We went with a group of 40 people to this winery today. It was pre-planned and they were ready for us. Maggie was an informative and fun tour guide and showed us everything at the winery. We got a real behind the scenes view. Our package included a lovely lunch of salad and quiche or sandwich and a tasty dessert. The best of all was that we came home with a free bottle of wine and all the other ones we bought! You gotta go here.
Wonderful winery. Very friendly and knowledgable staff and lovely wines. If you are there around lunchtime the give their picnic basket a try.
Best Riesling we had on our tour: Estate Off-Dry Riesling. Highly recommended! Beautiful setting also.
No doubting the pedigree (all estate grown) and quality (solid northern European varietal wines) of Grange's wines - and they have a certain Reputation - but we were somewhat disappointed with the ambiance and (lack of) enthusiasm / knowledge of our pourer host, who seemed to be pre-occupied yet had little else to do. I mean we had travelled literally thousands of miles and consciously selected just a few PEC wineries to discover and report back on, yet this didn't seem to stir him / them from casual insouciance. I'm sure it's not a general theme here - after all good reviews are the norm - but this is what we felt. The whole visit lasted about 15 minutes in the end - Maybe it was a given that we wouldn't be repeat customers; therefore Not Worthy !
This is a lovely winery, the setting is beautiful, the barn converted into the wine tasting bar is stunning, the wine is reasonably priced compared to many wineries in the area and the whites are really good!
Came back for a second try. The setting is still beautiful, the wine tasting area also wonderful. The service at the bar far better then 2 years ago. And their chardonnay outstanding. This time a bought a couple bottles of wine. Whereas last time I left empty handed. So all and all great improvement in product and service.
Had the opportunity to enjoy the wine and hospitality of Grange Winery last week. Great wine, amazing location, wonderful picnic. If you havent had the chance to go to Prince Edward County and enjoy the wine tours, its a must!
Begin the visit by driving along vines full of fruit. A short walk around the building took us to the tasting room. After a few samples, while looking out over their beautiful property, we made our selections and purchases. Sadly, we had had breakfast not long before, so we did not get to sample the picnic lunch option. The choices were interesting, and you can add a bottle of wine to your basket, grab a blanket and head off on their property to have lunch. The property has a small creek with a waterfall, a banquet hall with enough character for some wonderful wedding pictures. It would be especially beautiful in full fall colours. We took a couple of pictures of grapes on the vine and then happened upon the very friendly owner. Definitely a place to return to!
Great service , a good selection of wine I would recommend this visit to anyone We will be returning here in the near future , with our friends I would have liked the Pinot Gris , but it was sold out.
Pros: Great atmosphere in an old barn. Nice scenery. Wine is great (we bought a case last year).Cons: -We went for lunch, but most of the food was sold out by 1230. We bought the last few remaining sandwhiches. -You must buy 6 bottles to get your tasting free, ink me most wineries that give them after 1 or 2 bottles.
