Jason Johnson

Nice winery,people seem friendly,comfortable layout, wines are very good.We biked there OK,but highway is very fast ,Beware...

Stephanie Jobin

(Translated) Good wines and good value for money, tasting is also affordable. The only downside is that the chairs are 100% uncomfortable. A cushion should be added. (Original) Bons vins et bon rapport qualité prix, la dégustation est aussi abordable. Seul désavantage, les chaises sont 100% inconfortables. Il faudrait ajouter un coussin.

My wife and I had such an amazing time at Hillier Creek Estates Winery :) They have a beautiful property and their wine and pizza are amazing!! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing and luxurious getaway to the county :)

Christine Chomyn

Today was our last visit for the season to have wine and pizza on the patio. As always the staff are wonderful! Enjoyed some tastings (new wine blend and a new delectable bubbly - sadly only available on the patio) and really enjoyed the flavourful pizzas! Particularly good crust today! Pre-covid, this was a fave place to sit with a glass of wine in the cool of the patio with the sounds of the creek and the birds in the trees...so peaceful . Have mostly stayed away this season with only a couple visits. The staff are visibly doing a great job keeping up with sanitizing. The servers are great and as always super friendly and knowledgeable. The pizza cook is also fabulous! Hope all have a great autumn and winter. See you next season. Cheers!

First heard of this winery at a gallery tasting in Oshawa. I literally left this venue after being seated for 2 minutes. We were preceeded by a caucasian couple who were directed to be seated while the female server visually skimmed over us but said nothing. I voluntarily asked if we could be seated too to which she replied yes. It was after that my mom shared she observed the server looking at me with disdain. My sister also shared she felt a negative vibe as well. About a minute in the same serve brought over the menus by dropping them onto our table and walking away. No greeting, eye contact, nothing. We decided to leave then. I told the sever very calmly why we were leaving - due to her dismissive attitude; to which she surprisingly replied with a chirpy 'ok'. Like it was no issue to her that we were leaving. The perpetuation of such behaviour is so ugly truth behind all societal ills. I left a message on their voicemail after getting back to the car. Let's see how much they care.

We had the winery tour + tasting and it was really nice and informative. Nice location nice ambient. I would do it again.

Hillier is one of the longest running wineries in Price Edward County. The estate grounds are beautiful and their wine is superb!! The Roses are delicious. Enjoy a tasting or a glass in their back patio. ????☺️

Very friendly staff, good pizza and fin tasting wine. Great Sunday lunch.

Rob Landon

The quality of wine was up there with the best I've had in PEC, and the wood fired pizza was great, but I found the prices a bit steep considering the alternatives. I'm not sure of my expectations were up, but the service was a bit lacking too. Ive frequented a lot of the wineries around PEC and I love the small town l, family vibe they offer. Even on a crazy busy weekend I've had great personal service. Instead of a friendly hello, it was a brush past without a glance. It was a Wednesday afternoon and although they were perhaps a bit understaffed for the number of people coming and going, at the very least to expect is some recognition. Everything worked out in the end and I would still recommend a visit for sure.

Karen Reedman

Fiona was friendly and extremely accommodating. Picked up 4 bottles ????

Duncan Webster

Was refused at the door by a very unfriendly individual, while barking at another employee to not let us in. Understandable it is busy, you don't have to make guests like we are not invited back in the future.

Hans on the Bike

We have been here twice now and both times we enjoyed the laid back somewhat European atmosphere. We really like the pizza from the wood oven. They are nice and thin and with a nice white wine (although one should really drink beer with pizza, Italians told me) , life feels good on the patio.

William Weekes

A super dog friendly place including the patio with a wood burning pizza oven. A great place to relax and sample wines

Terry Archibald

My family and I attended this winery based on a telephone call earlier in the day wherein we were promised wine tours were available. Upon arrival, we were advised no tours were available due to a staffing shortage. Okay, so we travelled 30 minutes and thought at least we can taste wine and eat pizza. Terribly disappointed with the staff, the wine tasting experience and the pizza. While we have an open mind and were initially sympathetic to the staff being hurried, we soon realized the staffing shortage was really only a poor excuse for treating clients rudely. For starters, one menu for five people is ridiculous. Providing one ounce of wine in one glass for four adults to share is unconscionable in 2021. Charging $20 for an eight slice pizza that is thinner than a tortilla is gouging. Providing no plates for your guests who are sharing the pizza is simply lazy. I could gone on but I believe the point is...go to another winery.

David Sage

Staff Unfriendly and seemed like they really didn’t want to be working. Pizza was undercooked and soggy. They are also not checking Vaccine passports. Would not recommend anyone to this winery.

Rachael Kelly

Love this place! Have been there a few times in the summer when I am in the area. Always great food, wine and service! I especially love that I can bring my little dog Wally with me as its dog friendly! Highly recommend.

Rebeca Polo

This winery not only produces great wines, but also it is one of the most astonishingly beautiful wineries that you can visit in Prince Edward County. 50 acres of property, a rustic 160 old barn, and they have a patio overlooking a creek - the ambience is just so perfect! Also, if you drop by to try the wines - order their pizza too!! It is incredible!!!

Ben Waitzer

Came for lunch. Poor service - we had to get water for ourselves after waiting 15 minutes and all the servers appeared frazzled and confused despite how many staff they had. Pizzas had dry crusts and mediocre toppings. Gorgonzola and onion pizza was especially sad with not nearly enough toppings to merit being called a pizza. Basically ate like an onion bun. The cheese plates looked equally sad. The patio was nice but not with subjecting yourself to the food and service for.

Mikaela Moran

Great wine, great atmosphere and great service! I will definitely be coming back to Hillier!

Terry Archibald

Great wine and amazing pizza served up by fantastic staff.

Adam McLaren

My wife and I stop in as much as possible when we're visiting the county. They're always very friendly and accommodating, and the grounds are beautiful. Make sure to try their wood fire pizza too!

Brad Jamieson

Delicious wines with a very friendly & welcoming owner.

Madhu Bala

Lovely winery and lovelier people. The pizzas were great too! You have to try their Vidal gold and their summer breeze

Benjamin Holmes

Nice venue. Some staff were very friendly, others not so much. Great setting, good beverages, food was okay, would recommend

Stuart Scott

Very friendly staff, and you must try their oak aged chardonnay and fortified wines! Superb!

Faye Moxam

Pretty location and a nice Pinot noir!

Walter Reid

Amazing setting with a beautiful outdoor sitting area. Delicious wood fired pizzas. And Delicious choices of wines. Friendly service resulted in us staying for 3 hours. Definitely going here again.

Marie-jou-ëlle

Good service, not so good wine. Sorry

Mia Maillet

Unfortunately as someone else pointed out in their review, we arrived when there was a private event and they were down a server so the service was rushed, cold and minimalist. I bought their Pinot Noir because it was light, had some typical spicy notes to it and was a good price. After visit 11 other wineries though I forgot about Hillier. Their wines and service dis not stick out in my mind. It's a large space and its beautiful though for an event.

Chantale TO

Pizza was dry as a cracker....wine was likely the worst in the county.

Dale Beech

Excellent staff that took the time to explain all the wines and make great suggests based on likes and dislikes. A must visit when in prince edward county.

Tara Jean Woodworth

Fantastic pizza and great wine nice outdoor patio

José Ricardo de Mello Brandão

Reasonable

lauren willing

We stopped in this past weekend for some tastings and a pizza and had such a wonderful time! I would not consider myself well versed in wine tasting but I appreciated the knowledge and friendliness of our server Linda who gave excellent recommendations and pairing options for us. We had a really great experience here, I learned some really great tips, and everything tasted amazing! I definitely recommend this spot!!

Uditha Senaratne

Loved it. Conveniently located, not too far from Hwy 401. Beautifully maintained grounds. Clear view of the grape vines growing near the main building. Tours offered, $25 per person. Wine tasting $5. Free with wine purchase. Barrel Aged Chardonnay at $35 was great from the perspective of a whisky enthusiast. Pizza available.

Linda Bain

Disappointing. Over priced for less than good pizza and wine.

Sean Kibbee

Great atmosphere and service.

Lynda Maurice

Enjoyed a great lunch which included “best pizza ever” and great wine. Looking forward to our next visit. Thanks Hillier for making our day perfect.

Robin MacRae

Winery was nice but service was somewhat lacking. We were given our samples then left alone with no interaction from the staff. Wine sample were tasty.

Rick Robinson

I was there with 2 friends on Friday July 3. Although I have been there many times, it was the first for my friends. We had wine and pizza on the patio. The service was excellent, pizza outstanding. This has always been my favourite winery. Thank you

Christine Kidd

lovely winery, great pizza and service

Glenn Brown

Excellent service and knowledge staff.

Rachel Braithwaite

Very nice Winery. Reasonably priced and good wine. The added bonus is they have two very cute dogs as their mascot.

Stacy Glenn

Great pizza, good wine and excellent hospitality. We went just before noon on a Saturday and there was no line up, etc. We were able to take our time.

María XXX Rodríguez

Really bad service & wine

Linda Sims

Picturesque setting, friendly, knowledgeable, Authentic, Good wine, Great experience

Decent service, decent wines. Nothing that stood out overall.

Tanpreet Atwal

We sat and waited for our tasting for 20 minutes after ordering. Ended up leaving, poor service. Can't comment on the wine as we never got a chance to try it.

Melissa T

Unfortunately, this was not a great experience. Upon arriving we overheard several guests walking out saying the staff were rude - this was immediately a red flag. When we arrived at the door we waited several minutes without being greeted (although the staff did see us waiting outside the entrance/guest podium). There was no communication acknowledging we were there and that someone would be with us shortly. While observing the staff we also noticed they were visibly flustered, disorganized, and overall annoyed. Despite that fact there was minimal traffic in the winery. I would HIGHLY recommend that you take the time to train your staff & onboard them. There's nothing more disappointing than arriving at a winery, only to be welcomed by unprofessional staff who seem irritated by the fact that people are coming to visit for a great winery experience. We will not be returning.

Janice Shaw

Lovely winery. Katie at the front was very helpful & has a great sense of humor

Mona Ganesh

This was our first stop, as it's one of the first wineries. The service was good (hence the 2 stars), wines were okay and the pizza was very over-priced for what it was and we had to wait 40 minutes for us. Much better wineries in the area ie. Stanners and Kent-He were our favourites!

Richard Versteeg

Lovely area. Enjoyed a nice tasting and found a type we liked

Adrian Gaanderse

Do yourself a favor and order the pizza with the beef, cheese and tomato. I'm not normally a fan of fancy artisan pizzas, but this was the best wood fire pizza I've ever had. Pleasant shaded back patio as well. Nice place for sure.

Shona F

First stop on our wine tour, and we enjoyed it so much that we had to go back the next day to pick up a few more bottles. We got to taste their delicious wine while having a tour with Woody. Very welcoming staff, and Woody is a knowledgeable and funny tour guide. Would definitely recommend checking them out!

mac tac

Spent a beautiful Friday afternoon on the patio at Hillier Creek Estates. Service, wine and pizza was amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wines they offer. Enjoyed tasting several different options while sharing some delicious wood fired pizza. We have visited this winery several times over the past years and will definitely be back!

Shalini Sharma

Amazing beautiful property. Loved the wines we tasted. Will definitely return for more dose of awesome

Sebastien Nolet

Super pretty winery with a lovely reserved spot for us under a big shade tree. The wines were excellent and it was hard to choose which was the favourite of our group. Our service was quick and very friendly. Good place to celebrate our 30th Anniversary. Thanks Hillier Creek.
