So looking forward to experiencing the winery and perhaps dinner for our 52nd wedding anniversary,only to find a steep hill. We were told by staff that one of us could be dropped off at the Inn entrance but the car would have to be parked at the bottom of the hill. Disappointed.

Sorry to hear that this was your experience.
We don't usually ask that guests park at the bottom of the hill after dropping somebody off in the courtyard. There is room on the same level by the garages to park a car. Unfortunately, there is not much we can do about being located on top of the hill, but we will make sure that all our staff knows about the parking area we keep available for mobility-challenged guests.
We appreciate your feedback.

Hands down our favorite spot to suggest to wedding clients. Brunch, lunch, dinner, private dining, and now, accommodations. The rooms at the Inn at Grand Pre are beautiful, the staff are welcoming and knowledgeable, and no detail is overlooked. We sent people here all the time and love hearing how thrilled they are with their experience! Thank you!

Stopped at Le Caveau Restaurant for lunch, before heading to the airport. The charcuteric board and local wine were both superb ! This is a lovely restaurant and definitely worth the stop. The staff are welcoming and the food is wonderful.

Even though they were hosting a wedding, when our wine tour bus arrived, they had our group organized in a large tent, a very knowledgeable staff member to explain the wines and answer questions and a well marked site to explore. There was access by a short walk to the UNESCO Grand Pre heritage site through the vineyards. By far the best experience on our tour and our purchases reflected that. We sampled two wines and our small plate was a delicious pasta with seafood (smoked trout, salmon and lobster). I recommend a visit to this place.

We stayed at the Inn at Domaine de Grand Pre for our Anniversary. The room was beautiful, the service was excellent, as was our meal at Le Caveau. We enjoyed trying many of their wines with our meal. We loved the convenience of staying on-site and eating at the vineyard. A great way to celebrate a special occasion.

Great stop with a nice tasting room. Small museum in the lower level. Apple cream liquor was the favourite for the group.

It was a pleasure to visit this winery. We liked the showroom, the wines we tasted were nice. I really enjoyed the little museum in the basement. Totally worth to visit.

We visited this winery for tasting and a fixed menu lunch. The restaurant is next to the winery. The food was good (average rating). I had the fish, and wife had the beef. The fish was over cooked and dry. The beef was much better and had a nice gravy.

Great tour here, steep little walk up a hill to get there though. Wines were okay, but the apple cream liquor was very good. Had lunch at their restaurant - Le Caveau, really good charcuterie board, had the mussels as well, but we did not care for those. Nice outdoor seating surrounded by greenery and the waiter was very good.

As we will be driving in ourselves and not via tour, is there an option to only go for the guided tour without the wine tasting?

How far are you from Sackville? I am dropping my daughter off for Uni and would be flying back to Seattle from Halifax.
Cacilia S
Grand Pre, Canada
Hello, we are about 45 minutes from Sackville. It takes about 50 min to 1 hour to get to airport from our place, depending on traffic. There is a bit of construction going on the 101 - so depending on when you are driving to the valley, you may be stuck in traffic.
We hope you can make it to visit us! Safe travels!
