Reviews of Casa-Dea Winery & Banquet Hall (Winery)

Trevor Kerr

Called head and reserved for our group, wine tasting and lunch. Arrived there and they didn't seem to be aware we came for wine tasting only lunch. The waiter was barely present at our table and mixed 5 of our orders. It also took 1 hour to be served wine and food.

Christopher Beauclair

Nice views of the winery, but the restaurant itself doesn't feel great. Nice wine though!

Richard Bowlby

Good wine, pizza, service, atmosphere, and ambiance. This place just works.

Lynda Hallett

After several years of regular visits here, the wine offerings remain good, but the "La Pergola" restaurant (which we have usually recommended) has really declined in the last couple of years.

Amanda Melvin

Really good wine and knowledgeable service. Nice clean location with a restaurant, patio and even a bocce court. Great place to spend the afternoon.

Mike Nowacki

We had a poor experience stopping by casa dea for a tasting. The lady serving us seemed completely annoyed that we were there and couldn't pour our samples quick enough to get rid of us. There was no attempt to educate us about the wines, give us a recommendation or even properly pour a glass. Even if we enjoyed the wine, I wouldn't purchase a bottle.....There are way more wineries that are more than happy to have you.....keep driving!

Jim Guld

Wonderful time today, Pop Up Vendor Sale and wine tasting. The DJ they had was great played up beat music and was very friendly to all! Vendors were friendly despite the wind blowing their things away.. lol. Staff were helpful no matter the issue. I will most certainly be back and enjoyed the different vendors.

Aisling McGilly

I tried several of the wines at the tasting and found most were disappointing. The sparklings seemed the best out of the bunch, which I purchased a few of. The staff was aloof and busy engaging in personal discussions. When asked questions they answered with the minimum amount of words possible, and seemed really disinterested in the client experience overall.

I had a wonderful experience here over the weekend. Patsy, Piero and the rest of the team at Casa Dea were absolutely amazing. The dining area overlooks the 60 acres of vineyards on site, the pizza was delicious and there are outdoor games …

Carl Cencig

Love it. Great people and great wine. Lovely facility.

Marshall Boyce

nice wine, staff pretty stuffy

Tyler Smet

Nice wines, nice atmosphere. A better place to visit in the summer to make use of their outdoor facilities

Kevin St. Aubin

Friendly staff, not busy at all when we went. Good wine choices at a range of prices. Overall good experience! And great view overlooking the vineyard.

Cee Cee

Nice place for a weekend escape. They have one single house for rent located in a winery. Cosy and quiet with a fire pit.

Lori Donnelly

Delightful winery with good selection and some fun activities including giant chess, bocce ball and some nice views!

caroline bingley

Restaurant service and wine tasting were great, pizza was just a little bland.

Theresa Green

Servers in the wine tasting area and the restaurant were unpleasant and rude. Will not be returning!

Ian Tattersfield

Ok winery. Staff seemed very snotty, and didn’t really care about staff. Nice place, but will not be returning.

J Lemieux

Wonderful place, wonderful staff and wonderful food. Really nice place to spend an afternoon!

Henry Troup

A wonderful and relaxed atmosphere with amazing pizza and charcuterie boards. Lots to do for the younger kids while waiting for lunch or having a wine tasting. There is a huge chess board they can walk on as well as bocce ball. Lots of areas to sit and relax to take in the beautiful scenery of the vineyards and a popular giant LOVE sign that is a must to pose with for pictures. The staff is welcoming and easy to chat with and if you love sangria they have an amazing one, served by the glass or pitcher. A great way to spend a relaxing day!

Broadway Studios

Not a fan of the service or the wine today unfortunately.

Sourov De

I drove from Brantford, a 4 hr drive only to be met by an insensitive person that told me they closed early due to a rain storm. Not a drop nor a storm when I arrived at 4:36. I let her know that I just drove 4 hrs to buy several cases of wine when she mustered an incredible amount of compassion, understanding and problem solving by saying only one word, "sorry". Having spent 28 years in retail, it would have taken nothing to open the til and take my $2000 and say thank you. Why is customer service a dead art?

Johan Cornelissen

We were hesitant to go here due to some poor reviews, but found the exact opposite. The lady that helped us greeted us, was very friendly and made our experience a memorable one. We would recommend our friends and family hit up this winery if ever in PEC. Winds are wonderful.

Aletha Phillips

Good food and views of the winery. It gets really crowded and rowdy with the buses that drop off drunk older folks though.

Sean Skinkle (The Owl - Jasper)

Great service, Great Wine. Good times!!

Mikaela Moran

Upon arriving, my family and I waited for seating for roughly 15 minutes at the front podium. Once a hostess made eye contact with us, she said she would seat us but will not serve us for 20 more minutes. As the upper patio emptied, and more guests arrived, we saw the waitresses blankly ignore us for another 40 minutes. 2 tables that arrived after us even got their drinks/menus, where as we just sat at an empty table. Should have checked the reviews before coming...

Liz Martin

We were really excited to visit this winery. A lady called Lezlie poured the tastings and was one of the grumpiest and least welcoming people I have ever met in my life. She wouldn't even tell us about the wines we were drinking. Don't waste your time coming here. From the other reviews it looks like this isn't the first time this has happened. Put a smile on that dial Lezlie.

Brad Chapman

When we arrived for lunch on a Tuesday we were seated quickly. The waitress was not very knowledgeable on the wines, and several times I saw her in the kitchen scrolling through her iphone. Our drinks were warm and there was no ice offered. We did not see the waitress again for at least 90 minutes. After that time our pizzas arrived and they were subpar; low in toppings and sauce. I had to go to the kitchen to request utensils. I immediately asked for the bill so that we could leave. There was a large group of perhaps 12 people who had arrived before us who had been allowed to bring their Bluetooth boom box onto the covered patio which they used to play their own playlist very loudly. Because of COVID this was the only date day my wife and I have had since the spring, and this stop was a great disappointment. We will not be back.

MK Marsden

Casa-Dea was totally awesome for our Wedding. Food was excellent and the service was great. Casa_dea went above and beyond to make our wedding day perfect. I would highly recommend them to any Bride and Groom

Javier Pacheco

Went to Casa Dea Winery through harvest host with a Boler camper to stay for the night. Really nice owners, good wine, very decent prices. recommended.

Chrystal Connor

This is a beautiful little winery. It was not busy when we got here mid-afternoon on Wednesday. We tasted some really good reds and a sparkling Cuvee. We split a delicious salad and a tasty Sicilian meatball sandwich paired with a couple wines we hadn't tasted earlier. Walk the grounds, play some Bocce or giant chess. The banquet hall looks to be a great place for any special event.

Shaun Perry

A lovely setting, complemented by delicious food with am Italian flare. The Pinot is far too easy to drink. Won a gold medal in WineAlign 2015

Mark B

This winery is a gorgeous venue especially for a wedding. We sampled a lot of sparkling and Italian style wines.

Debbie Miller

Stay away Went their with a bus of people for a wine tasting and lunch We were serviced boiled noodles and canned sauce with stale bread. The person decribing the wine knew so little she had to read about the wine off a sheet. They refused to take credit card. Staff were cold and had no idea what they were doing. When we explained the issue they said that is what we always serve.

Haley Thurston

Came in with my partner on a Saturday- far too few staff working and large wait times for tasting and for food. Otherwise enjoyable atmosphere and pleasant location to have a glass of wine.

Benjamin Holmes

Apparently fired a staff who was unable to wear a mask. Disgusting. Will never set foot here.

Chris Mccuaig

Very mediocre customer service standards, our experience did improve until met by one kind waitress. Many people left standing around looking disorganized.

Chris Münch

Great selection of wines and very open and large space

Adam Gibson

My wife seemed to have a really good time. So it was good.

Keith Marlowe

During our wine touring we stopped in to Casa-Dea and were immediately enticed by the lovely aromas coming from the restaurant, and we were not disappointed with our choice to stay for lunch. The three pasta dishes we tried were excellent and the service was exceptional, as was the wine. The atmosphere was lovely, a very tranquil and relaxing place to dine!

Seth Kress

Beautiful spot with great wine!

Faye Moxam

Not a good experience. Went around 1130am, waitress was smelling wine bottles with no mask on. While serving water, the water jar touching our used glasses. I felt really uncomfortable…

Babak Samareh

We visited this winery while on a tour in September of 2019 and purchased a bottle of Legacy Edition red wine which we decided to cellar for a later special occasion. We opened the bottle yesterday but were surprised to get a "vinegary" …

Philip Bulsink

Great winery, great scenery, good wine. Nice patio for eating pizzas and tasting. Nice friendly Staff.

Kate Atkinson

Bad service. Saw a lot of signs for this place and decided to check it out and get a bite to eat. Was told to take a seat on their patio and they would be a few minutes - waited 25 minutes and still hadn’t been visited by the waitress to take our drink order. They weren’t busy at all. Decided not to wait any longer and got up to left. We went to Hinterland winery instead - they were busy, but offered us a prompt drink while we waited for a table.

Rajeev Sharma

The wine was the best we had in the county that day! I loved it. And the property was picturesque. Worth a stop!

Rajeev Sharma

Such a great place with amazing wine. Definitely worth the visit.

Nishall Chinapa

Great wine - knowledgeable tasting - did I mention great wine?

Kyle Reese

What a terrible experience at the restaurant! I don’t even know where to begin. This was our first mini vacation of 2020 and we left Casa Dea with such disappointment. My only regret is that we didn’t leave when things started to go wrong. I kept hoping things would improve but it just kept getting worse. We were told it would be a 10 minute wait for a table but it ended up being 40 minutes. Tables sat empty while the lineup grew longer because there was nobody to clean up. Two limo drivers started helping clear tables because the waitresses couldn’t keep up. They were busy but the lack of staff is inexcusable. We were excited when we got a table but I’m glad I had wipes in my purse because it was cleaned in a haste. And then more waiting... 30 minutes for a glass of wine. Another hour for the pizza. My husband kept having to chase down the waitress who was more focused on doing Instagram videos than serving thirsty/hungry customers. When I finally received my pizza, it didn’t contain the toppings listed on the menu. I wish I could rewind this day. It was a waste of a precious afternoon.

Michael L

I would like to start this review by saying how beautiful the grounds of the winery are, the food is SO SO SO good, and the wine is top notch. The staff of Casa Dea are unbelievably kind and generous. I had booked my wedding there for 2020, and unfortunately had to postpone it to 2021. I have now had to cancel it altogether due to the pandemic and every single person I have spoken to at Casa Dea has been so unbelievably kind and accommodating during such a difficult decision. When you visit Casa Dea winery, you will have a great experience, eat delicious food, and taste some of the best wine in the county.

Web Drift

The Sangria was lovely and my husband really enjoyed the Amore wine. Food was a bit overpriced, even for a winery, but overall was delicious.

S Biswas

Such a chill vineyard to hang out at with a few peoples. They even have picnic tables for larger groups so hang out.

Adelaide Manley

You must try there mulled wine!!!!! Amazing doesn't begin to describe it's taste.

S Yeung

Beautiful setting and we bought a couple of their wines

BeeAware Gardens

Been coming for years and every year they are working on improving guest experience, so always a treat to come back and enjoy!

Hartley Blumenfeld

Absolutely the rudest servers I've ever encountered. Didn't stay to eat after they way we were treated. Such a shame, as it's a beautiful spot.

Darek

(Translated) Well as a place to use it provided us with a glass for two when everyone else tasted their own really flat glass seen that we are considered young …

Joseph Doary

They were busy but my server Aron was freindly and knowledgeable about wine. They were doing a great job with the amount of guests that were coming in and out. I could hear another table being very unkind and I was disgusted by this. These servers are risking their health to make sure people have the best experience possible during this pandemic and that kind of behaviour is unacceptable. The wait times were a bit long but they have to do a really good cleaning between customers. I would expect nothing less. Excellent job to all staff and thank you.

Lisa Paterson

Sadly we received very poor and slow service for lunch. No real guidance or direction on where to go for wine tasting. The person serving wine didn't know anything about the product, very disappointing experience. I would not recommend coming here.

David Switzer

If you want a decent patio overlooking vineyards this is a great spot. Food is good, priced right, and family friendly. They have a huge bocce ball court, another way we kept our kids entertained.

Ryan Combden

Great place for lunch and excellant service the wine is supurb

Jay Patryqq

Love this place, the Pecorino is a unique must try.

Simon O’Barr

Absolutely loved the wine tasting. We are red wine drinkers. Have been to a few wineries in the area and as far as flavour of the red wine goes, Casa Dea won our vote. The server doing our tasting was very knowledgeable and very friendly. We didn’t go to the restaurant as we went mainly to taste the wine. Very happy and will definitely come back and order wine from here in the future.

Karen Lia

We had our wedding at Casa Dea Winery and it was fantastic! Tracy, Casa Dea's Event coordinator, was awesome to work with. She's friendly, flexible, responsive and professional. Tracy genuinely cared about our big day and made sure that she and her team did everything they could ensure everything went great. Casa Dea is a beautiful winery and really nice setting for a wedding. We loved staying at the guest house on the winery for the wedding as well. We highly recommend having a wedding at Casa Dea!

Lindsey Bell

Connor Country Creations was a vendor at their pop up show on August 29, 2020. They had a great DJ which really helped to bring the customers into the vendors booths. The vendors were very helpful to all other vendors during the windy weather conditions. My niece and I both enjoyed being a vendor at this event. We look forward to any other pop up sales that Casa-Dea has in the future. Thank you Chrystal and Kailyn Connor

Sarah Ayer

Decent wine, however the service was quite rude and pretentious. Will not return to this winery with much better and more friendly options in the area.

Truth Teller

Love the wines here, especially the Pinot Grigio which is my new go to white. The pizza patio is totally peaceful.

Devipriya Anand

This is a lovely winery with absolutely fabulous Cab Franc.

Judy Bnet

Let's be honest and real in regards to Casa Dea Estates Winery. The limited menu has little to do with Covid-19 and more to do with having no staff, other than family members and children of their neighborhood. They treat their staff awful, it is all about nickles and dimes. Every good staff member that has come and gone since they bought it had better intentions for that business than they do. They care nothing about their customers that support their business and care nothing about treating good staff well. If people only knew how much their satisfaction doesn't matter, other than their money coming in, they wouldn't support the Owner or his management son. It is unfortunate that this Winery is owned by this family and could be a fantastic place to work and visit under different ownership, it has incredible potential. They have lost staff that are the most dedicated pure intentioned loyal individuals and left with basically no one, yet, they still don't care. The money goes in their pockets and that is all that matters to them, certainly not the experience for their customers. Let's get a bunch of investors and make that place what it could be, what it should be.

Jacquelynn Gould

Tasting was good, we bought a few bottles. Service was good at the restaurant though the options for vegetarians could have been better. Only Flat bread for vegetarians, no wood fire pizza like the other wineries around.

R. Nelson

We went to Casadea to buy some Cabernet franc and decided to stay for lunch. The menu is limited because of Covid. I had a sausage pizza and my wife had vegetarian. She could not eat hers and took it to go(to be polite)and dumped it in the garbage. It was tasteless. The crust was horrible and the tomatoe sauce was awful. Throw away the recipe, fire the cook and replace your easy bake oven! If you had decent food you would sell more wine.

Jessica Privé

Lovely lunch and nice wine

Sébastien Yoakim

Such a great place with amazing wine. Definitely worth the visit.

Andrew Hall

It was a great experience, we thoroughly enjoyed it. Afterwards, we sipped a glass of wine while roaming around the property.

Renata Quelhas Coelho

Grounds were beautiful, wine tasting was an adventure for us, pizza was delicious. Only 3 stars because the service was very slow, waited over an hour for the pizza. For some reason we had 3 different servers, seemed disorganized.

Corry Running

Lunch menu had excellent options for us, including gluten free pizza and vegetarian selections. This was a nice stop overall for us and we were pleased with the wine selections and the venue itself.

Wendy Strain

After having a ???? tasting at CasaDea we purchased a few bottles of wine. It was not until we arrived home that I noticed the bottle was wet ... unsuccessful corking! Within a two week time frame I called their office twice & was told that the owner would respond to me. I never received a courtesy call. However, I was told that “he must of got busy”. It happened to be their primo, most expensive vintage. The business would not exist if not for the patrons. No value on his customers. Needless to say I was extremely disappointed. I’m a proud supporter of Ontario vineyards. I do not recommend this vineyard. Absolutely horrible customer service!!!

Jordan Bails

Not sure what happened to this place. Used to come here all the time and the previous pictures are what it was all about. The food and service has all gone downhill. It’s pretty bad when even the washrooms are out of service. Thank goodness I have lots of other choices in wineries in the region.

Patrick Malo

Seemed like we were a nuisance waiting for wine samples. Server kept brushing us off, very rude and miserable. We wanted to purchase 4 bottles of 2017 Pinot Grigio after discovering it the night before at The Drake Devonshire. We put them back and walked out. Other 6 wineries were wonderful! Purchased wine at all!

gary Ryan

Great wine and enjoyed our time learning from Piero (wrong spelling? Sorry!)

Jay Chapman

Friendly staff, good pizza and wine. Cab frank reserve was best choice for red.

Tracy Hardwick

Nice winery, with a great view and venue options for events and weddings. Tastings were pretty good too.

Cat

Stopped by with friends, 6 of us total, for wine tasting. Had terrible experience. Girls were rude to us. Never welcomed us. Move here. No. Move back over there. I have to clean the counter. Ignore us for a few more minutes. Told to grab our glasses - not asked. Ignored us again. Finally get her attention and we said we're going elsewhere. Had a wonderful experience at another winery close by.

Stacey Kyle

Pizza and a flight wine tasting on their patio.
