allowed to bring containers with you to the class in case there are any leftovers. We ended up bringing home a bunch of things because there was plenty to go around. I highly recommend checking out a cooking class here!

I brought my atv to get fixed due to a start and stop issue. I informed the garage that it was the…read moremagneto and flywheel that was the issue. They then suggested to do a diagnostic on the bike which I agreed to. They later came.back saying it was not the magneto or flywheel 100% as they tested it that it was piston and rods. They asked if I would agree to use 1 hour labour's to fix it, I agreed as I was expecting it to be the magneto which was a more expensive fix. Once the rods and pistons were adjusted the same issue was happening. They wanted another hour to test. Turns out they name a mistake a it was the magneto and flywheel which I originally asked to fix. Had them fix that issue. After that they charged me half an hour labor to look at the carburetor which was never adjusted because the fuel air isn't adjusted they also told me that they drained my brand new 2 day old battery dead that they had to recharge it and had to drain my week old oil to fix the issue and charged me for an oil change. When I got the phone call that it runs I was happy to go pick it up with a almost 900$ bill. As I arrive there the mechanic says the bike only starts by pulling the cord. So I ask them to take another 30 min to diagnose if it's the starter or the solenoid. He later tells me it's the starter. So as I'm loading up the vehicle, the mechanic is telling me that the carb was never adjusted because they never told him to look at it. When I bring the bike home I then order a starter and install it. Same issue, only starts by cord. So I order a solenoid. Same issue, only starts by cord. I return both parts and order new ones thinking they're defective. Install them both. Same issue, only starts with cord. I later have a mechanic friend test the wiring because I'm stumped. He said all the wiring is good., solenoid is good and the starter which was diagnosed is good. So he has the idea of disconnecting the starter from the flywheel and magneto casing which was worked on by the garage. And to our surprise the starter turns like it should. He then tells me that something in the flywheel casing is either installed wrong or is jammed which should have been checked by the mechanic when parts were Installed. A day after I call the garage to explain the situation and they said it has nothing to do with them, that it's an older bike so it parts break, seize or jam while working on it its not their responsibility. I ask him about the starter and he said they put power to it and it didn't move while it was installed. So I asked if they tested it uninstalled and they say no. They later tell me that too many hands have been touching the bike that if I want to get it fixed I'd have to bring it to them for another diagnostic and keep it there to get fixed. I explained how the bike started by ignition with no issues before bringing it to them and I had proof that I brought it and started it by ignition. His response is it's an old bike and he can't trust that it started by ignition when brought and had no proof that it stopped working while with them. They want me to leave it with them for further investigation and hours to fix it. I've heard many people after me coming out with my story that it has happened to then also. They brake pieces in order to jack up the bill.

Picture this- a group of about 25, 18 to 19 year old students, many of whom have never celebrated Halloween before our visit. Tickets range from $15 to $25, the latter being the standard, $20 being the group rate, and the low rate of $15 coming as part of a one day flash sale they had pre-haunting season. With your ticket, you get a one-time admission to each of their 4 fright sites which include: The Spooky Wagon Ride, House of Terror, Spooky Village, and Fog Maze. They are open from 7 until 10 pm. Before arriving, I wasn't sure if it was enough time, but if you plan accordingly and hit the wagon ride (which has the longest wait line) first and then check out the rest of the attractions, you're pretty well set. Admittedly, I only personally experienced the Spooky Wagon Ride and the Spooky Village. I don't do well with things that go bump in the night, and chickened out of the other two sites. The Spooky Wagon Ride is pretty neat, it's interactive and definitely has its freaky moments. I personally found that the Spooky Village is a bit more on the goofy side than scary side- a break I was happy to encounter. There certainly are some jump factors there, but nothing overwhelming and it was a lot less nerve rattling. It's a bit of a drive to get there, but in my opinion, for the season, it's worth it. Alot of the great Halloween attractions seem to be just on the outskirts, but it makes sense since it's at an orchard. There is food available for purchase, but keep in mind if you are looking for some freshly made fries, the canteen only accepts cash. Oh! And this is a big one for some people- the only bathrooms I found were porta-potties, but they were spacious and clean. I would definitely recommend this as a family fun activity or a night out with friends!

They do have free range chickens and ducks running around as well. It's only $10 a person and it's worth it for a fun outing. If you do go please respect the rules of not chasing the chickens and ducks, you might very well give them a heart attack. And no one wants to see that. But I'd definitely recommend it especially if you've got kids. They've even got information plaques about all the animals around the place so it's fun and educational.

If you come here during the winter, I recommend dressing VERY warm as most of the activities are outdoors, and to skip the stroller and bring a sled if anything. Strollers are also not allowed in the indoor exhibits, so your stuck leaving them outside. Much smaller than Upper Canada Village, but did the trick for a festive night out.

What's more, the staff were very friendly, helpful and the demonstrations of skills from the period were interesting and informative to watch. Having travelled to Ottawa more times than I can count, the only thing I wonder is why I hadn't discovered this gem sooner. The place is very family-friendly and has lots of space for young ones to burn off steam - as they often don't have the patience to see everything that's offered. If you want a great way to spend a few hours with the family, it's worth considering the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum.
