Sip, Savour, and Celebrate: A Taste of Prince Edward County Guide

Welcome to Waupoos Estates Winery & Cider Company, Prince Edward County's pioneering winery! Nestled amidst rolling hills and overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Ontario, Waupoos Estates offers a delightful escape for wine and cider enthusiasts alike. More than just a winery, it's a complete sensory experience, blending rustic charm with sophisticated flavours. Prepare to be captivated by the picturesque scenery, the warm hospitality, and, of course, the exceptional beverages. Waupoos Estates boasts a rich history, being the first winery established in Prince Edward County. The land, once a thriving apple orchard, was transformed in the early 1990s by the Nyman family, who envisioned a future where vinifera grapes could flourish in this unique microclimate. Their pioneering spirit and dedication to quality have paved the way for the County's now-renowned wine region. Beyond the vines, the estate also features a charming farm market, a delightful restaurant, and even a petting zoo, making it a perfect destination for families and groups. A visit to Waupoos Estates is an invitation to indulge. Take a guided tour of the vineyard and learn about the winemaking process from grape to glass. Participate in a tasting session, sampling their award-winning wines, from crisp whites to robust reds, and their refreshing ciders. Enjoy a delicious lunch or dinner at the Gazebo Restaurant, featuring locally sourced ingredients and perfectly paired wines. Browse the farm market for artisanal cheeses, jams, and other County delicacies. And for the little ones (and the young at heart), the petting zoo offers a chance to get up close and personal with friendly farm animals. Don't forget to pick up a bottle (or two!) of your favourite wine or cider to take home and relive the Waupoos Estates experience. The County is known for its culinary scene, and Waupoos Estates is no exception. The Gazebo Restaurant offers a farm-to-table experience, showcasing the best of local produce and ingredients.
