This tour starts with a visit to KIN Vineyards on the Carp Ridge. KIN specializes in the meticulous growth of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes, along with crafting northern hybrid wines and their Cider House Fools dry cider. You'll enjoy a flight of three wines and sample wood-fired pizzas.
More apple treats await at the picturesque Farmgate Cider where they create British-style, sulfite-free ciders from craft and organic apples hand-picked from their orchard.
You'll then tour Dairy Distillery in Almonte and enjoy sampling Vodkow vodka and cream liquors crafted from unused milk sugar.

Customer Testimonial:
"The West Carleton tour was wonderful! Presentations at all tour stops were well done and very interesting. Good information about the challenges of growing grapes in this part of the world, of how to extract maximum juice from berries to make good wine and producing pesticide-free apples to make cider. Delicious snacks and food pairing suggestions. A great group of people to tour with. Thanks Ruth and Iona for organizing an enjoyable tour and the opportunity to try delicious local products." - Annie Jessup Adams
