We had the most perfect and intimate private reception at The Grange. Marlise was incredible and supported us seamlessly throughout. The new chef was amazing—our guests couldn’t stop raving about the dishes. The wine, décor, and vibe were exactly what we wanted and more. It’s a wonderful location for a private event and the coziest venue. Thank you, Marlise, and your amazing team!

Our visit to Grange Winery was nothing short of exceptional! The scenic beauty of the vineyard combined with the inviting atmosphere made it such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. The wines were top-notch, with each one offering its own delightful character. A big thank you to Carmela, who made our tasting experience truly special. Her passion for the wines and attention to detail really stood out. She was warm, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt welcome and well taken care of throughout our visit. Carmela’s enthusiasm added a personal touch to our day. We highly recommend Grange Winery and will definitely return!

Went today for wine tasting. Beautiful setting, but a little disappointed with the service. Wanted to do our tastings outdoors but, even though we both had mobility issues, and several staff were available and standing around, no one would assist in carrying glasses out or even help by opening the door. No one came out to see our thoughts on the wines or ask if we would like to purchase. Very mediocre experience, unfortunately

One of my favorite wineries in the county! Never disappointed when I come. Great wine and food menu - I can never leave without a bottle of the estate Pinot gris and steak sandwich. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and attentive to every need. Make sure to leave enough time to explore the grounds & check out when their next music event is! Some of my favourite summer concerts were at the Grange this year. Thanks again to their great team!

Nice wines, beautiful spot to stop and eat. We grabbed a breakfast sandwich on the way out on Sunday (they open early!) and it was so good.

I really enjoyed the vibe of this winery. On a chilly day, the real wood fireplace was a welcome spot to sample some wines and chitchat complete with pleasant background music and clean washrooms. We didn't receive any extra explanation on our tasting flight other than the descriptions on the menu, but they were happy to answer questions. The thing that would bring it to 5 stars would be more comfortable chairs instead of the wooden slat ones they had. The property is beautiful. I saw all ages at this winery, from young to old. It is a place that is not overly pretentious and seems to be a good place if you aren't too familiar with many wines. We enjoyed local cheese and meats as well. I wouldn't say it was the best customer service ever, but it is adequate.

The cutest winery! I did the wine tasting. 4 wines are preselected and presented in a beautifully packaged box containing small bottles that describe the wine and a small wine glass. The tasting kits can’t be customized but I was pleasantly surprised with how great the wines tasted. My friends and I spent about 2 hours here sipping wine, and having cocktails. The cocktails were so good! They also served various sausages (beyond meat options for all) that were super tasty. Highly recommend a visit here!

The space itself is beautiful, the wine is even better, and the service we received from George was the pinnacle of the trip. On a cold day in February, the Grange was warm and inviting.

Delicious early lunch at The Grange today. Outstanding grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup ( as good as or better than tomato soup at Toast & Jam in Kingston). You get to pick your bread, type of cheese, meat add on and choice of dipping sauce. Love the Rye Pickle Bread ( made locally) and homemade dill ketchup. An added bonus for me was that they carry Pluck tea from Toronto.

Were thrilled to have celebrated our wedding day at The Grange we are in such bliss from everything! Everything unfolded exactly as we had envisioned, and we couldnt be happier. In every step of our wedding planning journey, Marlise stood by our side, offering exceptional attention to detail. Her responsiveness to our email inquiries made us feel heard and valued throughout the entire process. Marlise and the teams involvement truly made it the best day of our lives! Many guests praised the chicken, saying it was the best entrée theyve had at a wedding. We will cherish these memories forever, and its all thanks to the dedicated team at The Grange.

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 barns 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 and kindness.

We received a wine tasting kit. The packaging was well done; it was simple but classy. The four mini bottles/vials were so cute and nicely labeled to describe the content. The wine glass is a small one but nice to add to our collection. Overall, we were very impressed with the at-home wine tasting experience.

My partner and I biked by yesterday and were thrilled to find that the winery was open, especially given that it was a Wednesday during the off season. We were the only ones doing a tasting so were given personal attention. Shoutout to Connor and George for really knowing their stuff and just chatting with us for over half an hour about food and wine and the area. This was hands down our best winery experience of the day because of the great chats! Will definitely be back and 100% recommend. Bought a bottle of the 2016 Pinot Noir!

On Aug 3, We did a wine tour of 7 wineries including this one. This winery was the most expansive for a flight, $15 for 3 tastings. The other wineries were $10 for 4 tastings. What I want to comment on is the delicious food offered at the food truck located on the premises. We were lucky it was open that day and we enjoyed amazing food, fried Parmesan eggplant and the beef Barbacoa tacos were delicious. The chef, Cara, came over to ask how the food was and after we told her how delicious it was, we chatted for a while and it was a wonderful conversation. Hope your lucky enough to eat at this place!

Not quite sure what is happening here. They are not selling wine or having tastings, but instead have a trailer in the back from an external company selling expensive mixed drinks and hot dogs? Long long waits and slow service. Save your time and try another place.

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 at the Grange.

I have photographed at The Grange on multiple occasions, for some fall minis to a proposal! Each visit The Grange and their staff have gone above and beyond. Cant wait for another chance to visit!

December 22, 2020

I was a guest at a summer wedding held here and it was truly disastrous. First, during the ceremony, they wouldnt turn off the noisemaking machines to scare away the birds from the vineyard. So the entire wedding was constantly punctuated with what sounded like shotgun blasts. Then they interrupted the ceremony to announce someone parked too close to the owners cottage and had to move their car immediately. At the dinner, there wasnt enough food for the guests to eat. The air conditioning was either broken or turned off, so everyone sweated like a pig in their formal clothes. Womens makup was running down their faces from the sweat. The Grange employee organizing the wedding dismissed pretty much all these problems with a lassez faire attitude of indifference. Worst wedding Ive ever been to.

December 22, 2020

This will be a short review Also ! This visit was during the pandemic. We entered and enjoyed the decor . We were asked if we would like to try a kit, which included our choice of ounce of wine , that we picked from a board . Kit had little 4 bottled ounce of wine and a stemmed glass . Payed $15 ea. On having our taste out under trees . When went back in we were told to remove the glass leave on counter. A kit paid for and what was inside the kit all should and was expected to be ours to take home ! Their idea of kit was wrong !! Dont blame this on Covid 19!

I loved the rustic barn at the Grange & the staff was friendly. I purchased the wine kit for $15 which contained my 4 chosen wines with a wine glass . All packaged together In a box.

You have to buy a tasting kit that includes 4 wines (no choice you have to buy those wines). It s $20 for 1 oz x 4 (plus a glass so you can serve your own wine). The server wasn t very hospitable and just handed us a box without explaining anything. Would not recommend.

This was a plan B because Closson Chase was so busy. Not at all the laid back experience I expected from the look of the place. The place looks nice but they charge 20$ for a tasting kit that comes with 4 one ounce wines and a glass to bring home. Cannot drink the wine you buy by the bottle - need to pay twice the price by the glass. There are sausages in buns to eat. Menu is only online although there are few items. A chalk board, which I suggested, would make it so much easier to view the menu.

Hey guys, of all of our wine tour, grange has been the most disappointing. 1st of all, im not a fan of being given 4 bottles with plastic and glass that are not re-usable. Its a bad business decision since they could give serving bottles and re-use them. Cremant was not offerred in tastings and by the glass. You have to buy a bottle if you want to taste it. The view is absolutely the best we had for pictures and chilling. The potentiel is there to be the best but owners need to rethink the formula. You are forced to buy the kit with a glass when all other winery serve you in glasses even with covid and give you tasting for free if you buy bottles. Go for the view, not for the wine or the experience.

★★★★

December 22, 2020

The Grange is a great example of a business that has taken the COVID lemons, and turned it into lemonade. Their creative and frankly, adorable, solution for wine tasting is to sell you a $20 tasting kit, with pre-poured mini-tasting bottles of the available wines and a small tasting glass, in a nice little gift box, and send you out to their picturesque lawn/patio area to sit on their picnic benches, enjoy the scenery, and taste the wines at your own pace. The mini-bottles have little tags (like gift tags) that talk about the origins of the wine, the tasting notes, and some observations from the winemakers. The reason this was 4 stars instead of 5 is because it would have been nice to have an option to just taste two or three, instead of all of them, and to use disposable utensils. Although the glass and bottles were cute, I dont need a tasting-size wine glass and itll end up collecting dust at the back of my kitchen at home. So A+ for creativity, but B for execution. Regardless, the staff were very friendly and helpful, even though we showed up with less than 10 minutes before official closing time. Well definitely be back!

December 22, 2020

Disappointing experience here and I usually don t write bad reviews! I had been recommended Grange by a friend who enjoyed her experience here last year after she got what I assume now, after seeing the option on the brochure that we got, was the picnic basket. I tried to call 4 times on 2 separate days for some information and my calls were never answered. I decided to drop by the winery anyways and I tried to describe what my friend had enjoyed (a sample of wines with breads and jams etc that you can take into the vineyard) and was offered a tasting box. Still not sure if the picnic option is available. Although it was on the brochure, the server I spoke to seemed very uninterested in answering any questions and never mentioned the picnic. And then, my partner went to order a sausage from the vendor they had working, asked what the options were and was told rudely there s a whole gourmet menu dude and was told to go to the online menu. I also think an online menu is unnecessary for a menu that ended up being 3 sausages, a chalkboard would be much easier. Finally on a good note, I enjoyed the Pinot noir! The wines were pretty good overall but the service was not great.

Lovely place with picnic tables outside. Their wine tasting comes in a box with four tiny bottles that look like Alice in Wonderland potions and a wine glass for keepsake that, despite being all very cute, are a bit expensive (20 dollars). I wish they had different options in the tasting, which might change according to the season. Its a fixed tasting on the box.

Staff were amazing, gave us a wonderful tour and explanation on the wine making processes. It is a very busy winery, and sometimes the actual wine your tasting may get overlooked in the grand scheme of things but its still worth it.

My experience at this winery felt unwelcoming. The girl at the counter was uninterested and it felt like we were bothering her when we asked a few questions. We ordered a picnic basket, which was quite overpriced for what you get, especially since the wine/sangria was not included. The sangria was just wine and a can of san pellegrino for an extra $10. However, the chickens made the experience a little better.

Barf. Dont go here. Especially dont drink the Rose. Our entire party wanted to vomit. We were also looking forward to the picnic baskets only to find out the person who was supposed to make them today didnt come in. There was a food pop up there and it was great! It is also extremely windy at the location. Gets pretty busy. The staff was nice. The food from the pop up was fantastic. Wish I could say the same about the wine. Very disappointing.

Very nice decor, wooden barn, surrounded by vineyards and chickens. Once inside lots of charm with old couches and wooden tables. Cute popcorn station with seasonings ($5) and tea station ($3). Wine was average. We tried the orange wine which has very particular taste, a red and the spiced wine which was a white wine... a bit unexpected. A mulled wine with red would have been amazing in the cold weather! We had read about their board games; youll find monopoly, scrabble, clue, chess, uno, etc. Lots of fruit flies indoor when we went (mid-October).

One of the few fully estate grown wineries in the County (which means they dont buy extra fruit and only make wine from their property). These wines have such character. Dog friendly winery. The tasting room is large and you can choose to stand, sit comfortably in couches and enjoy some snacks or in long rows near a hearth. The winery is in an original old barn and has these beautiful soaring ceilings and views of the vineyards. Their wines are made by a mother and daughter duo and they made a unique lineup from fresh bright white wines to complex Chardonnay and then bright medium bodied red wines. Also dont forget to try their sparkling (the Citrine is my top pick) and they also make cider. They have wines for everyone made and their wines are complex and very unique. Each one has its own story.

The Grange is a stunning spot for wine tasting or an event! We had visited a couple times for wine tasting and the big rustic barn provides a beautiful setting inside and out. The chardonnay and pinot noir are excellent, and we decided to then have our small elopement ceremony there! The grounds are beautiful for an event and our catered lunch in the loft was a perfect addition to our small gathering. Also dog friendly which our pup enjoyed. :) Highly recommend for a visit any time of year!

The wine is ok but the picnic baskets you can take out into the grape fields are worth going for. Super cute and delicious.

The tasting room is situated in a very beautiful renovated barn, nestled in the trees off a rural county road. I enjoyed one of the three wines I tasted; both the cab franc and Pinot noir were overly acidic, but the sauv blanc was really nice. It was pretty awkward when the self-titled sommelier on staff tried to convince me all Sancerres were Chardonnays... And even more so when she later corrected herself by insisting Sancerre was a grape, not a wine-region. I m all for making the wine world less esoteric, but it s always better to say I m not sure than it is to guess.

Wow beautiful. Relaxed little visit even with our children!!! (5 years and 1½) board games area for the children while we tasted our wines.... Purchase of a small picnic basket perfect to accompany our glass of wine in the sun on a picnic table. A chicken coop that was a hit with children! Pleasant people.

Wow! Amazing from start to finish. A beautiful day, the grape vines full of succulent fruit. The sunlight gilding the leaves, a sleek little black cat following us. Warmth. We tasted four wines and a cider with Laura, who was incredible. Knowledgeable and down to earth. She treated me to two whites, the Chardonnay and the Sauvignon Blanc. We also tasted the Cabernet Franc and the Pino Noir, some of the best tasting wines of all the places we visited. Really enjoyed our visit.

As many of the recent reviews highlighted, a woman with glasses served us and was also dismissive, rude and seemed overall displeased. She didnt 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 couldnt do anything because anyone could say its their birthday. What?! Are you serious?! He was nice but also said very little and seemed overwhelemed when it wasnt 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 dont even offer free sampling upon bottle purchase, so we paid for terrible service and barely an ounce per taster. Its 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 14 wineries.

Ive been to this winery twice, and had two very different experiences. My first visit in summer 2016 was very good. My mom and I loved the beautiful setting, enjoyed a picnic and had a wonderful/knowledgable employee help with our wine tasting. We were educated on their wine-making process, grapes, and the different notes in each blend of wine. I re-visited this past weekend with my boyfriend and had a poor experience. The woman with eye-glasses serving our wine tasting flight did only one thing - pour a small amount of wine in our glass. She barely spoke to us, let alone explained anything about the wine. We were simply given a menu and asked what we wanted, in a tone that was less than enthusiastic. The place was not busy at all and we were the only ones she had to serve. We walked away having one tasting flight and a glass of wine for $17... which may have been worth it if the service was even a fraction better. Some people drive a fair distance to visit these wineries, and should be given consistently good service. Needs improvement.

Beautiful place, beautiful atmosphere, great concept with the picnic basket. However, fast service with the impression of being in a hurry... We realized at the end that we could have been served in French by an available employee who kindly returned the bill to us. very expensive. We bought a bottle and a book ($70) and still got charged for the tasting.

Love everything about this winery. The historic and rustic barn, the open room for tasting and the friendly service. Their wine is excellent. I really enjoy the pinot with a dry minerally component you only find in pec. Check it out it s worth it, and pick up a picnic basket while you are there to enjoy.

Ive been trying to get to all the PEC wineries and this one really stuck out as a winner for me. First off the property itself is really well maintained and managed. Clean, rustic with tall ceilings is this old barn style building. Beautiful and relaxing. The staff where friendly and knowledgeable without any wine pretentiousness and they took the time to chat! Had a lovely Pinot Nior, a Gamay and a Riesling... could have stayed all afternoon. Worth a visit for sure.
