Reviews of Traynor Family Vineyard (Winery)

Janelle

Came in on the weekend for a tasting, the wines are one of a kind and the service is impeccable.

Dale M

This was the first stop on a PEC wine trip and it was a wonderful experience. The staff were super approachable and friendly, and gave my boyfriend and I a very generous tasting run-through. We liked a lot of their wine, but left with a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc that was super tasty. Wish the taco truck had been around, as we'd initially planned to have lunch there, but that fact was overshadowed by how positive our experience was.

Chantel Plantery

Excellent wine. Excellent service. Thank you, Craig!

Ricky Yaholnitsky-Zornow

I'm not particularly a wine drinker, but when it comes to Traynor I'm quite a fan. Not only do they have great award winning wines, but Mike, Rebecca and their family are amazing hosts and very personable. Highly recommended.

Carl Chamberland

For only $2 a tasting the staff are very engaging and have a wealth of knowledge to share

Joseph Jeremy

The staff are friendly and very welcoming. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere and learned a lot about their wine making process during the tasting. They offer a unique selection of great-tasting wines.

Nathalie Grenier-Ducharme

Favorite Vineyard in the county! Best service from Sophie; gave great advice and understood what we liked pretty quickly. The natural wines were amazing, great variety. Will definitely buy their wines again!

Alex Innes

Some of their products are great but don’t buy the piquette keg. After opening it was almost flat. I contacted customer service about it but didn’t get any follow ups.

Tyler Smet

Awesome place to grab some unique wines and taste small batches!

Ryan Merkley

Nice little winery. Great staff!

Sandra Lachance

Great young family owned business!! Very friendly and very unique wines and chocolates!

chris gosselin

Some tasty and interesting wines. Innovative offerings for the area. Richard (the assistant wine maker) is affable and truly an expert in wine and the region. Sophie was also lovely and knew her stuff! Great tasting experience.

Marie-Pier Sansregret

Nice place, different than traditional winery's. They have a lot of pride in what they're doing, and they do it well. Products are a bit expensive, but worth the try!

Michael Allen

Mediocre samplings offered in the same hard water stained glass… when don’t finish, the host dumps the rest in a nearby planter before pouring your next wine in the same glass. Although the host was charismatic and well spoken, the very first wine was presented to us with him saying “not made for human consumption..” .. and wines should not smell like sulfur! Lots of room for improvement across the board at this place!!!

Kira Pearson

Great wines. Good atmosphere. Friendly knowledgeable people.

Ashley Inglis

My husband and I stopped in and enjoyed a tasting and a great conversation about their wines and vineyard. The vermouth is fantastic and very much enjoyed the skin fermented chardonnay. Will return and highly suggest this in your wine tastings.

Ashley Inglis

This winery is incredible. I love the wine so much. The property is gorgeous and the staff (The Traynor Family) is both friendly knowledgeable! It is a very welcoming, comfortable space. I would also like to take this review to recommend their Madonna Vermouth, and their Trifecta Pet-Mat! Cheers!

Alison Campbell

Small family winery. Really hot no air movement. Friendly staff. Cute little stopover.

Kevin Floether

The lady helping us was super nice, wines are great

Amanda McLaren

One of my favorite wineries, the taco truck makes it top the list! Only 4 star because the outhouse they have for customers is absolutely horrendous every time we've been.

Amanda Veglia

Just visited recently for the first time and will definitely be back! The family who runs the winery was super friendly and knowledgeable, and we really appreciated all the different varieties of flavour. This winery is also doing some different and unique things, like their white and red Pat-Nat's (think cloudy bubbles) and vermouth, where the owner picks his own botanicals to flavour it! Delicious. Walked away with three bottles and a smile. Our dog, Pot Roast, also loved his visit, was showered with love (which he much appreciated), although he didn't sample the wares. Thanks, Traynor!

Rod Hadath

Beautiful setting, taco truck rocks!. Hot day and wine was served warm though :(. Despite multiple hints we had to do the tasting with warm white ... Disappointing. However, purchased a glass of the 2014 sav Blanc (that was cold!) and it was delicious.

Sam Robinson

Very unique tasting. The off-dry vermouth is worth a try! Favourites were the Sauvignon Blanc and Gamay. The assistant winemaker did our tasting and he was very charismatic, engaging, and full of knowledge

Kelly Thompson

Best discovery in PEC. They are small, and so versatile. Damn they even make Vermouth with 15+ aromatics. The guy behind the bar was the nicest person we ran into out of the 9 wineries we visited. Young, but knowledgeable and passionate. He made us try all kind of wines, taking us on a journey that made me rethink the way I drink wine. Natural wines are not just trendy, they just make total sense. Thanks for the great 30 minutes we spent there. I regret not buying more. Hell, I am going to buy more online right now. Gotta go ttyl

Erin-Shauna

Great experience, great customer service, amazing wine! We had such an amazing and informative visit yesterday!!

Mac Cuevas

Great little winery. The wines were unique and you can't beat their 2020 Sauv. Blanc. Our server Sophie was very informative, quick and friendly.

Sarah Morton

Great winery. Excellent service and wines. Funky and good stuff.

Guy Leblond

We dropped in on this winery as we drove by. Don't let the casual appearance of the setting allow you to pass it by. The wines are wonderful. I highly recommend taking in the chocolate and wine tasting. Our guide, Richard, provided us with the greatest experience as he described the various wines and the chocolate. Do not pass over the opportunity to taste the vermouth. Buy some and make a martini with cucumber as garnish. Five stars for Richard!

Roland Strömbeck

Amazing wine and service. Try the wine and chocolate pairing you won’t be disappointed.

Marie-Pier Bellerose

Great wine and great owner!

robert tate

Nice setup but the vines was not in my taste

V K

Wow! We were a group of 5 and Traynor was in our top 3 of 14 wineries we visited over the course of our trip. They're a small family operated business which is what I'm more drawn too. Nothing of what we tried beats their Pet-Nat and the Vermouth! What a concept. We had their Pet Nat white with breakfast for my birthday and I wished I had bought more. We would have lived to try the tacos as people raved about those too. Will be a PEC staple for sure! Thank you Traynor!

Mia Maillet

Worth the visit, Mike does wonders with the opposite of factory wine.

Nick Burd

Corrine was awesome and the wine was amazing! The sauv blanc was particularly delicious

Philip Bulsink

Bought a great Pinot Gris but was most impressed with the Vermouth that is currently being created. What a wonderful flavour! We will be back for more.

Paul Hewitt

(Translated) Nice discovery. Do the tasting of the "orange wines". Very "friendly" atmosphere and service, pleasant little place as we were looking for. (Original) Belle découverte. Faite la degustation des "orange wines". Ambiance et service tres "friendly" petite place agréable comme on les recherchait.

Julien Noel

This winery is incredible. I love the wine so much. The property is gorgeous and the staff (The Traynor Family) is both friendly knowledgeable! It is a very welcoming, comfortable space. I would also like to take this review to recommend their Madonna Vermouth, and their Trifecta Pet-Mat! Cheers!

Noemie Brunet

Visited a few weeks ago - the best winery experience that we had. The gentleman serving us was very helpful in explaining everything about the wines we tasted. And, the wines tasted wonderful. Will definitely go back!

Jason Li

It was a very nice visit! They have wonderful wine (I loved their Cabernet Franc!) but the highlight of our visit was their two vermouths. So awesome and unique! If you love original and unique, it's a most.

franceska delisle

Interesting choice of wines, cheap tasting and the waitress was great

Doug G

Always stop when I'm in PEC. Traynor always has something new and interesting to taste.

L Marie

Richard was awesome and knowledgeable.

Meghan Mcgowan

No indoor toilets. Went to use the porta potty and when I went in, they were full to the brim. I decided to hold it and suffer. Those have to be emptied mid season. Yuk. The host would refill our glasses after dumping whatever was left over into a planter and didnt share any information about the wine even after being asked. He sat on his phone looking unhappy the whole time. This is not a par experience to be expected in PEC

Jeremy Hryniowski

Ordered two awesome bottles and got them in RECORD TIME. Very impressed. lcbo could never!

Richard Cleaz

We’ve been in PEC 2 years in a row and it’s our favorite winery so far. They opened just for us even though they we supposed to be closed that day. The wines are funky and delicious. The person who does the tasting is really good. Overall it’s a perfect experience.

Shea Kelly

The wine and chocolate tasting was delightful!

Britt Forrest

It was our first vineyard visit out of around 10 in three days. I strongly believe it was the best visit. The guest at the counter was a woman and unfortunately, we did not get her name. She asked us, my wife and I, which other vineyards we wish to visit, and she recommended places. Most importantly, the wine is great.

Kristin McClement

Nice selection of orange wine

Jasmine Jackman

Stopped by for a quick tasting - Personally loved: Pet-Nat (sparkling) - very effervescent and refreshing, reminded me of a Kombucha, very fun Mama Juice (skin contact/orange wine) - slightly fizzy, definitely smell the rusty smell from the oxidization, would pair fantastically with some fatty meats (duck, good prosciutto) Red vermouth - syrupy and aromatic, great to take little sips or with some decadent chocolate lava cake Beautiful property with excellent service from Nicholas - who was very knowledgeable about all the wines and took time to talk to each wine’s creation story & tasting notes.

tina velocci

Great vineyard and very nice people. Really enjoyed their natural wine, esp. their sparkly Vidal and Breakfast in the Vineyard. Tesla charger was a nice plus.

Christina Bindon

Such great customer service and excellent explanations for each wine in the tasting. Highly recommended!

Arnaud Francoeur

My favourite rose !!! Ordered online and experienced amazing customer service

Sharon Hogg

We absolutely loved our visit to this vineyard. Our host Sophie was awesome. She really gave us good recommandations and a lot of info about every wine we tasted. The wine is also very good. Something for every taste, weather you prefer a funky one or more classic. 100% would recommend.

David Hartle

Quaint quonset of a family run vineyard. The vermouth was delightful!

REM MER

This place is amazing! They make their own vermouth as well which was unbelievable. Also the pat-nat which was around before champagne and naturally forments into a sparkling is phenomenal. This winery has it all. YOU HAVE 2 GO????

Allison Houston

Visited several wineries on our trip to the County. Traynor was definitely our favourite for natural wines! We left with bottles of the orange, vermouth and pet nat. Their staff were also extremely knowledgeable and friendly!

Sly Wombat

What a great Vineyard! We've been there for a tasting and had such a great time! The wine were goog, prices were cheap and People were passionate and kind. The white vermouth is delightful!

Rose Vu

Great friendly staff, and great wines! I particularly enjoyed their more experimental or non-traditional styles. We will be back!

Melissa Cochran

Friendly, BUT the wine was terrible! So cold inside.

Andrea Winter

Excellent service and ambience, but the wine was not my taste.

Jonathan Drew

Natural winemaker, with some nice experimentation. One to watch.

B G

Arrived here only to be impressed by this hidden gem. The ambiance and architectural features were truly amazing and to be greeted by the most amazing person Ian who made this whole experience that much more special. Loved all the wines and I especially enjoyed the red vermouth.

April H

Live flamingo guitar greeted us....lots of variety to taste..warm welcoming spot

Sam Robinson

The staff are friendly and very welcoming. We enjoyed the casual atmosphere and learned a lot about their wine making process during the tasting. They offer a unique selection of great-tasting wines.

Sebastien Nolet

(Translated) We were 3 cyclists and we were treated to a warm welcome. After ordering a bottle to taste we honestly got badly washed glasses and had to help ourselves as the bottle was put on the table. The service was colder than the wine. The terrace was inviting and the wine pleasant to taste despite everything. (Original) Nous étions 3 cyclo-touristes et nous avons eu droit à bel accueil. Après avoir commandé une bouteille à déguster, nous avons honnêtement eu des verres mal lavés et nous avons dû nous servir nous-mêmes, car la bouteille a été mise sur la table. Le service était plus froid que le vin. La terrasse était invitante et le vin agréable à déguster malgré tout.

Laurie LeBlanc

We came to Traynor as a group of 6 on Saturday and out of the 9 wineries we visited that day this one was by far the best! I forget our guide’s name (I know she’s the sister of the owner) but she was outstanding. She was so friendly and passionate about the products and she took the time to discuss each of the 7 wines we sampled in detail, answering all of our questions and never once rushing us. Everyone ended up purchasing bottles - we bought more there than at any of the other 8 stops combined! I’m used to Toronto service (you know, cold and unfriendly lol) and I can say Traynor definitely puts Big City businesses to shame. Great work and thanks for having us!

S

Excellent experience! Will go back again for sure. Thank you Ian for all the explanations!

Chris La

Lovely family winery. Beautiful setting, relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Bought a bottle of fizz to bring home. Will def return! Thanks :)

Mike D

Loved this winery!!! Stopped in on our bikes, did a tasting and ate some yummy tacos. The live music on their patio was great and the service was even better! Can’t wait to go back.

Pascale Voyer

Lovely tasting area... assortment of specialty wines. Outhouse washroom facilities.
