Just a big eh! I went and wasn’t impressed. You’re not missing much. There is about a ten min walk through the field where cranberries are grown and a very small “tasting”- which you have to pay for. You pay for a ten min walk, one frozen cranberry to eat, about about 6 very small samples of wine. The amount they pour can fit into a mouth wash cup. I’ve been to tasting much more generous and were free. Their wine and products are good but they should be ashamed to charge for that shoddy “tour”. The folks are nice tho. The guide was very nice. Just really isn’t much going on here. I’d skip the tour just go and sample their stuff and leave.

I highly recommend a visit to this farm. There are tours every day which are very informative and interesting. Amanda was an excellent tour guide. At this season, it is called a "Bog to Bottle Tour". During the fall it is a wagon tour. They really illustrate well a line from my song "Perhaps your tourist draw will keep you a-growing". There are a number of hiking trails, appealing activities such as wading in the berries (fall), and the store has an awesome selection of all things cranberry (wine, jam, juice, candles, chocolate, berries,...).

We were visitors this past weekend and our family was looking forward to a winter experience at your farm. We were hoping to skate but unfortunately the weather conditions did not cooperate, we then looked forward to the tour and wine tasting. Upon our arrival, the staff working in the store did not greet us very warmly and made us feel that we were imposing somehow. My intentions here are not to mean or rude but for your future customers sake, I would not want anyone else to be treated how we were. Trooper the dog was the only friendly staff member. We loved the location, fire and wine experience. Keep up the great work Trooper!

This is a must for all who visit Muskoka! Fantastic and informative tours available everyday. Hiking trails in summer and an ice skating trail in winter. The WINES! Oh my the wines are superb! All sweet fruit wines, the blueberry and the blueberry/cranberry blend being the best IMO. The maple cranberry desert wine was a unique find also. The staff were lovely as well. The gift shop has every amazing cranberry novelty you can think of, including cheese, fudge, jams and jellies, chutney, salad dressing, even candles and soap! THE PICS REALLY TELL IT ALL. LOL

This place is awesome. My girlfriend has gone to the cranberry festival twice and loved it. I have visited it once and plan on going back. The late night/date night skate is awesome, hopefully they do it again next year. There were so many tiki torches! Next visit will be the hiking/snowshoe trails.
