Wineries

The owner and service are amazing. The wine is great! Dark Star is our favorite!

Less than impressed!! I love fruit wines and hadn’t been in a while thought I’d give it a go...zero customer service, no talking up the wines or encouraging a tasting...I had to do that. Enjoyed the Cuvée from Willamette Valley but at 35.00 a bottle!! Yikes!! This winery should be more than it is...Maybe an organized tasting, a little face lift, a tour...show some pride in the product!! Its too bad because the wines can sell themselves!!

Larry was awesome and the wines were great! This was a little hidden treasure. I'm pretty sure they are only open on Sundays, so maybe call before you go. But somehow they are making really good wines and it was a pleasure to spend time talking with Larry as we tasted. We ended up buying 2 cases! Now we have to go back since it's almost all gone... They have reds and whites, all impressive...

Worst Chinese food i've ever had in my life !! This establishment really need some good chefs. Take a risk if you're willing to with this place.

Overly impressive

Great tasting selection but the blue berry wine is my favorite especially mixed with champagne

So many great wines that it was really hard to choose just one. And look at that view!

I come for the delicious wine but I stay for the amazing staff. Yesteday I visited Wind Rose for their moscato release. Their new moscato was delicious. Even though they were pretty busy the service remained fanastic. I ordered the side of olives and they were simply amazing. The prices of the wine tastings were cheap and their foods are reasonable priced as well. One Saturdays you can get a growler of beer for $10!

This is one of the older winery's in Walla Walla ,Really has a nice tasting room with a gift shop.I think their Cab is one of the best in the country.

Extremely knowledgeable, fantastic choices, and a pleasant shopping experience.

Top notch product selection (best wine selection in the St. Albert EASILY), the most knowledgeable staff I've ever seen, and three cute doggies!

Great selection & knowledgeable staff. Would try here for unique beer and cider. Love it.

We had a great experience here. I purchased a winery tour from Groupon, they do tours even through the winter. Winter tours involve a complete explanation of the wine making process from picking the fruit to bottling the wine. Each step and the tools involved are explained along the way. There is a very organic flow of how the presentation comes together, like you're being sped through the entire process, which takes months. The winter tour also goes into depth over the science behind how the wine comes together, the choices they made as a "cottage winery" and his they came to produce such a nice product. They will only produce 4 wines in as many bottles as the harvested fruit will make, they have to use whatever they can grow on their land and they keep all of their ingredients and processes as simple as possible to retain the flavor of the fruit in their wines. Seems simple but it's very cleverly thought out in its own complicated way. I'd any part of their process changed they wouldn't be able to make the wines they make, it's that simple. "The Barb" is a rhubarb red wine. Very light in body and flavorful. The colour resembles a rosé, it has a light finish with the slight bitterness of rhubarb on the tongue. That was our first sample. "The Ruby" is a rhubarb strawberry red that feels very substantial. Strawberry smells fill the room when you're holding a glass and there's a crisp bite to this wine with a sweet strawberry finish. It leaves you wanting another sip, making this wine an insidious guest at your next party that wants to stay and cause trouble ;). This was my favorite. "The Other Red" is made with raspberry. I'm not a huge fan of sour tastes, this one was a bit tart, has strong body and lots of interesting flavours. After talking with Rick, the idea of adding a wine in oak barrels, or even better in of oak whiskey barrels, would transform this wine (an idea they are toying with) but it was a bit too sour for me. "The Jewel" is a soon-to-be-released fortified wine coming out in May 2018 that has me very excited. I want able to taste that one yet because it's still in production. You are able to buy directly from Barr Estate, just call or text if you want one or two bottles and they'll accommodate you. There have been some events held on their grounds, which would make for a very interesting reception venue, unlimited boutique wines made 100 feet away? Heck yeah. Go for the Groupon, get the tour. Warm weather tours involve seeing the orchards, sheep, Alpaca, the dogs and the beautiful rustic farm. Cherry blossoms come out for a week, book your tour then and you'll get an unforgettable stroll through all the cherry trees with white fragrant flowers... Seriously, they run groupons all year long for the tours, winter groups are usually under 5 or 6 people, summer tours are 20+.

Fun place for all ages.

Excellent store. There's always a knowledgeable staff member on hand to help with wine selections. Store carries a great "World of Beers" wall as well with a good selection. I dropped the rating by one star due to the fact they don't carry all the wine selections available in some of their Calgary stores, a trip from Airdrie to Calgary should not be necessary for a specific product to be purchased.
