    Great winery and apple picking you-pick orchard. The…read morelocation is excellent, well tucked away in the country surrounded by farmland near Port Perry, Ontario, north of Whitby/ Oshawa and not far from Toronto. We had such a fun time with the apple picking! Then, after jumping a fence keeping us in the orchard, we headed points north down a beautiful tree lined country road to see what we could see. After that we headed back to the winery part of this farm and sampled some fruit wine as well as some conventional wines. Well worth the outing!

    An awful place that has no concept of hygiene…read more My wife and I visit and are interested in the fruit wines on display and cheeses in the fridge. To our disgust there was mould, and not the blue cheese desirable type of mould inside many packages of cheese and in numerous spots in the fridge. But the real coup-de-grâce was the dead bug that was sealed in the block of cheese. That's right. It was sealed, by the packaging machine inside the plastic wrap. When we pointed this out to the member of staff there she informed us that that was common and was typical of the packaging machine they use. Having experienced such a disgusting disregard to cleanliness we dreaded to think what could or would be in the wines, so declined to taste any. We have vowed to never visit or purchase anything from Ocala ever.

    Foods are just so so. Got the pistachio gelatto dessert but it tastes just like regular ice cream…read morewith a subtle hint of pistachio. Wine is alright, but not good for someone who likes more sweeter wine

    We had a beautiful time at this winery in Stouffville!…read more Such a random location but a real gem. The winery grounds are beautiful, there's an amazing patio wrapped around the building with stunning views of the winery. You truly feel like you're in wine country or even in the Italian countryside when you're here. We wanted to do a tasting and we were told to go find a seat outside and someone would be assisting us. We noticed that there was a separate area for people who pre-reserved lunch. I think it's a pre-set menu and it's catered by the McEwan company. The food coming out looked really tasty! We asked if they had a food menu as we were looking for a charcuterie board or something to snack on while tasting the wine, however they do not have a food menu unless you reserve in advance. Although this was a bit of a bummer, the server told us she would bring us some snacks for the wine tasting. As the lunch seating was taking place, the servers were quite busy however our server apologized for the wait and was really nice. We each had the 4 wine tasting flights and were able to choose 4 wines from their extensive list. I tried their sparkling wine, rose, a red and a white and they were pleasant but not the most amazing wines I've ever had. I liked the flavour profile of the rose and the sparkling was really light and crisp. The white and red were just OK for me. The server was knowledgeable and helped to offer suggestions based on my preferences. As promised, she also brought us some bowls with chips, nuts and dried fruit, and tarali. These were great for munching on as well as palate cleansers between the wines. I particularly enjoyed the ambiance of this winery. On a beautiful breezy summer day, it was absolute heaven sitting out on the patio and sampling some tasty wines. I would love to come for a meal one day however they only serve lunch at this time. We even had the owner come over and chat with us for a while to make sure we were enjoying our time. The wines in the retail portion of the winery are super reasonable, I don't think any wines were over $20. This is a nice way to support local business without breaking the bank. Overall this is a wonderful way to spend an hour or so. The flight of wine was only $10 and the wines are also inexpensive to purchase so this makes for an affordable afternoon out. I loved the views and European feel of the winery; it truly made me feel like I was far away without having to step on a plane!

    Gallucci Winery - They didn't have the Chardonnay that was on the pairing menu. Who knew a winery would have wine out of stock?

    A lovely drive to this spacious and well organised orchard…read more Pros: - many apple varieties, big juicy sweet apples. - more honey crisp (my favourite) rows than most gta apple farms. - picking types posted online, paper slip given on arrival to know where to pick - rows of apples well marked for type or not ready yet - 4 complimentary sample flight range from alcoholic to non - cute baked goods & jarred shop of treats - 2 flushing washroom , 2 outdoor potty with washing sink - small kids play area - small area to enjoy your treats. - plenty parking in field(drive directly in & park right side of picking row or open field) - most except one staff all very friendly and easy going Cons: One grumpy female senior that works there mans the orchard exit. She left the worst note to our trip. We declared and opened the trunk to show one bag of apples were picked $45 pre paid at entrance. She demanded she organise the bag as it spilled in trunk in our laundry basket and claimed we had 2-3 more apples over the limit. I asked calmly if she wanted to take them out, and she snarked she'll let us have them. To be clear, our bag wasn't even close to brimming like most others. She also pulled this to the cars in front of us. Our friends being there a week previously said another staff was much nicer but they've encountered this old timer and got the same treatment Despite the crusty senior, this place is worth the drive to. No fighting crowds for tractor rides to the picking fields, or searching for a variety that's over picked. Prices are per car/bag $45 for 20 lbs of apples, another bag is $45 that is prepaid at entrance. Entrance off the single lane dirt road is a bit sudden, no warning signs the orchard is coming.

    Unfortunately I didn't like the wine I tried. But I do like the idea of a winery in this area…read more Maybe i picked the wrong type of wine and I'm super willing to come and try again !
