"We walked through the little shop, with wine themed shirts, hats, and more! We sat down at the "Sun Patio" Nice stone wall and great view of Vineland, Vineyards, And Lake Ontario, From the top of the Niagara Escarpment. Quickly Seated, Quickly Ordered our drinks. The Drinks Came Quickly as well. Prices Were Reasonable on the menu likewise the drinks. Normal menu size for Winery, but the options all seemed Yummy😋. Our Food came with in 10-15 minutes, tasted very top-notch. Only thing is not much choice for young kids. I'm 11 but most stuff is suitable for me. We would come back if we were in the area again! -Sage the Hyde Park Review Team!"
