It has been about 9 years since my prior visit to Sandbanks Estate Winery. I recall it being a wonderful experience on that prior visit. I was pleasantly surprised to see the extensive renovations and family friendly atmosphere on my recent visit. The Staff were pleasant, took the time to answer all queries, were very accommodating and most attentive. The ambience and entertainment was exceptional. I also very much like that management took the time & effort to place buckets of child blocks around, for the wee ones to play with while the Moms, Dads, Aunties, Uncles, etc were able to relax in the ample Muskoka type chairs, enjoy the entertainment and sample the incredible wines. They didn't forget about the doggies ... providing an adjacent off leash dog park as well. The prices for its wines are very reasonable, to say nothing of their excellent quality. As it was around lunch time, we took advantage of ordering from the on site food truck ... my the lobster rolls were tasty. Top marks all around. My friend and I had a very enjoyable experience and will definitely be back!

Have been going to Sandbanks winery for years. The wine is so good and we bought a case and a half again this year. Our tasting experience was disappointing this year. Went from 5 tastings to 3. Would have liked to have tried 2 red and 2 white. In addition, we had no information or experience with the 2 young men outside. They just took our money and poured the wine. There was no animation or discussion on the wines, where we were from, etc. Hope to have someone different next year.

Very nice stop to check out. Welcoming setting. No pressure to buy and the price for tasting is very reasonable. I love the out door area that we could on the lawn. The colorfull chair are IG ready. Next time we will book reservations and have a cheese board brunch.

Wasn’t planning to stop here but I’m glad we did. The wine tasting was fun and we then selected a glass to take out with us so we could enjoy the grounds. Lots of seating, from patios to porches to grass, comfy sofas, picnic tables, muskoka chairs. There’s even a food truck on the premises where you can grab a bite or just order a charcuterie box to have with your wine. Will definitely return.
