I love this place. Wonderful local products like honey, maple syrup, hot sauce and garlic powder. Oh, and Terry is the best!

On July 29, 2025, my Sisters and I went to St Jacobs Market with our visiting friend from England. We had a great time at the Market and then wanted to visit the Town of St Jacobs. We visited the shops and our last stop was the The Tasting House. Terry the owner received us with warmth, kindness and professionalism. He explained the ingredients in each of our drinks and then made special drinks which were excellent. We enjoyed the visit greatly, and then realized that wraps and paninis were on offer as well. Terry made us delicious paninis, which were great with the refreshing summer drinks we were having. All the while we shared great stories about the history of the area with Terry and also learned about the creation of special cocktails and drinks. Terry is an amazing man, and his Tasting House is a must visit when you visit St Jacobs. We look forward to visiting Terry and his wonderful Tasting House again. Thank you Terry!

Hidden gem!! We popped in here this afternoon with some friends just to window shop and ended up staying much longer than anticipated just chatting with the owner, Terry.
We got to taste test some super unique drinks - some of which were the most delicious I've ever had! (10/10 recommend the Warheads Blue Raspberry Liquor)
If you get the chance to pop in, you won't be leaving empty handed!
Incredible service, incredible drinks, incredible owner.
Thanks for being the highlight of our afternoon! :)

We stopped by to get smoothies on a hot summer day. We thought a smoothie was a beverage made by puréeing froots, vegetables, berries with a liquid base (milk , juice, etc.). But we were served tap water with crushed ice and a teaspoon of syrup...

I tried Terry's recipe for mulled wine and it was delicious! I added a bit more sugar as it was a tad tart for me (great if you don't like it too sweet, though). It's definitely my go-to from now on. Can't wait to try it in person! He knows his drinks.

This little place is amazing and is well worth the visit. We poked our head in for a quick, unassuming visit and stayed for over an hour. The owner is interesting, charismatic and informative. Try the Moondance and the Sangria. Get some ideas for mixed drink too.We bought some great pickled beans, horseradish and some smoked apple mustard. All are amazing. We also bought some Moondance.Highly recommended.

I've been there 3 times and it has become as an attraction in st Jacobs town.
Definately it's one of our stops when we go there.
The owner is a nice and welcoming person, knowable about the products. Even we went there last year, he remembered me as the mexican family.
Menu is small but well selected.
I wish there are more tables to sit.
The Tasting House is a must to visit in St. Jacobs.

Cute shop. Lots of products overlapping though.Was a little disappointed that we couldn't sample the hot sauces, was given some weird excuse that "Public Health won't allow", though there use to be a hotsauce shop around the corner (that wasn't open that long holiday weekend we visited) that offered sampling of hot sauces.The Tasting House name is somewhat confusing now to my partner and I, I guess it's just for alcohol drinks :(
