South Bay Tour

Some of Prince Edward County’s best kept secrets are found in the South Bay region, with rustic “Estate” wineries that keep firmly rooted in their working-farm origins.

Tasting rooms are more likely to be found in barrel rooms, converted barns or old cheese factories. They offer a fantastic opportunity to sample award-winning wines, usually with the winemakers themselves. You can generally see where the grapes are grown and the wines are made right from your barstool.

These grass-roots vintners are often eager to show off their modest operations, making Sandbanks Vacations' South Bay Wine Tour great for the “purist.  No elaborate facilities with massive production… just honest, hard-working farm-gate wineries with skilled and passionate winemakers.

Half Day - $85.00 / per person + HST - 4 to 5 hours
Tours run daily.  Pick-up at approx. 1:00 PM  Your trip includes:

  • a visit to four (4) South Bay area wineries
  • three (3) tastings at each winery
  • complimentary pick up at your local accommodation

Full Day - starting at $115.00 / per person + HST - 6 Hours plus
