Great experience. My partner and I were visiting NOTL for our anniversary and planned on visiting a quality winery. We were particularly drawn to this location for their 'Picnic in the Vineyard' service, and thought of it as a unique and creative service to visitors. A week in advance I had sent an email requesting to make a picnic basket reservation, but received no response. Once we arrived the day of it was extremely busy and staffed looked overwhelmed. After periods of waiting we were then helped graciously, and staff were very social and knowledgeable on their wines. Picnic baskets are made to order and took longer than usual due to busy traffic. Thankfully that day we were not in a rush so the slow service didn't impact our experience to an extreme. Had a lovely time exploring the vineyards and enjoying our basket of goodies. Oh, and the icewine is a hit! If you want to experience a picnic in the vineyards, and love icewine, give Cattail Creek a try.
