The Grange of Prince Edward — Attraction in Ontario

The event coordinator Marlise and the bar/server/grounds staff went above and beyond for Lindsay and I. We had a 50 person ceremony with a few special preferences and Marlise and the entire staff gave us the best evening we could have dreamed of. Marlise helped us structure the ceremony before the event which was invaluable. Lindsay and I generally knew what we wanted but Marlise helped us get even more out of the night with helpful suggestions from moving the ceremony up fifteen minutes to make the most of the evening light, from suggesting we do a first dance to help transition from the dinner to the dancing reception. During the wedding Marlise helped Lindsay and I as well as the guests transition from the guest arrival, through the ceremony, to before dinner drinks and photos, dinner and then the reception. I can’t thank Marlise enough for her thoughtful & thorough assistance and guidance.

The staff were as delightful as they were professional. The bar staff helped us pick our wines for the wedding and helped us set up our decorations. Shout out to George for finding an extension cord for our trellis lights. I also really appreciate that the servers kept our glasses full during dinner. The grounds staff did a marvelous job keeping the place as beautiful as could be.

Event space wise, this place is stunning. We had our ceremony out by the pond in the back with the trellis between two birch trees. Their barn's wooden appearance is so cozy and upscale, and on our first visit, Lindsay and I knew this place had the right old/new balance we were looking for. There is even a working fireplace that the staff kept adding logs to until it was time for the night to end.

The food was spectacular. After the ceremony we had appetizers and drinks then a fantastic meal. We started with a delicious soup with hot oil and crunchy garnishes on top, then had either chicken or rib-eye. I had the steak which had herb butter on top and was served with roast vegetables. The perfect fall meal. The dessert was also delicious and perked me up and got me ready to dance.

The Grange was the perfect venue for Lindsay and I. I would highly recommend this venue for anyone planning a wedding in PEC. The event space is gorgeous and every staff member spoiled us with their effort...

Dec. 29/19 Early afternoon: We unfortunately had a very unwelcoming experience at the Grange. We are staying in PEC over the holidays and spent the afternoon visiting several local wineries. After visiting a few others, we stopped by the Grange. We came in to browse the artisan gifts and goodies, and to buy several bottles of wine for our New Years celebrations. After about 5 minutes of browsing, the woman behind the tasting counter asked if we would like to do a tasting. When we kindly replied “no thanks, we’re at the end of our wine tasting for the day but we wanted to come stop by”, the woman then laughed mockingly and rudely said “well that’s odd, you come to a winery not to taste wine.” This made us all feel extremely uncomfortable, especially since we were about to buy several bottles of their wine. It was then very upsetting and surprising that the woman then turned around to other paying customers, laughed at our expense and said “that’s weird.” The others weren’t laughing. Needless to say, we didn’t purchase the wine at the Grange after being made to feel very unwelcome. Contrary to this experience, we had just visited the Broken Stone winery where we had a genuine and lovely experience. We learnt of the history of the winery, we met the owner of this family run business and his daughter who were both lovely, we received a complimentary welcome glass of sparking wine (it was delicious), and we got a tour of the building. We always have great experiences in PEC, up until now...

As many of the recent reviews highlighted, a woman with glasses served us and was also dismissive, rude and seemed overall displeased. She didn't give us any information on their wines, was cheap on the poor of tasters and finaly left us at some point never to return. Our group was in PEC for my birthday and when we mentioned it to our server he said he couldn't do anything because anyone could say it's their birthday. What?! Are you serious?! He was nice but also said very little and seemed overwhelemed when it wasn't that busy. When we asked him to buy a bottle of their Brut, he told us to go get it from the shelf ourselves and then wait in line to pay. While in line I saw multiple other patrons skip the line and pay cash. Lastly they don't even offer free sampling upon bottle purchase, so we paid for terrible service and barely an ounce per taster. It's very overpriced for what you get especially compared to the 30 plus other wineries around. We thought about having a bottle of their wine with the picnic option on their patio however the price of the wine then jumps from 30 a bottle to 50! What!? Nevermind. We drove to Wellington beach and had a picnic table snack with wine for free with a much better view. Wine is good but not for the price and service was the worst we had on our trip of...
