This tour starts with a visit to KIN Vineyards on the Carp Ridge. A renowned family estate winery, KIN specializes in the meticulous growth of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes. Here you'll enjoy a flight of three estate wines and take a guided tour of the vineyard.
Artisan ciders then await at picturesque family-owned and operated Farmgate Cider in Arnprior, where you'll enjoy British-style, sulfite-free ciders, paired with wood-fired Marguerita pizza.
You'll then tour state-of-the-art Vodkow/Dairy Distillery in Almonte to sample their signature spirits and seasonally flavoured cream liqueurs crafted from the unused milk sugars of local dairies.

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
