1/1/20262 min read

Norfolk County isn’t just known for its beaches, trails, and forests — it’s also a hidden gem for wine and craft beer lovers. This region is part of Ontario’s South Coast, where fertile farmland and a mild climate produce incredible grapes, hops, and other fresh ingredients.

Whether you’re into sipping crisp white wine, sampling small-batch brews, or enjoying a farm-to-glass cider, Norfolk County has plenty of stops worth exploring — all within a short drive from our cabins.

Plan Your Day from the Cabin

When you stay at Oliver’s Tiny House & Nordic Spa, The Haven, or Still Waters, you’re perfectly placed to explore Norfolk County’s wine and beer scene. Spend the day tasting and touring, then return to the peace of the forest for a relaxing evening by the firepit or in the sauna.

Wineries to Visit

1. Burning Kiln Winery (St. Williams)

One of Norfolk’s most celebrated wineries, Burning Kiln is known for using the region’s tobacco-drying kilns in the winemaking process, producing bold reds and flavourful whites.

  • What to Try: Kiln-dried Cabernet Franc or their unique rosé.

  • Extra Tip: The views from their patio are stunning in spring, summer, and fall.

2. Inasphere Wines & Farm (St. Williams)

A small, boutique winery offering estate-grown wines with a focus on quality over quantity.

  • What to Try: Chardonnay or Pinot Gris.

  • Extra Tip: They also sell fresh seasonal produce from their farm.

3. Hometown Brew Co. (St. Williams)

Located right at Burning Kiln Winery, Hometown Brew Co. offers a rotating selection of craft beers, often made with local ingredients.

  • What to Try: Whatever’s on their seasonal tap list — they do small runs so it’s always fresh.

4. Ramblin’ Road Brewery Farm (La Salette)

Canada’s first brewery farm, Ramblin’ Road grows their own hops and even makes beer-based potato chips.

  • What to Try: Dakota Pearl Ale or their signature Country Lager.

  • Extra Tip: Pair your pint with their kettle-cooked chips for a true Norfolk experience.

Make it a Full Experience
