Amazing wineries in Norfolk County

Burning Kiln Winery

Just outside of Turkey Point, Burning Kiln Winery’s scenic vineyards surround the winery, tasting room and inviting patio with red umbrellas, twinkling string lights and communal firepit. It’s the ideal destination for a wine excursion where you can learn all about different varietals, see how the wine is made, and even stay the night in the three-bedroom onsite farmhouse built in 1865.

Burning Kiln offers guided tours and tasting flights, as well as food and wine by the glass to enjoy at Canned Heat, the winery’s seasonal patio eatery.

Bonnieheath Estate Lavender & Winery

Enjoy fine wine or cider, as well as the healing aroma of lavender at Bonnieheath Estate, a 52 hectare farm featuring vineyards, lavender fields and wild, natural areas. You’d think you’ve been whisked away to Provence as you sip on a glass of full-bodied Marquette and roam among the rows of lavender.

The farm’s history dates back to the early 1800s and produced tobacco for many years before transforming into one of Ontario’s favourite spots for artisan wine.

Enjoy a tasting pairing wine and cheese samples or consider their cocktail workshop to expand your repertoire of drinks. And don’t forget to visit the pick-your-own blueberry patch during harvest season.
