There were only 3 local wineries in attendence and the owners and winemakers were not even pouring their own product. It was someone hired thru the property managment. I thought the whole idea of these events was to be able to taste the wines produced locally and talk to the people that made them not taste wines that you can purchase any day of the week at the LCBO. I can promise you that I will not be returning next year!!There are many more events that happen in our area that give the local wineries that support that they deserve!

This is an old decomissioned GM transmission plant. Last year the building still had that plant smell, (oil / transmission fuild) and it was too cold in there. Not ideal when sniffing a glass of wine. Another issue was the temperature, it was too cold inside the building. Hopefully these problems have been addressed.
