We recently visited Closson Chase for wine tasting and lunch at Bantam Farmhouse. The wines offered the strongest possible recommendation for the results the Hillier Township terroir offers. The experience convinced us that a wine club membership was a must with several benefits. The lunch menu is varied and the watermelon soup, in particular, encourages return visits. The chef very kindly shared the soup recipe and I’ve been able to make it for family and friends with consistent praise. One of the member benefits is an opportunity for a guided tour of The Ridge winemaking facility with Closson Chase’s head winemaker Keith Tyers. His 24 years with the winery made for a highly informative, insightful and often amusing hour of conversation and tasting some truly remarkable chardonnay and pinot noir vintages. Any future visit to Prince Edward County with family and friends will certainly include a stop at Closson Chase where the staff are both friendly and helpful. We are now looking forward with anticipation to the arrival of our first wine club shipment.

Wonderful place! Charming, a beautiful purple farmhouse, beautifully furnished. A person who introduces us to wines with strands of history which makes everything even more interesting. The lady even brought us drawings to occupy the children with popcicles. Very good wines, a very nice experience!

Excellent wine tasting experience. It was pouring rain, so we could not enjoy the outdoor garden tables, but stayed inside the renovated barn. Our server was delightful and friendly, and the wine tastings very reasonably priced for the quality. The selection of snacks was excellent, especially given a vegetarian in our group (more is available at the adjoining restaurant). We were not rushed in the least, and our servers had a good mix of being willing to provide information but not hover. Recommend,
