We had a personalized tasting with Juan that was excellent. He knows so much about wine and we learned a lot about wine and food pairings. Our friends who don’t have extensive knowledge about wines loved their visit. Strewn is our favorite winery for Juan and it’s wines expertly crafted by their wine maker Marc Bradshaw.

I gave a 4* rating because of our restaurant experience. We had wanted to taste at Strewn for some time as we like some of their wines but this was our first opportunity. We had booked lunch at the restaurant which was very good. Staff were busy but we felt well looked after and enjoyed our meals. We paid for our tasting ( twice what I’ve paid inn the past but it was refunded with purchase) and were surprised to find that it was a non refundable charge, despite purchasing several bottles of wine. The tasting experience with Sherri-Lynn was disorganized and I felt lacked background knowledge. Every wine was “one of their best selling wines”but with little else to distinguish the particular varietal. She kept track of our comments and when we went to shop for wine we were reminded of the comments that we made so as to encourage us to purchase. We did purchase at least 6 bottles of wine, 2 of which were the American Oak Chardonnay. Sherri-Lynn insisted on packing up the bottles for us. When we returned home we discovered that she had packed the Canadian Oaked Chard…. Emails to both Customer Service and to the Admin resulted in no response. Not impressed. By the way: We tasted at Tawse and 13th St the following day for no charge at all. Highly recommend both for both the wine and the tasting experience.

We came in a little late in the afternoon but were still welcomed in for a tasting. Juan was an excellent host. Our group loved how he “ interviewed “ each of us to find out our wine preferences and then chose wines for us to try. We all loved his choices for us and together we ordered 4 cases. Excellent winery, wines and service. Must see in the Niagra region.
