Maelstrom Winery — Attraction in Huron East

A group of us visited Maelstrom Winery on a schedule tour on September 19th. We were seated outside in a beautiful area. Unfortunately that was the only positive part of our experience. We had a server, wearing a white t-shirt, who approached our table and immediately seemed annoyed he had to serve us. Two of us asked if we could only have white wine to which he commented "i can't have everyone switching up'. Ok I can understand how that could be confusing however the tone was unnecessary. We had pre-paid for 4 tastings for 8 of us. I personally only received two pours, which were minimal to say the least. The server didn't explain anything to us or talk about the winery at all. When we asked for our third pour, after waiting for quite a while, we asked if we could have our last two pours since he was taking a while. He said 'no, you guys are leaving soon anyways.' We also asked for our 8th serving since we paid for 8 and he poured one tasting into an 8th glass. He then left. Honestly, we have been to a fair amount of wineries and despite the beautiful atmosphere, this was the worst service we have ever received. I do not recommend this winery based on the terrible service we were given and will not be back. I highly recommend that you don't spend your time...

Visited for the first time in early July. I had a flight of samples and the wines were awesome. I’ve never really been an Ontario wine lover, but these wines were world class. The setting was also beautiful. We had a lovely, relaxing visit. Grabbed a couple of beers to take home. One lager and a farm house blonde. The lager was crisp, clean and refreshing. Really good. I don’t mind a hoppy beer, but on a hot day, I’m looking for something crisp and refreshing. This is it. I haven’t had the farmhouse, yet, but I’m looking forward to it. These folks have done their homework. First class experience all the way. How is Maelstrom not more widely known? This...

Haven in the midst of the rains yesterday, sat in sheltered pavilion to share a bottle of cabernet franc and chardonnay with a charcuterie board. The wines were really nice and smooth, the charcuterie board had fun cheeses (the one with cumin was delicious), flavoured pecans, kale and dill chips, bruschetta, and really lovely dips. Their gift shop has some of these items to buy and take home, amazingly scented soaps, and lots of really intriguing items. The setting in the midst of rural Ontario surrounded by grapevines is lovely. And the Maelstrom team was welcoming, informative and extremely accommodating. Great destination when touring...
