Pelee Island Winery Pavilion

They do not recognize Open Table. Food options were poor and subject to what was available at the time of order. Staff seemed to try and work with us but the experience was a disappointment. Not recommended.

We arrived for our reservation, booked through OpenTable, only to be told they no longer use the platform. No one greeted us on arrival, and we were directed to seat ourselves outside. It took quite some time before anyone brought menus — and only food menus at that. When we asked for a beverage menu, we were brought wine lists, but told we had to go back inside to order any wine or tastings ourselves. Despite being billed as a restaurant, there were no non-alcoholic beverage options other than tap water — not ideal for designated drivers or guests who don't drink alcohol. The wine tasting experience lacked any guidance or explanation, and staff did not seem knowledgeable about the wines. While the salad was good, the sandwich was dry, with minimal salmon and stale focaccia. Overall, this felt like a DIY experience at full-service restaurant prices. As locals from the Niagara wine region who frequent Ontario wineries, this was easily one of the most disappointing visits we've had.

Food was pretty solid, the potato salad was pretty bonkers, loved it! The sandwiches hit the spot! My mates had the local wine and they loved it.

It's unfortunate but I have been there years before and it was always good to, but now it is run down, the vineyard and grounds are in terrible shape. Sad to see.

We loved the winery and they had nice walking trails. The area was perfect for our dog too, which slept the entire time we were there.

People working were lovely. They need to have a service area that sells the wine uncorked . Really silly to have a winery and you cant buy a bottle to take home .

Allowed me to make a reservation when it was closed. I even called to confirm they were open and was told they were and they were not. On a rainy cold day, stranded on the island with nothing to do. I confirmed correct location as well. Very disappointing

Although we were unable to do the tour due to staff shortage, the manager was eager to please and did a fabulous job of making things right! Great staff, very helpful, very patient! Was a very fun afternoon!

Understandably it was the end of the season so only a few staff for many tables but they did a bang up job. The weather and ambience made the weight worthwhile.

Stay Away! We organized our anniversary weekend around our pre booked winery tour. When we arrived, we were informed that they do not do tours, and Open Table wasn't supposed to book anything foe the winery pavillion. We proceeded to order tastings and food from a very rude server, and paid far more than at wineries on the mainland. They also only sell open bottles of wine to take home. Will definitely not return. Try the many beautiful wineries in the Kingsville / Harrow area for superior service and products at a more reasonable price.

Was nervous before arriving after reading lots of reviews about terrible experiences with the service here. Everything mentioned came through with our visit as well. We had a tour for 4 people booked for noon. When we arrived there was a large line of people waiting to order a drink at the bar. Once I made it to the front, I told Ethan we had a tour booked. He told me that they only do tours for at least 6-8 people and to come back another time. Other people overheard and said they would enjoy the tour also, which gave us plenty of people to meet the minimum. This only made him more upset and he started to raise his voice telling me they are very understaffed, a wedding is happening in the afternoon and he still won't take us on the tour we booked even after meeting the minimum number of people. I called him out on his lie to me and asked why he told me about the minimum for the tour if he wasn't going to do it either way. He did not like that and was speechless. Ethan needs to find a new job he enjoys, he was rude and unprofessional. When you work at a place that takes 1.5 hour ferry to get to, you don't just tell someone that has booked a tour to come back because you don't want to do it as if that's only a minor inconvenience. We did try some wine, but wish I hadn't. Some of the food was good; however if you are going here for the wine or the tour I'd suggest passing. If there were more options on the island this place would be closed, unfortunately lack of competition allows it to operate this way and remain open.

Are the actual experience at the Pelee Island pavilion was wonderful. The staff were helpful, courteous, and very speedy. However, calling in advance, inquiring about booking the VIP tour experience was awful. The staff member I spoke with, was very rude, short, and overall dismissive. The only time his tone was at all friendly was when he was saying goodbye.

Beautiful Property, Excellent Service by staff , very Knowledgeable and friendly.

That said extremely disappointing that the Island Winery charges the premium Wine tasting price of $30.00 and a 15% credit of glass or Bottle that must be opened and drank there. If you visit the Main Land Winery there is 2 prices of $20 and $30 plus a $15.00 credit towards a same day purchase of a bottle . I do not like being taken advantage of... I know there is Over Head and limited visiting time for their Island Winery but up charging because it's a Tourist attraction is a little much. I won't be back and unfortunately I won't purchase from their Main Land Winery do to this .

Quite place, nice people, great for biking.

Stopped by on a Monday afternoon. Slow to get service. Ordered the apple and blue cheese flatbread. It arrived and we were given no plates and no napkins. No one checked in on us so we couldn't ask for anything. There were no apples on the flatbread so overwhelmed by blue cheese. You have to pay and tip when you order so no lowering the tip for poor service. Nice outdoor setting but otherwise not much to recommend it.
