Pelee Island Winery — Attraction in Kingsville

This could be a 5 star if I didn't have the experience of the manager(Short blonde hair and glasses?). A group of girls including myself went over to enjoy the winery. As we arrived we noticed there was a marathon which was great because that would mean more people going to the winery. We walked in and the girls working behind the bar were super excellent and knowledgeable about the wine we were trying. We picked out the bottles of wine we enjoyed, purchased them and sat in the barrel(There's big wine barrels with a booth in them! Super cool!). My group can get loud(what girls can't? haha) hence why we secluded ourselves in this barrel not to disturb anyone. As we were enjoying our time people would open the door and state how cool the barrel was asked for pictures and some joined us for a drink. So the door was constantly being opened. The manager told us earlier that there would be a line of people since there was a barbeque and we told her that's fine since we were content in the barrel, the other one was located right near the fryer and the patio had no seats. She was extremely rude and left us be. The second encounter she angrily opened the door and started "Girls out of the barrel. Nope get out, you've had enough time in there". We again stated the same thing so she told us "you need to keep this door closed" it was hard to do that when people were opening it and looking in and there was no handle inside to shut it! She stood directly outside of our barrel for almost the rest of our time there. Completely unpleasant lady. There were people coming up to us saying how unpleasant she was to us and how rude she was so it obviously wasn't just us thinking that. There was never a line up outside of our barrel either. Completely unnecessary the way we were treated. Beautiful place....

This was our absolute favorite winery that we visited in Canada!

We walked inside to very friendly staff members who were helpful with our questions. We chose to do the tour which also included 4 wine tastings for each person and a souvenir wine glass for $10 a person.

We had Beverly as our tour guide and she was an absolute delight. She was so friendly, informative, and enthusiastic the whole time. She takes you through the process of making and bottling wine, while showing you the barrels and equipment used. During the tour, we tried the empress sparkling Riesling, Lola rose cab franc, swallow tale Pinot Grigio, peele island gewurztraminer, stone and, and semi sweet merlot. We really enjoyed each of these-so much my wife and I decided to each do a separate tasting after the tour!

For their tastings, you are able to choose any 4 from their expansive list. It is $20-$5 goes towards their charity and you get a $15 credit to use in the store after. We chose empress orange gewurztraminer, unoaked Chardonnay, JS Hamilton Pinot Grigio, Vidal ice wine, bourbon barrel baco noir, Thaddeus smith, monarch red and the red ice wine.

We loved the wines so much from this place we ended up buying 9 bottles.

This is an absolute MUST! The wine is...
