Best winery ever! Woody made the experience so amazing. He was so accommodating and dealt with a group of 8 girls not only with tolerance but with patience and going the extra mile! Woody is awesome!

We went on a quiet Sunday and had pretty much the whole place to ourselves. Patio outside is so beautiful and serene, great atmosphere and so relaxing. The server was very knowledgeable and friendly, great service. The wines were delicious and well priced. Would absolutely come back!

Hillier is one of the longest running wineries in Price Edward County. The estate grounds are beautiful and their wine is superb!! The Roses are delicious. Enjoy a tasting or a glass in their back patio. 👍☺️

This winery not only produces great wines, but also it is one of the most astonishingly beautiful wineries that you can visit in Prince Edward County. 50 acres of property, a rustic 160 old barn, and they have a patio overlooking a creek - the ambience is just so perfect! Also, if you drop by to try the wines - order their pizza too!! It is incredible!!!

We just had a wonderful experience at Hillier Creek Estates Winery. The winery itself is very scenic and serene and the tasting experience was enjoyable and informative. Lydia was very welcoming and helped us choose several varieties to buy. We hope to return one day!

I wanted to like this place, they have a lovely patio in the back. My issue is the employee doesn t know anything about the wine. I had a few (simple) questions and, she was unable to answer them. Questions were: Is everything oaked / what isn t, and, what has the fewest sulphites? She didn t know the answer to either of these questions so, I guessed at what I may not have an allergic reaction to. I would have left but, we wanted to try / buy some wine because of the name Hillier Over the weekend we visited 5 wineries. This was the only place where the employee could not answer my questions . Her response was I don t know, I only work here . When I looked at her puzzled she responded in all seriousness I don t know. It was a disappointment for sure. My partner and I shared a flight, I barely had any as I was worried I d have a reaction (my mouth was itchy at one point). I don t see us coming back. My recommendation to the estate - ensure your staff are happy to be there and, know about the product they are giving out.

December 22, 2021

Staff Unfriendly and seemed like they really didn t want to be working. Pizza was undercooked and soggy. They are also not checking Vaccine passports. Would not recommend anyone to this winery.

December 22, 2021

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience. Upon arriving we overheard several guests walking out saying the staff were rude - this was immediately a red flag. When we arrived at the door we waited several minutes without being greeted (although the staff did see us waiting outside the entrance/guest podium). There was no communication acknowledging we were there and that someone would be with us shortly. While observing the staff we also noticed they were visibly flustered, disorganized, and overall annoyed. Despite that fact there was minimal traffic in the winery. I would HIGHLY recommend that you take the time to train your staff & onboard them. Theres nothing more disappointing than arriving at a winery, only to be welcomed by unprofessional staff who seem irritated by the fact that people are coming to visit for a great winery experience. We will not be returning.

My family and I attended this winery based on a telephone call earlier in the day wherein we were promised wine tours were available. Upon arrival, we were advised no tours were available due to a staffing shortage. Okay, so we travelled 30 minutes and thought at least we can taste wine and eat pizza. Terribly disappointed with the staff, the wine tasting experience and the pizza. While we have an open mind and were initially sympathetic to the staff being hurried, we soon realized the staffing shortage was really only a poor excuse for treating clients rudely. For starters, one menu for five people is ridiculous. Providing one ounce of wine in one glass for four adults to share is unconscionable in 2021. Charging $20 for an eight slice pizza that is thinner than a tortilla is gouging. Providing no plates for your guests who are sharing the pizza is simply lazy. I could gone on but I believe the point is...go to another winery.

We stopped in this past weekend for some tastings and a pizza and had such a wonderful time! I would not consider myself well versed in wine tasting but I appreciated the knowledge and friendliness of our server Linda who gave excellent recommendations and pairing options for us. We had a really great experience here, I learned some really great tips, and everything tasted amazing! I definitely recommend this spot!!

Today was our last visit for the season to have wine and pizza on the patio. As always the staff are wonderful! Enjoyed some tastings (new wine blend and a new delectable bubbly - sadly only available on the patio) and really enjoyed the flavourful pizzas! Particularly good crust today! Pre-covid, this was a fave place to sit with a glass of wine in the cool of the patio with the sounds of the creek and the birds in the trees...so peaceful . Have mostly stayed away this season with only a couple visits. The staff are visibly doing a great job keeping up with sanitizing. The servers are great and as always super friendly and knowledgeable. The pizza cook is also fabulous! Hope all have a great autumn and winter. See you next season. Cheers!

First stop on our wine tour, and we enjoyed it so much that we had to go back the next day to pick up a few more bottles. We got to taste their delicious wine while having a tour with Woody.

Loved it. Conveniently located, not too far from Hwy 401. Beautifully maintained grounds. Clear view of the grape vines growing near the main building. Tours offered, $25 per person. Wine tasting $5. Free with wine purchase. Barrel Aged Chardonnay at $35 was great from the perspective of a whisky enthusiast. Pizza available.

This was our first stop, as its one of the first wineries. The service was good (hence the 2 stars), wines were okay and the pizza was very over-priced for what it was and we had to wait 40 minutes for us. Much better wineries in the area ie. Stanners and Kent-He were our favourites!

We have been here twice now and both times we enjoyed the laid back somewhat European atmosphere. We really like the pizza from the wood oven. They are nice and thin and with a nice white wine (although one should really drink beer with pizza, Italians told me) , life feels good on the patio.

The quality of wine was up there with the best Ive had in PEC, and the wood fired pizza was great, but I found the prices a bit steep considering the alternatives. Im not sure of my expectations were up, but the service was a bit lacking too. Ive frequented a lot of the wineries around PEC and I love the small town l, family vibe they offer. Even on a crazy busy weekend Ive had great personal service. Instead of a friendly hello, it was a brush past without a glance. It was a Wednesday afternoon and although they were perhaps a bit understaffed for the number of people coming and going, at the very least to expect is some recognition. Everything worked out in the end and I would still recommend a visit for sure.

First heard of this winery at a gallery tasting in Oshawa. I literally left this venue after being seated for 2 minutes. We were preceeded by a caucasian couple who were directed to be seated while the female server visually skimmed over us but said nothing. I voluntarily asked if we could be seated too to which she replied yes. It was after that my mom shared she observed the server looking at me with disdain. My sister also shared she felt a negative vibe as well. About a minute in the same serve brought over the menus by dropping them onto our table and walking away. No greeting, eye contact, nothing. We decided to leave then. I told the sever very calmly why we were leaving - due to her dismissive attitude; to which she surprisingly replied with a chirpy ok. Like it was no issue to her that we were leaving. The perpetuation of such behaviour is so ugly truth behind all societal ills. I left a message on their voicemail after getting back to the car. Lets see how much they care.

Unfortunately as someone else pointed out in their review, we arrived when there was a private event and they were down a server so the service was rushed, cold and minimalist. I bought their Pinot Noir because it was light, had some typical spicy notes to it and was a good price. After visit 11 other wineries though I forgot about Hillier. Their wines and service dis not stick out in my mind. Its a large space and its beautiful though for an event.

Came for lunch. Poor service - we had to get water for ourselves after waiting 15 minutes and all the servers appeared frazzled and confused despite how many staff they had. Pizzas had dry crusts and mediocre toppings. Gorgonzola and onion pizza was especially sad with not nearly enough toppings to merit being called a pizza. Basically ate like an onion bun. The cheese plates looked equally sad. The patio was nice but not with subjecting yourself to the food and service for.
