I joined the wine collectors club. It's free and your get to try out 6+ featured wines every quarter. This time there was an event during the pick up of featured wines and pairings with edible dietary options. The staff are great and the ambiance is inviting.

Great wineryJanelle (sp?) was a knowledgeable, friendly hostess. Wines are all good, try the Gamay (old vines).

Sipping our Malivoire wines by a beautiful lake near Mont-Tremblant National Park—absolutely wonderful! Huge thanks to Babs and the whole team for the fantastic tasting. — Selly & Tobi

We had an incredible experience at Malivoire!! The wines are outstanding, so unique, and what a cute and welcoming space. Dave led our guided tasting and he was very knowledgeable and just an all around wonderful person to speak with. We left with 3 bottles but it was very difficult to choose - will definitely be considering their wine club.

We had such a fantastic time at Malivoire Winery! Our host, Dave, made the experience truly unforgettable. With over 45 years of experience in the wine industry, he’s not only incredibly knowledgeable but also well-traveled and full of great insights about wines from around the world. He guided us through the tasting with warmth and passion, answering every question and making us feel completely at home. We enjoyed the wines so much that we brought several bottles back to New York City to remember the experience. Thank you, Dave, for making our visit so special! We highly recommend Malivoire to anyone looking for an exceptional wine tasting!

One of my favourite vineyards in Lincoln with an amazing selection of wine! Thank you for the hospitality!

Amazing spot and wine. Meghan & Mark the cheesy guy make the experience amazing! Very cool shop and patio for tasting. Tried the reds & white 👍 You should go teach the Bench folks down the street about how to treat guests 😂

Following a disappointing experience at another nearby winery, I have to say—Malivoire Winery completely turned our afternoon around and deserves every bit of praise.
From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed—not just as guests, but as a family. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely accommodating. I wish I had caught all of their names because everyone we interacted with was fantastic. The one person I do remember was (I believe) the hospitality manager—a kind brunette woman who went out of her way to ensure we felt comfortable after hearing about our earlier experience. Her kindness truly stood out and made a lasting impression on us.
The setting was beautiful, the atmosphere was relaxed, and the fact that children were not only welcomed but embraced made all the difference. It felt like a place where everyone—adults and children alike—could enjoy themselves without judgment or restriction.
The wine was exceptional, the venue was stunning, and the hospitality was second to none. As a local, I can confidently say we’ll be back—and we’ll be recommending Malivoire Winery to all our friends and family. It’s rare to find a place that gets everything right, but this one absolutely did.
Thank you to the entire Malivoire team for turning our day into something truly memorable!
Great place to stop for a wine tasting (no need to book), really excellent unique wine. Much dryer than many Ontario wines, truly fantastic. Excellent and knowledgeable staff, also child friendly (colouring books and crayons).

I was really excited when I first came across this winery—it looked super cute, and the staff were very friendly. I was looking for a venue to host a girls’ get-together the day before my wedding, and this seemed like the perfect spot. From the beginning, I was in touch with Caitlin, and I shared everything I was looking for: the event style, food options, cost, and general logistics. A few months before the event, my Maid of Honour and I visited to check out the space and try the wine. Caitlin was incredibly welcoming and took the time to walk us through everything. She mentioned that, weather permitting, we’d be out on the patio—and if not, we’d move inside (though the indoor space is mostly standing room with just a few tables).
We were really pleased after that visit and decided to book Malivoire for the event, keeping our fingers crossed for good weather (which luckily worked out, and we did enjoy the patio!).
Leading up to the day, communication via email and conversations with Caitlin were smooth and clear. However, the actual day of the event didn’t unfold quite as I had expected. When we arrived, my group and I stood near the entrance, unsure of what to do, and before we were even seated, the staff began taking our drink orders. It felt rushed and uncoordinated. I eventually asked for Caitlin, and another staff member said they would get her, but she never came out during the event. I was only told afterward that she had been in meetings. I wish that information had been shared with me earlier—it felt like a bit of a letdown not seeing or hearing from her after so much prior coordination.
Another issue was a discrepancy in the drink options. Caitlin had told me the girls could order whatever they liked—whether that was a flight, a glass of wine, or a non-alcoholic option. But when the server came to our table, she told us each person could only order one item. This was surprising and didn’t match what I’d been told. I privately brought this up with the server, expressing my concerns about how disorganized things felt. She assured me everything was organized, but I had to disagree—it didn’t feel that way at all, and unfortunately, that exchange left me a bit deflated for the rest of the event. It was disappointing to feel like not everyone was on the same page about expectations, especially after so much preparation.
One moment that really stood out (and not in a great way) was when I asked for water for the table. The server told me everyone could go get water themselves from a separate area outside. For a group of 14 people, that felt a bit unreasonable. At any other similar venue, water would typically be served to the table.
That said, one absolutely incredible part of the day was Mark from The Cheesy Guys, the food truck at Malivoire. He knocked it out of the park! The charcuterie board he put together was stunning and delicious—everything homemade, with help from his lovely wife. There was an amazing variety of cheeses, crackers, bread, fruits (fresh and dried), veggies, jams, and spreads. He even replenished the board throughout the event at no extra cost. I’d give Mark a full 5-star review. The almonds were my personal favourite—they had the most amazing homemade spice blend!

Some of the best Gamay in Canada! Super lovely people and gorgeous surroundings.

Awesome place! Took my parents, who were visiting from Brazil, to visit the Winery. We booked a tour and tasting and it was a great experience! Wine is great, they loved it, and Megan, our hostess, was amazing! She explained the history behind Malivoire, took us to visit the fields and the Winery; Like I said before, it was a great experience. We enjoyed everything and loved the wine! My parents are taking back home some bottles haha

Great wine tasting at Malivoire! Nice variety of wines, a lovely patio setting, and the “cheesy guys” snack was a delicious addition. Friendly staff made the experience even better. Highly recommend!
