Pearl Morissette Winery — Attraction in Lincoln

An Unexpected Gem at Pearl Morissette Winery 🍷

We stopped at Pearl Morissette Winery on a whim on a Sunday afternoon, hoping to squeeze in a wine tasting—and to our surprise, their new Wine Shop Tasting Room had just opened a month ago!

The space itself is stunning. As soon as you walk in, you’re greeted by a beautiful mix of antique European furniture passed down through generations, seamlessly paired with custom-built pieces designed specifically for the space. It feels both historic and modern, rustic yet refined and Very intimate.

We lucked out as we were the only ones inside at the time. Our group of four received a private, story-rich tasting experience, learning all about the origins of Pearl Morissette and their wines. The owners, of Bulgarian descent, generously shared unique traditions and insights with us. One especially memorable detail was the story of Saint Trifon the Pruner—the Bulgarian patron saint of vineyards and winemakers—whose feast is celebrated on February 14th. (Check out my pictures for a look at his icon representation!)

We enjoyed a flight of three wines each: a white, a rosé, and a red blend. All were unfiltered, slightly effervescent, and beautifully dry with spicy, fruity undertones. Each pour was a unique experience—vibrant, bold, and true to their natural style.

We couldn’t leave without picking up a few bottles of our favourites—and now we can’t wait to return for one of their private dinner events and experience their Michelin-starred cuisine. Pearl Morissette is a must-visit for any wine lover looking for something truly special, with deep heritage and...

Pearl Morissette is an exceptional restaurant. The setting is the first thing that sets it apart; this is a rural location. My partner and I walked (yes walked) from Jordan to the restaurant (Inn on the Twenty to be exact) - many people will tell you it's not walkable, but it's actually a km and small change and if you're from the city, that's a walk. It's more accurate to say the area is not "walk friendly", but it's doable!

Of course, none of that is PM's issue - and once you arrive it is an exceptional spot, you're whisked into a special spot where they pay attention to detail.

The food was exceptional and in spots better than what we experience in the city (Toronto) - Pearl Morissette punches at a national weight. The wine parings were good, however they include a "juice" in the pairing, which is best left to those who choose the juice pairing.

Service was excellent, Somm was engaging with good background provided for the wines - heavy on the PM wines as you would expect, but an international and other local thrown in there with great stories accompanying.

PM is doing great work and most importantly, with the exception of one wine, I believe everything we were served was Canadian in origin. These days, that...

We had an amazing experience celebrating a birthday and wedding anniversary here. The staff are so incredibly friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Our server, Akshaye, made our experience very special. All of the courses were delicious. I really enjoyed how much seafood was part of the menu. The wine was also a great addition to the meal. I highly recommend coming here and enjoying a...
