It is really wonderful eating outdoors at this winery. I enjoyed a good glass of Ortega. The fries my husband ordered were top notch. Our guests’ Reuben sandwiches looked very good. The one let down was the open faced chicken sandwich. I ordered it because the description said there would be red wine cranberries. Instead there were a few whole green grapes on top. It was bland and unexciting. Disappointing.

Thank you for leaving a review. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed our outdoor patio.
Your feedback on the open-faced chicken sandwich is valuable, and it's important for the restaurant to know when a dish doesn't meet expectations.
We appreciate your feedback and hope to have the opportunity to serve you again in the future.
Best regards,

To me, Grand Pre was among the nicest wineries in the Annapolis Valley. The wines offered were thoughtful produced and of excellent quality. Several types of tastings are available; my husband tried the red wines and I the white. Our favorites were the L'Acadie Blanc, Castle and Field blend. We were pleased with the tastings and our server was very nice. I appreciate that the tasting notes include the variety of grape, especially when the wine is a blend. The back label on the bottles also contains detailed information. I thought the prices for tastings were high, though quite reasonable for bottles. The facility is lovely and includes an inn and restaurant. If you have mobility issues, call upon arrival and they can direct you to appropriate parking. The hill from the parking lot is not an option for many.

For my wife's birthday, we made coming here an event. We enjoyed wine tasting, a fabulous dinner, and stayed overnight in the inn. We took a walk in the rain through the vineyard up to the viewpoint. All in all, a romantic and uber pleasant experience. Everyone we encountered was really nice. The wines are good, distinctive, certainly. Wait staff at the restaurant were fun to chat with.

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.

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!
