We stayed at Planters Ridge Winery for two nights in room 3. Upon arrival we received an email with the code to the room. The room was very nice and spacious, but the fact that there is nobody there to greet and welcome you is very strange and it seems like Planters Ridge is uninterested in their guests. We went upstairs with our bags a lady came in the hallway and asked if we were the travelwriter... Does that mean that the travelwriter gets an other reception then an ordinary travel person? Even at breakfast there is nobody, little notes are put on the table with your room numer. After some time while having breakfast, a staff member came in and asked if everything was ok. Checking out means getting the bags out of the room and close the door. Nobody asked how the stay was, if we enjoyed ourselves, very very impersonal. We have been travelling Nova Scotia, PEI and Cape Breton for 2,5 weeks and this was the most impersonal welcome of all the 9 accommodations we had. After arrival we had some wine tasting on the terrace and the lady who served us was very kind. The views are great, it's a nice place to relax. If you want people to stay at your place, make them feel welcome, show your face as an owner or staff member and show some kind of interest. We are paying guests after all. To us it felt like we didn't matter. This is really a setback for Planters Ridge Winery. Otherwise I would have given 5 stars.

Beautiful winery! We had a tasting and tour with Ella, she was informative and well spoken. The buildings and vineyard are beautiful and the food and wine were great. The bigger vineyards are nice however, I loved the more personalized and mellow feel of Planter’s Ridge.

Wow....wow....
The food was absolutely amazing. I had the veggie sandwich of the day with Roasted apples and cheese. I have never ever tasted a sandwich with so much flavor in it ever... it was a delicious combination of flavors with the soup which was a curry/spiced carrot and leak and that was mouth watering too...
The wine tasting was delicious and was an awesome experience... will definitely come around again...

Visited with daughter. We each had a flight and then a single glass of sparkling red with chocolate torte. Excellent!! With the view and atmosphere, Wow.

Excellent staff, beautiful view, delicious charcuterie board, interesting wine tasting (the server properly helped me choose the right ones to try). Highly recommend!

This was an OK vineyard. There was a device making weird sounds intended to scare away birds from the grapes. I understand the necessity but it was a bit of a mood killer as it kept on interrupting the conversation we were having.

Wonderful experience- we stayed overnight in Room#2 and ordered a bottle of wine and the charcuterie board. The breakfast in the morning was lovely as well. Friendly staff and good wine.

Planters winery is a hidden gem! We took family here for some wine tasting and also ordered two Charcuterie boards; one cheese & one salmon, which were beautifully presented and very tasty. The flight of wines were delicious and bottles were reasonably priced. The building itself is beautiful & has a wrap around deck with amazing views. We highly recommend this winery and we will be returning again soon.

great wine, the atmosphere was perfect—very relaxed and welcoming. It's clear the team here is passionate about what they do. We'll be ordering more online!

This isn’t my favourite vineyard and the wine wasn’t the best I’ve had, but the view is absolutely amazing. We ordered the sparkling flight and it was nice to sit, relax, and enjoy it while taking in the scenery. Worth a visit for the atmosphere alone.
You couldn’t find a nicer way to spend an afternoon. Beautiful setting, nice wines, pleasant staff and delicious food. Our first time there since moving to the valley, but definitely not our last!

It's a great hidden gem! Make sure to drop by this place for a unique wine/cider/fruit fusion! It's so worth it! Great selection, unique flavors, and you will love the owners! Thanks for the excellent experience today! I'll be back!

I love this winery. The views are stunning of the north mountain with a large covered outdoor deck. Their wines are very nice, especially Elevation, which is my favourite. Food is excellent with a small menu to choose from (no frozen food here). Only wish they had more drink items available for non wine drinkers in our group.

The service i received was top notch……the lovely young lady who served us { ESME’} was sooooo sweet knowledgeable, and took the time to speak with us on what seemed like a genuine personal level. I would leave 10 stars if i could. I wish all experiences were this pleasant…… WE JOINED THE WINE CLUB….thank you ESME’
