Reviews of Domaine Darius (Winery)

Amanda Stewart

Amazing wines! Fabulous owners.

Louise deBourbon

This winery is wonderful with amazing wine and friendly staff. This is a not to miss winery when you are visiting Prince Edward County.

Racquel Heron

Enjoyed the beautiful outdoor space and owners. Great spot.

Ben Kania

This place is perfect for a couple. A gem nestled in the vineyard, Domaine Darius is run by a passionate couple who care deeply for their craft. We had probably the best wine tasting I've had, and were taken through the history of the craft of Cuvee. If you're a serious wine lover and looking for a great experience I highly recommend this winery. You can bring a picnic and eat in their garden while sipping wine!

Amy Shea

Family owned and operated, small batch, artisanal wine. A must see in PEC wine country.

ExecuTrans Corporate Transportation

Extremely knowledgeable, personable, conversationalist. Only three wines are served for a tasting at a time and we bought all three after trying them. Definitely stop in if you have the chance else you'll miss this and you won't want to.

I had read about this niche winery on a couple of blogs and stopped by a couple of weeks ago. There were no tastings due to Covid, but I enjoyed a delightful conversation with a very passionate and knowledgeable owner, Joni. There were not many options to purchase due to the fact that they had sold out of most of their inventory. In fact, Joni stated that a lot of next year's varietals have also been pre-purchased (or put on hold)! I bought some white wine and port, the latter which is absolutely delicious.

David Wiseman

Very interesting visit. Beautiful gardens. No washroom on site though.

Helen E Michaud

Fabulous wines and lovely hosts. All four wines were BY FAR the best wine in the region (and we went to around 15 wineries). I highly highly highly recommend this winery if you are in the area.

Nathan Sally

Excellent wine in an intimate setting.

Eric Michalski

One of the best wineries I visited during my trip to PEC. The winemakers wife was doing our tasting and she was incredible. Very knowledgeable and passionate. The wines were absolutely beautiful! The Chardonnay and the Red Cuvee are highly recommended. Side note the garden is worth walking through, very splendid experience.

lisa lumley

Always so nice and accommodating here, plus they do some different stuff instead of just the same Pinot/chard that most of the other wineries do.

Jocelyn Brant

Beautiful experience during our honeymoon. We enjoyed a bottle in the beautiful gardens. Also bought two more to bring home and regret not buying more!

Kasia Kamila

I already tasted the wine in my head before I actually tasted them. It was described by a true wine master! It was great tasting experience. I am now a Porto convert after today. ????????❤️

Lindsay Zak

Really excellent wine and cosy hospitality. It looks like your at a house, but trust me, there is a winery in there.

Remi Jr. Ojo

The best winery in PEC. The owners are super friendly and accommodating. We loved the wines. Highly recommend.

Dave Hudj

Beautiful beautiful property! This was our third winery for the day and we really really enjoyed our time there. We tasted 3 wines and they were all wonderful! The staff were super knowledgeable and gave us a very thorough rundown of and background of each wine. My favourite would be the Frontenac. It has very strong notes of creme brulé, but not in an overpowering manner.

Brandon Koykka

Perfect! Professional business, friendly collaboration, Strongly recommend. The price is also fair, and the guy is really helpful.

Peter Roche

We visited by accident, as it was close to another winery we were visiting. We we’re pleasantly surprised! Very knowledgeable, kind and genuine. Absolutely amazing experience and the most lovely, peaceful garden to try your wine in. Everything we bought was absolutely unique, smooth and flavourful! Definitely will be returning as soon as possible and would 100% recommend all wines to anyone.

Excellent wine and beautiful winery

Patricia Dion

Great experience.

Jon Braganza

DD is the definition of a boutique winery; small winery that delivers extremely well crafted wines; 2 whites and a red. The hostess indicated the wines are only available at the winery and won't ever be available at the LCBO. Again to maintain the boutique vibe. I recommend all the wines; the Chardonnay reminded me of an expensive Chablis I once had. The all bring out the terroir. Since I'm more of red wine guy I enjoyed a glass at the winery and purchased a bottle for home. Will definitely be back. Note: tour buses not welcomed and the directional signage is non-existent so it's not the easy to find. The

Sherry Agado

I was pleasantly surprised by this small vineyard. Although it may be small, they know and make great wines.

oana nasturas

Have been to this winery twice and enjoyed my experience both times. Owners are friendly and easy to deal with. Love the wine and the property.

Jenn B

one of the best if not the best in PEC

James Lucas

Amazing wine! Great space.

S Trueman

(Translated) It's not a 5 out of 5 ... it's a 10 out of 10. Small intimate place, do not leave PEC without having made this visit. The owner, wife of the master craftsman, gives the best explanations in simple jargon. Amazing wine cellar. Old fashioned production method. WELL DONE ! (Original) C'est pas un 5 sur 5... c est une 10 sur 10. Petite place intime, ne quitter pas PEC sans avoir fait cette visite. La propriétaire, femme du maitre artisant, donne les meilleurs explications dans un jargon simple. Cave a vin incroyable. Methode de production a l'ancienne. BRAVO !

jocelyne Tardif

David and Joanie are wonderful and their wine is even better!

Lori Cullen

Joanie was such a delight to meet. I cannot recommend this place enough. Such a brilliant, laid back experience. We were allowed to roam, and I love the themed seating areas. The experience was so great that the delicious wine was a plus, not the star of the show! There’s good reason why they are sold out of a lot of their wines year round. We will be back, can’t wait!

Milad Ghasemi A.

Always enjoy our visits here. As I always say to Dave, I like everything he makes and I make sure I tell everyone I meet in the county it is well worth the visit. Looking forward to the white style port.

Matt Allen

Three of us travelled by bicycle north of Wellington and we saw the sign at Wilson Road. We rode the long driveway to the winery and liked it instantly. Outside we spoke for a while with Dave Gillingham, the co-owner and winemaker. What a wealth of knowledge. Then we experienced with his wife Joan a wonderful wine tasting. She beautifully explained the different wines and we enjoyed very much her passion. And - all four wines, we tasted, were superb. Especially their Gewuertztraminer. It was phenomenal! Unfortunately I took only one photo. Probably to much "distracted" by the whole experience. We will definitively come back in a few weeks.

Gabrielle Poisson

Stopped by soon after opening during Covid pandemic. Very friendly, family owned business that usually runs out of wine so I was delighted to be able to get some of their bottles. They are adjusting to the rules and please help them follow them. There is not a lot of space to park and only the couple that owns the winery working, be patient and enjoy the grounds if you have to wait. No tasting as it is not allowed for public health safety, but who knows maybe they come up with the idea that you could buy a bottle and share it on one of their patios once that is allowed The wine I have started so far is great

Jess L

Domaine Darius is my favourite winery in PEC, all their wines are made with such care and passion. Must visit for anybody who likes wine. The tastings are very fun, informative and intimate. Enjoy !

Sebastien Nolet

(Translated) The lady was passionate and she explains with a lot of love. For this summer, there is no tasting, but we can bring our meal and eat there by buying a good bottle of their wine and enjoy it quietly under the gazebo. Happiness. (Original) La dame était une passionnée et elle explique avec beaucoup d'amour. Pour cet été, il n'y a pas de dégustation, mais nous pouvons apporter notre repas et manger sur place en achetant une bonne bouteille de leur vin et le déguster tranquillement sous le gazebo. Le bonheur.

Sarah Maynard

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit despite wine tasting not available due to Covid-19. You may purchase a bottle and sample at your leisure in the lovely gardens. If the wine is not to your liking, you can return for a refund! The proprietors' objective is that you leave fully satisfied with your purchase. We sampled the Cuvee and it is fantastic! If you are looking to visit a winery that espouses old-world ways of wine making, that encourages an appreciation of each type of wine and the subtleties in their respective bouquets, this winery is a must!

Christine Condette

Had a lovely time speaking with the proprietress about the various wines they hear this season. A lovely, temperature controlled space, small and intimate and the perfect place to experience some of the county's best wines. Do yourself a favor and try the Port. Easily one of the best ports I've ever had. The Gewürtztraminer was also an incredible surprise. ????

Robert Pangborn

Excellent wine, very friendly atmosphere. Very knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend

Steve G

This was my most surprising stop. The host was knowledgeable and friendly but most of all his wines are to die for. So glad we stopped and went in.
