Harwood Estate Winery Brewery Bistro Inn — Restaurant in Ontario

I visited this venue because my great grandfather who I was named after once owned the property in the mid 1900’s. I learned that the farm was repurposed as a winery so I was excited to visit and share my ancestral connection to the property. I spoke directly to one of the owners and she was like “oh - ok”. She was not very talkative and seemed kind of stuffy. I’m not a professional wine taster but my first tasting was a dry white wine and my second tasting was a red wine...

The staff has always been very hospitable and helpful. I took my oldest son and his wife there Easter weekend. We tasted some excellent wines and enjoyed our plate of pairings. Our hostess was fabulous. She took the time to tell us the history of the winery and it’s founder. As we were purchasing our wine, a host recognized us from the previous visits.
