Last month I went on a tour of some local winery's. I would highly recommend to visit . You will not be disappointed. The one winery that I would go back to visit again would be Cooper's hawk . Set back off a little farm road draws your attention . Once inside you will enjoy every moment. One of the best wines I have had!! Ann
Great place to sit an relax with a glass of wine. Enjoyed many times with friends. Looking forward to my next visit.

We just stopped in to Cooper's Hawk Vineyard this afternoon during our afternoon drive. We were wanting to take in the sights of the area and this vineyard caught our eye. We had a wonderful visit. Maria took us through a wonderful wine tasting. She determined things we did and did not enjoy and made excellent recommendations for wines that she thought we would appreciate. We also had the opportunity to chat with one of the owners Tom. Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. We walked away happy with our wine selections and look forward to future visits.
A great day trip, the wine is awesome. I have been here several times. They also have special events with meals and entertainment all good. The gift shop made it easy for me to get special Christmas gifts. The staff is vey informative and friendly. I'll be back!!!
Greg, Thanks your your comments, this past winter the vines were severely damaged by the cold. We lost almost all buds that produce grapes and therefore will have a very small harvest this year. The vines had to be cut back to the root stock so they don't look their best. It will take time to get back to normal. As for tastings all fees, they are waived with any purchase. Plus any tasting fees we do collect are donated to the Essex Region Conservation Foundation, the money is used to help preserve the natural areas is Essex County. Also we are restricted by the amount we can pour to 1oz by the AGCO. We hope that you return again and we always strive to improve so we thank you for your feedback.
Driving down Iler Road is a treat in itself. And then... Coopers Hawk captures ones attention with its impressive vineyards lined up along the road - each labeled by grape. As you drive into the winery, a sense of calm washes over you. You quickly realize this is a place you can bring your entire family with the expansive land, beautiful environmentally friendly ponds, playground, amphitheatre, dining room, outdoor patio and gift shop - not to mention the actual tasting area! Walking into Coopers Hawk Winery is like walking into your best friends home. The staff is warm and welcoming - immediately offering you a taste of one of their many delicious wines (my fav is the Cab Franc Reserve). Quite often - Tom O'Brien will come out and greet you himself. If he's not too busy crushing grapes, he may even give you a personal tour. Winemaker, Rori Mccaw has been known to do the same. If you're really lucky, she'll even test out her latest blend on you. Be sure to catch Alexander Zonjic and friends one evening for an elegant, exquisite and irresistible night out. For those weekend afternoons when your family is looking for something different to do... pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the afternoon sipping a glass of wine on the outdoor patio as the kids run around on the playground. This is what life in Essex County is all about.*
We were our our fourth Erie Winery tour and this was the best winery this year. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and give good hints about the wines they offer, local inns and restaurants. A must Winery to visit.
