"I love this place!! Really nice inside and outside. Sitting on the Muskoka chair, looking over the winery and having amazing wine and charcuterie was little vacation for us.
The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed their wine a lot especially I liked the Rose. We purchased some bottles. We will come back again."

"Southbrook is a charming winery with a really heavy focus on sustainability and an easygoing tasting experience alongside a mini farmers market that features produce and honey all grown and farmed right on property. That’s biodiversity right there and it no doubt helps the soil and the wine in some small part.
The wines are priced well and are generally approachable and unpretentious. The interior is cool and comfy in the summer and service isn’t pushy. Great to see all around. You can also order snacks with the wines.
Everything is flat and easy to access and if it weren’t so hot in summer we’d likely have gone for the full vineyard tour. Excited to return in cooler months.
They boast an orange wine which is a bit more off the beaten path and we do recommend that if you’re into something a bit different."

"We stumbled upon a delightful, eco-conscious winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake offering an exceptional tasting menu and a food menu that they catered thoughtfully to our vegetarian needs. The wines were wonderful—especially the Riesling, Chardonnay, and framboise—which quickly became favorites. A gentle breeze, friendly staff, and carefully curated music created the perfect ambiance. It turned out to be a truly beautiful day to enjoy wine outdoors in great company."
