Tawse Winery

“Elegant wines that nod to Burgundy, yet here we are in Ontario! What a line-up: bone dry pink Spark that rivals Crémant. Complex rieslings w stone fruit underlay, Robyn’s Block Chard has incredible structure. A Cab Franc that will make you fall in love w Cab Franc. Close w the Tintern Pinot Noir. Thank you to Donatella for a skillful tasting and to Somm Lafleur.”

“I actually adore this winery. I’ve been to many in the region and although the tastings may be very casual on busy days, the ambiance of the wine garden, and the local goats in the field is just so calm and special. The 2012 Spark Sparkling Chardonnay is so lovely if you like very traditional method blanc de blanc. 11 years on the lees. I’ve always felt calm here.”

“My son and I visited Tawse on a beautiful sunny and breezy Sunday on the May long weekend. Equally warm and welcoming was service of our server Donatella who brought out a selection (tasting flight)of white,sparkling, rosé, and red wine.This winery is a delight for the eyes and the palette. It’s well worth the visit!”

“From the moment I pulled up to Tawse Winery, I knew I was in for something special. The property is spotless — polished, clean, and absolutely stunning. Rolling views of the vineyard stretch out in every direction like something out of a movie. It’s the kind of place where you just stop for a second and think: wow… life is pretty damn good. And then there was Meygan — our server and the true MVP of the day. Funny, relaxed, and the very definition of easygoing. She made everything feel natural and enjoyable, like hanging out with that one cool friend who just gets you. Even though this place has a real high-end vibe, she never once made me feel out of place. I’m a blue-collar person — definitely not fancy — but they treated me like a VIP from the second I stepped through the door. Now… the wine. Imagine the best day of your life — sunny skies, laughs, everything going absolutely perfect — mix all that together, pour it into a glass, and send it down the hatch. That is what this wine tasted like. Hands down, the best wine I’ve ever had in my entire life. It just slaps you right in the mouth with goodness, lol. I didn’t just grab a bottle on the way out — I bought four, because there was no chance I was leaving without bringing that magic home with me. The whole experience felt high-class but still totally welcoming, like a place you could go with friends or bring family and feel proud showing it off. And honestly? I can’t wait to come back again in the summer months because I already know it’s going to be even better. Sitting out in the warm weather with those views and that atmosphere — that’s going to be next-level perfect. Tawse Winery — best winery on the tour. Hands down. Already planning my next visit. 🍷🔥”

“They do mostly non ice wines but their Riesling ice wine was amazing (smooth, sweet, can barely taste the alcohol). The discovery pass included a tasing of the ice wine and a really good blue cheese on top of a crunchy crostini bread. The store is beautiful and modern yet historic and massive with high ceilings. Great friendly staff who were warm and inviting. Loved the wine and experience and pairing. Owners of this place also own Red Stone Winery. And they are adjacent to a private residence which is very classy w beautiful hardwood and smooth floors … I would love to live here too!”
