3.5 Star Hernder…read moreEstate Wines is one of the most down to earth wineries during my Niagara wineries crawl. The wines here are decent and affordable. Good for everyday drinking (even cheaper than some of my large format beers!) The staff here is all really welcoming and the pour definitely really generous! I was though not too crazy about their Iced fruit wines, maybe for slush making? We ended up picking up 2008 Gewurztraminer ($9.95) & 2010 Cabernet Franc ($16.95). The ground though not too glamorous but has this older rustic country vibe! Pro Tips: A lot of bus tours stop here and the tasting room is quite small to handle the crowd. Don't go in when you see any buses parked at the parking lot, would have save you a lot of time!

This is the fourth time I've been to their winery and they never disappoint. As a group of consultants from the LCBO we were greeted with an array of wines and an in depth tour. Fortunately, we were able to see their operation that most don't get to see. Their wines are top notch and highly recommended. You won't be disappointed.

In hindsight, nothing really wrong with a vineyard being more wine focused with no outdoor festivities going on. They do apparently have events but not when we were there. We came for the wine, had heard they won awards and honestly it was disappointing. We did not go on a winery tour, this is a review of the wine tasting room and flight of wines. The staff was as knowledgeable and kind as can be. Group of 4 each got a customized wine flight of three wines along with a small bag of popcorn. Staff again was super helpful in suggestions for the flight and even offered a sample to help choose the flight. My $15 flight was the Speck Family Reserve Riesling, Speck Baco Noir and Vidal ice wine. Their tasting room is in an old farm house with art upstairs along with ample seating. The Vidal ice wine, a deep amber color, was complex with strong apricot, honey and peach. This was a treat. Perhaps I need to spend more time training my palate to appreciate Baco Noir but this was tough to get through. Drinking a wine probably shouldn't be a task. The Riesling was tart like crabapples. I did find the Three of Hearts rose to be pleasant. Surprising as I'm not a big fan of rose. The rest of our group which included two from Italy were not impressed with the wines. Had high hopes for Henry of Pelham as it's such a well renowned brand. Maybe we tested the wrong wines, should have focused on what they won awards for but they were the ones suggested to us. Before we departed we visited the well aged vines and paid respects at a small loyalist cemetery on their grounds where one of the original Speck brothers is also buried.

It's been around for DECADES, producing wine and providing grapes to other wineries - even to some out in PEC. Lowdown - Due to the very favourable Google reviews, King's Court has been on my to-visit list of wineries. I knew it was small, but when I saw that the tastings were inside a trailer - albeit a dressed up one - I was a bit disappointed. Pics online showed primarily outdoor tastings, so that's what I assumed the setting was esp since the weather was soo nice! The tasting trailer reminded me of a classroom. It also looked like someone was in the middle of unpacking bottles, so it wasn't some kinda clean, pristine or nature setting where wine is usually enjoyed. Tastings were $15/3 x 2oz samples, quite typical nowadays. Rep wasn't super strict with the limit of 3, so that is always appreciated...and the way it should be. She also offered me wines that weren't on the menu that they were low on stock on, so that was very nice. I had a Riesling, Rose, Black Knight, and a coupla others. Riesling was very petrol-y which I didn't expect and wasn't a fan of. Of course, this is all subjective, so perhaps other people would enjoy this. I like Rieslings that are more easy drinking, with fruity, floral notes. Apparently this petrol/alcohol-y taste is more common with aged Rieslings and that's what this was, a 2016. Rose was soo dry for me that I couldn't finish it. And I usually finish all my samples! Overall, very welcoming staff member, in a very casual setting. Perhaps their wines are for a more mature palate?? Lemme know!

A few reasons to consider stopping by this winery for a visit, among the many wineries in the area:…read more - Butter Tart: they are famous for their butter tarts. My friends from Toronto bought a bunch to take home to their friends, it's just that popular and good. Yes, you are at a winery, but get a coffee and enjoy the tarts. Yum! - Art Gallery: they have an art gallery which is free admission, with some quality exhibits. - Sculpture Garden: Besides the indoor exhibits, they have outdoors sculpture too that is quite interesting. Be sure to take some time to walk around and admire them. Also, in the gift shop they have several of their wine in cans. I find it great to buy them as souvenirs for friends back home. A lot easier and lighter to carry, and I am able to bring gifts for more friends, since if I buy bottles, I can only buy two.

Before getting in to the full review one important tip - do not leave without getting the butter tarts in their bakery. Outrageous. For those coming only for the wine you may be disappointed. Tasted a Rose Brut, Pinot Grigio, Riesling and Gamay. The Rose Brut was the best of the group, a bit too bubbly but a pleaser. The Pinot Grigio and Riesling were decent, though both lacked structure and were watery. The Gamay, in part due to the heat, was undrinkable. We did not go on their winery tour. Perhaps they have other higher level wines that were not available in the standard flight. Lunch for 4 was really well beyond what I expected. You find an available table then go up to order your food. Wine / drinks are immediately available. They give you a table number and then bring the food to you. Despite it being full on Saturday the service was quite fast. Had a strawberry and goat cheese salad which was plentiful and excellent. Smokey Broccolini salad also recommended. Grilled chicken parmesan was apparently quite good as well. Both the truffle fries basket were superb as was the shareable cheese & charcuterie board. Prices were fair. After a delicious meal listening to live music we headed over to their art gallery and lastly a stroll over to visit the vines. Art installations throughout the vineyard add to the charm. Normally I wouldn't give 5 stars if I wasn't fond of the wine but the full package of what 13th Street offers makes it a must to visit. Perhaps next time I'll dive deeper in to the wines and see if I can find one the fits my palate.

The clams appetizer was fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared, while the slow-cooked beef entrée was incredibly tender and packed with rich flavor.

It was a simple but meaningful gesture that made the celebration feel even more special and appreciated. The service was attentive and professional despite the busy holiday crowd, and the beautiful vineyard setting made the occasion feel extra special. It was a memorable way to celebrate Mother's Day with family.

Not a flavour explosion kind of night but one that stays with you…read more Every dish here feels intentional. Contemporary, nature-driven, and deeply rooted in local ingredients, from vegetables to proteins, you can really taste the freshness in everything. Nothing is overly complex or trying too hard, but each plate is balanced, rich, and built to highlight the main ingredient properly. Every element on the plate actually makes sense together. Nothing extra, nothing wasted. It's minimal, but thoughtful. Subtle, but not forgettable. I liked every dish that came out. (Though personally... maybe a touch too much butter for me ).They also give you sourdough from their RPM Bakery, which pairs really well with the sauces. And I lowkey still miss the sea buckthorn dessert.. Service was amazing. Calm, attentive, and just fits the whole experience. I went with the Garden Drink Pairing (non-alcoholic). Not every drink was for me, but a few stood out and I really appreciated the creativity behind the whole pairing and the effort to mimic the complexity of wine. The pairing complements certain dishes really well, tbh. It was actually fun to taste how both the drink and the dish shift depending on whether I sipped before or after a bite. If you're a wine drinker though, I'd say go for the wine pairing. You'll probably enjoy it more. A very grounded experience overall. Not loud, not flashy, just quietly well done.
