We dropped in at Trail estates - which is right next to the awesome Millenium Trail cycle path - much in need of a sampling of wine. We were not disappointed. Both the reds and whites we sampled were excellent - as was the service. Can’t wait to come back and try more from their amazing cellar selections.

Disappointed with this stop. Although their sign out front said tasting bar open, we were told that they don't do tastings on Friday. The only option was to buy an expensive glass of wine. We sat outside for a while with our dog and not one of the staff from the winery even came out to ask how we were enjoying the wine. Lack of customer service and misleading signage.

We had wine tastings at Trail Estate. 3 glasses out of 6 were dirty with red wine and lipstick and the blond lady at the bar almost refused to change them for clean ones. We don’t recommend this touristic place..

Hi Pamm, Sorry this happened to you. Feel free to contact me directly at info@trailestate.com as this clearly isn't what we aim for. Hope you enjoyed the rest of your visit!

We came here for a tasting because a friend had brought one of their wines to dinner at our place, and we loved it. We thoroughly enjoyed our tasting, and Trail Estates makes some seriously great wine. We could not leave without buying some :)

Coming to the county for a wine tasting is overwhelming, there are more than 40 wineries around! If you are looking for a special experience I’d suggest Trail Estates. They are creative with their wines, and it shows. The staff are knowledgeable and are more than happy to sit with you and really go into detail about the wine. This winery, in my opinion, really shows what the county has to offer. I tried their Pét-Nat, and it blew me away. It’s a more expensive winery, but it’s 100% worth it.

We went one Saturday and went to 9 wineries in the area. To be honest this wasn’t one of my favorites. We did end up buying 4 bottles of wine, so we didn’t have to pay the tasting fee. It is a small winery, and as far as I remember, they don’t use any of their own grapes yet, as they are a new estate.

Trail Estate has excellent high quality wine. We stop at this winery every time we are in PEC. The owner is very friendly and the property is beautiful.

My husband and I stayed on the AirBnB which is literally right beside the tasting room and it was amazing! Highly recommend if you can get a reservation. We walked over to the beautiful modern tasting room and enjoyed many lovely wines particularly the Chardonnay and Cab Franc. This winery has more options then others in the area and were not sold out of everything (although they were sold out of a few). The service is really good and they can serve you your tastings on their outdoor space too if you prefer. The tastings are 4/$8 but waived with 3 bottles or if you have a Visa Infinite card. Side note; another reviewer mentioned that the roads are terrible and I would have to disagree. Yes, they are not paved but if you're driving it's not a big deal.
