There is a hotel with an indoor pool if you want to take the family as well. We went in the winter so not much else we could see but it looked like there was more during the summer. Might have to check it out then.

Loved that they served complimentary Taro chips too. We also enjoyed a dinner at the Hessenland Inn dining room - especially next to their window over looking their pool & gardens. The sunshine through the stained glass panelling made the ambiance so enjoyable! PORK SCHNITZEL (5/5) - enormous portion of schnitzel and loved the thinner breading they had. The red cabbage is so addicting - savoury & sweet! Their spatzle is probably the best I've had too - golden edges with a new chew to it and loved that slight eggy buttery taste. BEEF ROULADEN (4/5) - it was a nice beef roll type dish! The gravy complimented this slightly drier preparation of meat. It also came with that delicious red cabbage & spatzle. I also loved that we got to walk around and explore their grounds after - my favourite being their private beach access!

The inside has a variety of items from local artists and the outside patio was charming. wines were mostly dry varieties with a few semisweet/off dry. All were very flavorful.

We are American and we have visited before for craft markets and just picking out wines. The staff are warm and friendly and I was fortunate to also interact again with Anne, an owner. So sad they will be closing..... I have never had a problem with American credit cards there, ambience, service of any kind. I read the review from the "Entitled American" from a couple of years ago and feel there is a lot more to that story about that visit and the "Entitled Couples" behavior.. Great place and owners and staff!

Gorgeous…read more Located just south of Grand Bend, this picture perfect winery & cidery has become a day-trip destination for couples, girls trips, bachelorettes, mom's-day-outs and everything in between. It's just so stinkin' pretty. The grounds are beautiful and the swing seats are really cool. Everywhere you look is breathtaking, and of course a photo opportunity. The food and drinks are reasonable. The charcuterie and "Apple & Brie Pinsa" (pizza) are my recommendations, along with a flight so you can find your new favourite drink. The "Peach Apple Hard Cider" is mine. Did you know that all of their wine and cider is gluten free? They have a gluten free menu and can accommodate most food allergies. They also have some really good merch. And not just clothing, I'm talking candles, chocolate bars, honey, and even those super neat lids for cans. (I'm a sucker for local small business merch, can you tell?) Last but not least, get a Peach Apple gelato to go, it's the perfect summer/fall treat.

Too good to miss if you like wine or ciders! It's also a perfect spot for a special occasion!!!read more

We've been here a bunch of times to do a wine tasting and sometimes get food to at whatever food truck is here. Their wines are so unique and very flavorful! With the large amount of options on the menu, it's so tough to decide but once you find 4 for your tasting, you'll love each one.

Maybe wine tasting isn't for everyone…read more In a tiny little store front with 4 or 5 small tables w/ chairs, they start off by giving you a list of wines. You can only choose 5 to sample out of a few dozen for $8. After filling out the form, a woman gives you a small palette with five half filled tiny dixie cups, like the ones my dentist used when I was a kid. She throws in a bag of oyster crackers and walks into the back room where the wine making action is. It's at this point you'd better have some previous knowledge or the ability to figure out what the crackers are for and what to do next. She's not going to be any help. Knowing I don't care for sweet wines and very few whites, I spread my samples across the reds, dry and semi-sweets. I also picked a pear flavoured hard cider. I mastered the crackers. Ranked the five. Then the woman reappeared with a pen and order tablet. I guess it's assumed you'll purchase some of those wines. I didn't like the flavour of their Pinot Noir, but the Marquette (dry) and the Concord (semi) made the trip home with us. This wasn't anything like what I've seen in the movies, so it was a bit of a disappointment. I also believe my hostess should've been more available, helpful and less presumptuous. In the future, I'll have a totally new approach and enjoy it more. 10/25
