New favourite Winery!
Oct. 2023 • Couples
Have many wine club memberships in Niagara.
New favourite Winery .
Some wines are available in the LCBO tried the mixed flight.
All the wines were amazing bought the ones that you can’t find the LCBO.
Hubby tried Bayside beer and loved it. Also tried the chilling Dylan and was absolutely in love with it so we did buy a bottle of that for him.
Definitely worth a visit!
They were setting up for a wedding today-absolutely perfect place for a wedding.

We so enjoyed our flights and charcuterie board. The service was very friendly and helpful for us inexperienced travellers. The building is stunning and the grounds were lovely. We were able to find wines to take home (hooray) and we would definitely come visit again if in the area.

This winery was very friendly with a great atmosphere and great wine. They are one of the only wineries in the area that have Wi-Fi which was great to use when setting up reservations for your next visit.

Lovely way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon
Aug. 2022
We visited the facility on a hot and sunny Sunday afternoon, quite by accident. We were driving by and saw the beautiful building and decided to stop in. We left almost 3 hours later.
We enjoyed all aspects of our visit. We did a wine tasting - 4 white & 4 red along with a meat & cheese board which was superb. Went perfectly with the wine we sampled.
We then went outside to listen to a great local entertainer, who sang & played his guitar, non-stop for 2 hours. It was a perfect location for such an activity.
We walked around the grounds which are positioned perfectly with an outstanding view and breeze from the lake.
We found the staff friendly and knowledgeable and very nice to deal with.
We ended up buying 3 bottles of wine, which when we entered, we had no intention of doing. {we especially like the visual and the taste of the special sea glass bottles}.
We are not from this area but frequent it often as we quite like it here. We will definitely visit again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sprucewood Shores Estate Winery to any friends coming to this area of S.W. Ontario

Wedding venue
Jul. 2022
Arrived to a Wedding photo shoot. The wedding party and guests were wandering everywhere. It is a lovely venue with the impressive stone winery, spacious grounds with a picturesque pond and a beach front location. They boast it is the only such location in the province.

There has been a lot of criticism regarding staff. To me, they seemed distracted maybe because their attention was divided between the wedding reception preparation and the visitors to the winery. Certainly their attention was lacking.

They gave us only 2 options in wine flights- red or red/ white. There is virtually no choice. You get 4 small servings for $10. At Pelee Island, tasting was free whether you bought something or not.

The kids got Pellegrino and the coolest Charcuterie cones. The paper cone inside a wine glass contained a bread stick, pepperette, cherry tomatoes, grapes, a date, an olive all on top of a serving of cashews. Cost was $10 + tax. They put the wine on a tray and suggested we go down to the beach. It is home to flocks of geese so be careful where you put your feet!!

I didn’t like any of their wines well enough to purchase which is perhaps why they charge for tasting!

Great discovery

We stopped at this family run winery on the Lake Erie shore to enjoy the views and try out their wines. What a beautiful spot, and the wine was excellent.

Horrible (and I NEVER make reviews)
May 2022 • Business
From during the beginning of the pandemic to after the lockdown has been lifted have I still yet to have a great experience with Sprucewood. Their Staff are unwelcoming (trying to order something and they rather be on their phone the entire time while your trying to enjoy the experience of wine tasting) we ordered a cheese board and since they were on the phone the entire time they “forgot” to get it.

Order a box of wine over 100$ goes missing and had to reach out a couple times to finally get my wine (took about a month). One bottle of Wine was broken when finally received and they forgot to include something in the box they wouldn’t even ship it had to get a family member to pick it up and ship it since we lived further away.

Don’t waste your time planning a wedding here. Yes it’s beautiful but the experience is ATROCIOUS you want to change something because a family member passed away or maybe something in your life came up they don’t care it’s all about the money and it always will be. Maybe you want to change something about your wedding that cost $$$ maybe during a pandemic you can only have it outside and not inside well you have to pay more $$$ just to have it outside.
DISGUSTING!


Say goodbye to your down deposit and get ready to through some more green their way!

Great winery find — dog-friendly too.
Nov. 2021 • Solo
What a lovely afternoon. Arrived at a pretty empty winery (it’s late November on a weekday) to try a flight of wines and had an utterly fantastic afternoon.

First, Robin (the host) was beyond friendly in her hospitality. She was very interested in making sure I had a good experience, but beyond that, was just genuinely friendly and interested in good conversation about wine. She also was super kind to my dog. (They sell their own doggie treats here!)

Kudos for their Covid precautions. That was much appreciated. Ended up spending close to 2 hours conversing with Robin and a gentleman who came in and sat at the table next to me. What a great afternoon.

The wines were wonderful. I did a flight of reds, and was most interested in the Pinot Noir —- it did t disappoint. It was excellent.

I will add that the setting of the winery is wonderful, right along the shores of Lake Erie. The weather obscured the views, but it was still gorgeous.

Meh!! disappointing
Oct. 2021
Nice building and they have a nice enough venue. Staff seemed somewhat stuffy. Disappointed in the quality of the wines , We tried the better of their reserves. best park of the tasting was that we sat on the beach . Left empty handed on this one .

Rude Staff
Aug. 2021
On August 9, 2021, my daughter visited Sprucewood for a wine experience for her 22nd birthday. She did some samplings and purchased a bottle. She asked if they had any Birthday Specials and they responded with "it's in front of you" referring to her wine and "You can go to Starbucks if you are looking for a special". This is a shocking and downright RUDE response!! A "Happy Birthday" from the staff might have been nice. I have also visited here on a separate occasion with friends and found the staff to be far from welcoming. Will NOT be returning here with my friends or family!! VERY UNKIND STAFF!!
