We came to sit around the fire with a glass of wine. Told they were busy which is fair so no time to light the fire so pretty disappointed
The wines are hit and miss. The hit are the wines with grapes from Niagara and the miss are the wines with grapes grown locally - lack of any flavour.
Nice people. Nice local. Better in summer

We’ve been to quite a few wineries but this certainly stands out as one of the best. Definitely recommend the tour. It allows you to drink wine straight from the barrels which I thought was a pretty unique experience. It’s so great to see the full property, learn about the wines and the history of this winery (one of the first in the area). The food is also really great at Norman. We had a few pizzas and the kale salad - and couldn’t stop talking about both.

We stopped off at this winery for a late lunch hike visiting the area and as it came recommended by a friend who lives in PE county. We enjoyed the wood oven pizza and salads. Everything so delicious and fresh and service was great. Beautiful grounds and surroundings. Met Norm briefly as he made his rounds of the dining tables. My friend and I also did a tasting. I did not particularly care for the wine but overall we had a lovely time here.

We arrived at Norman Hardie for tastings and lunch. We had the pleasure of meeting Luciano who made our tastings an unforgettable experience. He was informative and educational about the wine and made the whole experience delightfully entertaining. Our group had English, French and Italian speaking and Luciano mastered all the languages without losing a beat.
We enjoyed all of the wines and made a significant purchase as a result. Lunch afterwards was just the dessert to the main course with Luciano. Grazie. La Ciociara.

Setting, style, quality, hospitality! Just an incredible experience at Norman Hardie yesterday for our 10th anniversary where we came on our honeymoon. We had the pleasure of meeting with Norm for quick catch up after it being a couple of years since our last visit! Always so generous and hospitable and I love how frank he is!
The oyster bar seating in the sun was perfect and our server, the server manager, tasting bar host and all staff were all so inviting and helpful.
Our tasting with Luciano was easily the most entertaining as well as educating tasting I have experience! So hilarious, we were by chance matched with some other couples from Gatineau, Toronto and Calgary and we all enjoyed many laughs with great wines and comparisons of style, vintage, terroir and grape. If I could give more than a 5 star rating, I would!
Always great to come back to this founding, iconic vineyard!

Our tasting with Luciano was a great, informative, educational and delicious experience. The food afterwards was also delicious. Trout salad is a must.

Luciano, Luciano, Luciano. Definitely a game changer in the tasting we did. French speaking and Italian he made our experience unforgettable. Every other winery we did after Luciano did not stand a chance. Oh! The wine was great also. Great outdoor eating spaces where dogs are welcome. Did not eat there however the food looked delicious.

Is this closer to Montreal or Toronto? We are staying 2 days in Toronto & 4 days in Montreal. From where is the best place to drive Toronto or Montreal?

When you recommend this winery so confidently I was eager to see what other PEC wineries you had reviewed. I did not find any other reviews. I know Norman Hardie staff speak well of neighbouring wineries like Rosehall, Karlo, and Casa-Dea, and the County is producing excellent wines at many other wineries, like Long Dog, Devil's Wishbone, Exultet, the Old Third, Hubb's Creek, Closson Chase... Which ones did you (Jamie) visit? Comments?

I have visited many; in the like to love column is:
Karhlo (miss Richard though)
The Old Third
Terra Cello rustic with great pizza
Hinterland for bubbly and oysters
Stayners for the charm
Exultet
Rosehall for the Pixie wine
Unfortunately there are a number that are only happy with customers with deep pockets, expensive cars and snotty attitudes
There are also a number that are perhaps best known for their bad service
