Got a couple bottles of wine, a couple bottles of vinegar and some great conversation! We visited this winery in April (a great time to go if you want to beat the summer crowds). Can't wait to visit again. The vinegars are going to be making some salads come to life this summer!
The wine is great, the pizza is phenomenal! The staff are very generous and knowledgeable!
What I like: cute rustic garden, the wine, the crunchy crust of the pizza. What I do not like: the price for the pizza, you can not charge people $23 for a pie and 18% is the lowest tipping option for guests, especially if guetss self serve. Definitely not top notch ingredients like the owner claims, I could taste the sugar in the tomatoes sauce I like the setting and the wine so I would recommend it but please reconsider the value you offer to visitors.
Nice little winery and definitely worth the stop! One of the smaller ones in the area, but enjoyed the unpretentious atmosphere along with the helpful staff and owner. Some enjoyably complex wines (loved the 2011).
Great place to visit for some wine and fireside pizza. Has a very rustic appeal to it and a lot of history as well.
Loved this visit! After a tour of the cooperage, you must try the Peach, and the Blueberry vinegars - my favorites! Taste Black Prince wines that can't be found at the LCBO, like Hemp!
We stopped in at Black Prince Winery for the wood fired pizza. We enjoyed the casual vibe at the winery and chatting with Pete about the process of manufacturing barrels and making vinegars. The pizza was amazing and the caprese salad, with a blueberry balsamic reduction made on-site, was easily the best one I’ve ever enjoyed.. better than those I’ve eaten in Rome! A very family friendly winery too, and we will definitely visit again.
We stopped in for a tasting and loved everything we tried. Staff were very helpful!
I stopped by to take a look but never partook in any tasting. I will definitely for sure next time and follow up. The location itself was very nice with the backyard patio. It looked like they had some nice products in the show room. Look forward to visiting again. ????☺️ October 30th I revisited Black Prince to try some of their wines. I had a glass of the Cabernet Franc and enjoyed it! ????☺️
Great spot to stop and have a glass of wine. If you are hungry they have pizza and really good ice cream.
Great place and interesting selection!
Went there for the Wood Fired Pizza, and it was really nice. But did not give it 5 stars as it was a 40 min wait. And for $22-25 per medium pie, it is expensive.
Nice Find on #62 Picton...fab wood oven pizza
10/10! Friendly atmosphere, attentive staff, wines packed with flavour and a story to go with each one! An extremely comfortable and worthwhile visit ❤️????
Stopped for pizza. It's worth the stop.
Not a great experience for me, and other customers, that just left without getting any attention.
Pete the barrel maker earned both stars
We visited this winery somewhat spontaneously to end our small winery tour of Prince Edward County over the Civic Holiday weekend, and out of the half dozen or so wineries we visited this was hands down the most satisfying. The wine tasted great (some really unique wines like the hemp wine) and also one of the few if not the only winery in PEC to produce and sell flavoured vinegar, which were also exquisite. When we arrived we were delightfully greeted by an adorable cat—I assumed belonged to the owner? lol They have a small firewood pizzeria area in the back. Jeff, the actual wine maker and not just some random winery staff, was our “wine tasting guide” and he was not only very knowledgeable but he also had a great sense of humour and was very accomodating to our group of seven. Overall, this winery was very charming and didn’t reek of prentiousness the way the other wineries we visited did. Well done, Black Prince. I only wish for the very best on your future endeavours.
Excellent process during Covid-19 for mutual safety, and great selection.
This place has selection of local beer and wood oven pizza (wine available at the bar as well), not to mention a wide variety of vinegars. If you're a fan of vinegars (as a salad dressing or other use), you won't be disappointed. You will find aged vinegars (i.e. 19 year old) which should be a fantastic seasoning.
Great selection and wines, easy location and parking.
Came to wine country for the long weekend and Black Prince Winery gave us the best experience. Curtis was amazing so knowledgeable and friendly. They have a huge variety of wines AND vinegars. The stone oven pizza here is amazing and definitely worth the wait. The live music was relaxing, a lot places over do it with the live music but it was great here! Thank you was Curtis for the great experience. We will definitely be back.
The vinegar was delicious.
(Translated) Friendly employees who know their products really well! INCREDIBLE wood-fired pizza! There were 4 of us and ate 3 of them, they were so light and delicious. For wine, free tasting and affordable prices! EVERYTHING, without exception, is to be thrown to the ground. (Original) Employés sympatiques et qui connaissent super bien leurs produits! Pizza sur le four à bois INCROYABLE! Nous étions 4 et en avons mangé 3 tellement elles étaient légères et délicieuses. Pour le vin, dégustation offerte et prix abordables! TOUT, sans exception, est à se jeter par terre.
Disappointing wines, lacking in body and complexity.
Great atmosphere and amazing pizzas. We went here twice during our visit to PEC. First time they had live music as well. Highly recommend and get the aioli dip!
Grab a pizza and a drink!
(Translated) Excellent welcome and very nice discovery. White wines and red wines with body, aromas and voluptuousness. Thank you (Original) Excellent accueil et très belle découverte. Vins blanc et vins rouge avec corps, arômes et voluptés. Merci
(Translated) Good tasting of wines and vinegars. We ate a delicious pizza baked in a wood-fired oven on site (picnic table). (Original) Bonne dégustation de vins et vinaigres. Avons mangé une délicieuse pizza cuite au four à bois sur place (table pique-nique).
We had a wonderful time at Black Prince Winery! Informative and interesting wine tasting, plus Jeff and Curtis were both great. Highly recommend this as a must-stop in Prince Edward County. They are the oldest winery in the county and are extremely proud Canadian wine-makers.
Loved this place! Amazing wine, amazing vinegar. Learned so much! Pete is a great story teller too. :) I have a much deeper appreciation for barrels. Don't miss this place!
Great wine and amazing pizza. Had an excellent afternoon and can't wait to come back. All the stars!!
The wine and vinegar tasting was a lot of fun. I, personally, didn't like the wines. The vinegars were delicious. My friends and I we had pizza and vegan ice cream. Everything EXCELLENT!!! Thanks for such a great time!! And the place is beautiful.
The reds are full bodied and easy to drink now. Same goes with the whites we tried. There's a pizza oven on site as well as a frizby golf course. So make this a destination rather than a slurp & dash tasting.
Great wine, had the merlot- pizza was eh! We liked the crust but it wasn’t extraordinary or anything special
We made a stop on our way back to Montreal and we had an amazing time at Black Prince Winery ! Wine tasting, staff and pizza were amazing and the prices are really raisonnable. Thank you !
Pizza was really great! I got the margarita it was delish. The only disappointment is the price but we can forgive because it is tasty. Also no water or drinks are offered besides wine. Wine was delish though loved the Riesling. Overall Pizza 5 stars, but service 3. :)
My husband and I had a great experience here. It was more than just a wine tasting experience; Curtis shared a wealth of information with us about the grapes, the barrels, and even the vinegars available there. I highly recommend this winery. It was perfect going in February because they are open and able to spend more time explaining about their history, wine making techniques, and other informative tidbits.
I visited Black Prince Winery with my Mom about a month ago and had a really nice visit. Their winemaker, Geoff Webb, was serving samples so we had an excellent opportunity for one-on-one time. Aside from wines, Black Prince also produces vinegars (I purchased balsamic) and, if memory serves, they also have 1 sherry for tasting. Another interesting thing Black Prince sells is a product called Hemp Wine. Certainly it's important to note that this winery has a variety of styles! If you go during slow season, like we did, it's very cool to meet the winemaker and he answered all of my questions. On the down side, we were hoping to get pizza but it was not open that day (that's our own fault since it's an outdoor oven- shoulda known better when its cold outside!). Mom and I both agreed that we want to go back again when the weather is warmer and try the food. Geoff also gave us a great location to have lunch in town there in Picton. Thanks again to Geoff for making it a memorable experience on my first trip out to Prince Edward County. I am sure we'll be there again soon!
Nice selection of wines and vinegars bought the peach vinegar very yummy and Mary Janes wine have not tried that yet, the pizza place in the back was OK got the margarita pizza just wasn’t very much basil or balsamic vinegar on it could of used more of that and a little bit of seasoning for $23 medium size pizza all in all not so bad crust very good was cooked in a brick oven I like that. Love Picton area. The vinegar was $29 for a bottle and the wine was 24.99 for the bottle the vinegar is more than a wine and less of it?
Guests said they had a great time enjoying the live music.
(Translated) The team is super friendly! Several varieties of wines and vinegars are to be tasted for a fee which will be canceled if buying wine. Behind, the rustic barn free entry is superb, and it serves a delicious pizza in the wood oven !! (Original) L'équipe est super sympathique! Plusieurs variétés de vins et vinaigres sont à déguster moyennant des frais qui s'annulent si achat de vin. Derrière, la grange rustique libre d'entrée est superbe, et on y sert une succulente pizza au four à bois!!
You must try their vinegar, aged to perfection! Owner is super friendly! Will tell you about him and his makings. We had so much fun at that winery!
Had an amazing experience at this winery. Matt was awesome. He was funny, down to earth, personable and very friendly. Both my husband and I really liked his style of customer service. The vinegar tasting added another layer to our experience. We bought two bottles of wine and a bottle of vinegar. I definitely recommend visiting Black Prince Winery if you're in the area.
Fantastic pizza, interesting vinegars
Good place with friendly staff and a good variety of locally produced wines. You can do some wine and vinegar tasting while eating a wood-fired pizza. Conveniently located, close to downtown Picton. Definitely would go back again.
We loved our stop here. We shared a bottle of lovely wine and a fired baked pizza on the vine covered patio. The music was wonderful and environment incredibly relaxing. Felt like you were out in the county. One of our favourite stops!
Curtis and Pete were so lovely to me and my family when we came down. Wonderful wine and vinegars, beautiful area and the oven fried pizza looked amazing, we wernt able to have some but I wish we did! Thank you all some much for the hospitality and great time!
Lovely spot, great pizza, good price!
Kurtis was phenomenal. Thank you for taking the time to talk to us! We tried some of their locally famous wines with their unique barrel aged process and tried the balsamic vinegar as well... You need to grab one of their excellent pizzas after, the Aloha is the one to get. This was the highlight of our day. So impressed with Prince Edward County!
The customer service was wonderful, and they had a great ice wine that wasn't just sweet but had a lot of depth in its taste.
The wine was great, and everyone should try the vinegar! Raspberry vinegar was my favourite. Great experience, definitely worth a visit!
MMmmmm - vinegar! This was so much fun, it just made the whole trip. And his level of authenticity and service was perfect. It was hard to not walk away with one of every flavour. So much for the taste buds to enjoy.
Needed a pitstop and was recommended here for their pizza. Tasty meal, nicely spaced out patio and left happily full! Got their Aloha pizza with their garlic aioli. Quite delicious, toppings well balanced and flavored, the dough itself had a nice bite and chew that was perfect with the dip. Not much service: you just go pick it up on the counter with no utensils or napkins. But you can make do since it's just pizza. There's a porta potty outside but they also have a washroom inside the wine room
Go talk to Peter the barrel maker!!!
I purchased 3 bottles of wine that were not to my personal satisfactory. The owners at Black Prince Winery personally contacted me and shipped THREE brand new bottles of the same wine I purchased 4 hours away to my residence completely free of charge! Absolutely amazing! They are extremely professional and truly stand behind their product. What a wonderful winery and staff, I highly recommend them to anyone in the Picton area!
Wow what a gem, first of all you MUST do a tasting here just to listen to the knowledge and then you MUST try the Vinegar! I know you are probably thinking vinegar, why must I try the vinegar? Ok I will explain we bought more vinegar than wine here, and the wine is amazing, so that should explain all about the vinegar.
Awful experience. Wine was mediocre at best. Tasting was done in plastic cups without even a cursory rinse between wines. Host was unenthusiastic in his presentation, not engaging at all. He also seated another party within 2 feet of our own, without any concern for social distancing. One star only for the vinegar, which is tasty on its own, but served straight with no bread or cracker accompaniment, and bottles ~ $30 for only about 500mL
Geoff and Steve are awesome. This was our first stop of 8 wineries in Prince Edward County . Easily the most memorable because there are zero barrel coopers in Ontario ..except Steve!! Great story great chardonnay and savoury vinegars. If you are visiting PEC check out the Black Prince winery Cheers! Pam Waterloo Ontario
Curtis was fabulous and made our birthday girls trip to Picton even more special and memorable! The food and wine were fantastic, and the vinegar for crust dipping was amazing. Will definitely return to this beautiful place.
Awful experience. If I could leave 0 stars, I would. And I’m the kind of person who sees the good before the bad. They gave me no reason to go back and all the reasons to come and write a negative review.
This place is awesome. The wines and vinegars are amazing. But if you stop here, you have to go out back and talk to Pete, the Cooper!
Had a wine & vinegar tasting with Kurtis ???? who shared the history of the barrels & how wine & vinegars were made. Never actually though I would enjoy vinegar tasting so much in my life. The wines were awsome!!! The Risling & Chardonnay are very good and the Cabarnet franc & Pinot noir were from another world. They have White Hemp Wine that tastes like flowers & aged white wine in whiskey barrel that tastes like honey ???? Highly recommended ❤️
(Translated) Delicious Aloha Pizza, but way too much hot yellow pepper and not enough pineapple! To do again, I would ask for no chili and a lot more pineapple! (Original) Pizza Aloha délicieuse, mais beaucoup trop de piment jaune fort et pas assez d'ananas ! À refaire, je demanderais sans piment et beaucoup plus d'ananas !
Man this place is fun. We first visited a few years ago, and while underwhelmed with the setting compared to other wineries, the unique tasting experiences keep bringing us back. Want to try different oils? Check! Hemp wine? Sure! Sherry? Ok! But that cab franc gives me happy dreams at night. Please do check our the barrel operation in the back, definitely worthwhile.
Good vinegar selection. Wines are good too. Tasting was informative and came with a lot of history of the winery. Learned a lot and enjoyed the tasting experience. Nice change of pace.
Nice place parking is a little rough but the guy that owns the place puts up really good show with the burning of the barrel and nice Pizza
Great wood fired pizzas, friendly staff, lovely wines. We'll definitely be back again soon!
Awesome place! You have to try Pete's vinegar!!!!
Great!
The perfect pizza ... amazing crust, great ingredients and done to perfection .... this is as good as pizza gets !!!
(Translated) Best wine in Prince Edward County! Worth the detour (Original) Meilleur vin du compté de prince edward! Vaut le détour
Great winery, try the Knight's Quest!
Worst customer experience I’ve ever had. Hostile man yelling at his customers for a misunderstand with tour guide (no conversation with us first). Insulted us! Even so we respected what he did say, right away. Says WE were disrespectful! Lies multiple times. Slandering on social media. It’s just disgusting. Worst display of narcissism I’ve ever seen.
Really didn't know what to expect when we decided to go here. The website is kind of shanty but we decided to try it anyway. It ended up being an excellent choice. The wines are great and so are the vinegars. But for me the real highlight of this place is Pete, the cooper. He is a really interesting fellow and as a woodworker I loved seeing his shop and barrel celler. Oh and they have a very friendly cat!
Wonderful tasty well made wine
This is where my wife and I call our second home. Our favourite vineyard in the county, always great selection.
Nice place, good service and really good pizza (but pricey).
Really nice experience. Wine is good, the pizza is great and Pete’s passion about his vinegars is amazing. Great products and service. Really enjoyed our time!
Loved the experience, the host was very knowledgeable. The various wines and vinegars were very good . The pizza was excellent. Enjoying one of their bottle at home - Cabernet Franc Reserve!!
These people are passionate and true to their craft, which is evident through both their enthusiasm and the quality of their products. Definitely try the hemp wine, and the wine vinegar!
Really great wines especially the Chardonnay and the sherry ! The wine tasting was really great too- amazing staff! Hands down recommended
A refreshing wine tasting experience. We found this place after looking through different wineries and coming here was totally worth it. The person providing wine tasting was very knowledgeable and gave a good history of the place as well. Will love to come back here.
yummy pizza
Best winery we stopped at today. Amazing service. Great wines. Highly recommended!!!!
Pizza was great and the vinegar tasting is different and interesting.
Great wine! The cabernet franc and the riesling are very good! And the pizza is wonderful!!! Great service!
Great views and great pizza....the wine is pri good too :)
wine served in plastic glass and average service
We tasted the cab franc and the merlot. The were both very good - fruity and smooth. We also tried the vinegars. Very impressive. Loved the peach vinegar for salads and loved the maple balsamic vinegar.
Great wine! Great pizza! Very friendly staff and the wine sampling area is set up perfect. Down by the barn you can enjoy lunch in a really cute spot. Tour the barn while you're there. A must on your travels.
Great pizza made by very friendly cooks. Best pizza I have had in years.
Excellent pizza. Good selection of wine and friendly service.
5 for wine, 2 for service. Means no service for family and kids... Bio toilet, no water... Maybe it's too much for you? (Based on their reply). I hope you will review your reply (maybe just be honest to yourself) and really, good luck guys. Fight for each client!
We came for a wine tasting weekend and started here. We spent over an hour here and by far this was the best wine tasting….why? The host explained everything and made it so much fun! The vinegar tasting was awesome too. I definitely say that when someone spends time with your group and explains in detail it really does go a long way. I went to many others that day and all I can say is black prince host, you were the best! Thank you so much!
Great pizza. Interresting wine. Awfull staff... I can't recall going to a place where the staff was that much unfriendly.. seriously!
(Translated) Excellent service !! Nice place, quiet and the wines are very good !! Dogs are welcome, we love it! (Original) Excellent service!! Endroit agréable, tranquille et les vins sont très bons!! Les chiens sont bienvenus, on adore !
Best pizza my boyfriend and I have ever had, also very nice and friendly! Will for sure be going here every time we come to Picton!
Fresh baked pizza and wine sampling
Barrel House Wood fired pizza at the winery is fantastic. Outside seating only. Nothing fancy. But pizza crust is one of the best we've ever had. Husband had the Aloha. A spicy version of a Hawaiian pizza. I had the Margherita. Nice drizzle of balsamic on it. Probably their own balsamic. Nice!
Black Prince has for a number of years been on my Must Go To list while visiting the area. They have a lovely selection of both wines and vinegars which never disappoint. The staff at the tasting bar have always been very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful however yesterday, I was appauled by the conduct of the seniour gentleman on sight. It was terrible how he reprimanded the young gentleman who was assisting a group of people who were sampling vinegars. The issue, I believe was related to an undercharge of a previous customer. Being a DM myself, having been in business for many yesrs, I have never spoken to my employees in this manner, let alone in front of patrons. There is a time, place and manner to address matters, of which were obviously completely disregarded. The young attendant was visably shaken up by the incident. Although, nothing was said by the employee after-the-fact, I did extend some words of support and encouragement. One thing I have learnt over the years is that if you want respect, want employees to meet expectations, be Magnetic as front people for your business WE as employers must be professional at all times, create a positive working environment for our employees and ensure that they know that they are valued. Final note: The rating is based on the product and assistsnce received. I did not think it appropriate to penalize based on the incident witnessed. I hope this feedback will be reflected upon and applied as a learn for future. Thank you.
(Translated) Excellent service, very good baked pizza! Very good value for money a few minutes from Picton! (Original) Excellent service, pizza au four très bonne! Très bon rapport qualité/prix à quelques minutes de Picton!
The wood fire pizza was excellent but a little on the expensive side but still very good. Did a wine and vinegar tasting and enjoyed it as well.
Excellent experience and beautiful scenery. Very friendly with amazing customer service, great wines available for tasting and delicious wood-fire pizza! The staff was wonderful and make you feel very welcome. The tasting was interesting and done by someone very knowledgeable. Pete, the cooper went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Very cool place and unique experience, definately recommend checking this place out!!
We had the pleasure of visiting this winery, initially just to buy a bottle of wine for our sister but we had the pleasure of meeting Pete the man behind the making of the Barrels. He showed us around and educated our family about why he chooses to age vinagers in these barrels. Its an experience my daughters whole dear to their heart something that they will never forget. Thank you Pete for the special bottles.
Loved tasting the good wines and thoroughly enjoyed visiting the unique barrel-aged wine vinegars at Canadian Cellars out back. Worth the visit.
(Translated) No home no smile (Original) Pas d’accueil pas de sourire
Edited - One of the staff was extremely rude during our wine tour. We were originally told we could bring a snack in, which we were enjoying by the picnic tables, then one of the staff approached my group extremely aggressively telling us to pack up and leave. He could have simply explained that we must of misunderstood and that we can stay but would need to pack up the food. We then went to Sandbanks Winery, who welcomed us in immediately and confirmed outside food was not a problem. I would definitely not recommend the Black Prince Winery. Response: Your response was a complete lie! Maybe you forgot that you told our wine tour we could eat. For your information there was no one waiting for tables. Sandbanks does serve food as some of us also got a snack there! Each of us also purchased a bottle of wine, which we were going to at your winery, so you lost customers because of your aggresive (not polite) reaction. She actually said 'she was not drinking, so to stop speaking to us in such a rude and aggressive manner.' Maybe if you had calmed down, you would have heard her correctly. We did leave immediately! The rest of the staff was really nice, as previously stated it was one employee. So not sure why you are discussing the "staff" in your response.
Great wine, great pizza, great people. We loved it and came back the next day to get more. Thin crust pizza, not too big, enough for two people. They have a pizza and two glasses of wine special for $30, and you can taste the wine to choose which one you like with your pizza.
(Translated) Reception in French and English, very good wines, Merlot 2009 special !! No castle to welcome us, but quality wines at reasonable prices! (Original) Réception en Français et Anglais, vins très bons, Merlot 2009 spécial!! Pas de château pour nous accueillir, mais des vins de qualités à des prix raisonnables!
Good wine. Closes early...
Decided to do some wineries and really enjoyed this place. Some really good local wines at good prices and amazing vinegars. I would highly recommend the blueberry flavored vinegar. They also have an employee who works there and burns the inside of the wooden barrels to add flavor. Very knowledgeable in explaining how they toast barrels depending on the type of alcohol to add the word flavor. They also have/serve wood burning oven pizza. Must try!!!
Good pizza ???? didn't try the wine but its 2nd time we been there . friendly staff, we bought Viniger ????
Excellent producer of Red and White wines. Very informative wine tasting sessions. Delicious wood fired pizzas!
Did a wine tasting of a reIsling ..tasted fine there ...but once I got home and opened it for some guests...well it was the worst tasting wine we have ever had....won t ever go back again Since I visited while on vacation I did not want to go 4 hrs away to return a bottle of bad wine
This was the second winery on our self guided diy winery tour. It wasnt actually going to be part of our itinerary but the opportunity presented itself and there we were standing at the counter of the Plack Prince Winery. So glad we dropped in because if I look back on the day I believe it would have been the most informative of our winery visits. Loved the low frills atmosphere compares to the other wineries we visited and the gentleman behind the bar gave us all kinds of personal input and even showed us videos of the barrels being flamed. The venue is very inconspicuous and not obvious from the road. We were introduced to delicious vinegars of various flavors as well. I highly recommend this winery as a stop any time!
