Huff Estates Winery & Inn

Huff Estates Winery  & Inn is a state-of-the-art facility that has everything to maximize your experience in Prince Edward County. No other winery offers this unique experience in the County.

PRINCE EDWARD COUNTY

Prince Edward County (PEC) is located 220 km east of Toronto. It is just south of Belleville. The ground is atypical with many valleys and the foundation is limestone. The cracked limestone base and the stony soils allow bilge in the spring, take in all the water which allows the vines to go deep in the Indian summer, and yields a flavor that is potent, rich, full-bodied, and robust. The breeze from Lake Ontario gives maximum benefit to the vineyards of PEC.

As you exit the 401 and go south towards PEC, it is an amazing escape from the boring monotony of the 401. You are transformed into the countryside lined with unique vineyards in a succulent canvas of agrarian serenity.

Welcome to my series on vineyards in PEC. Before you head out to a vineyard please read this guide on how to enjoy your trip. In this series, I will cover the following vineyards: Harwood, Casa-Dea, Rosehall Run, Norman Hardie, By Chadsey’s Cairns, Black Prince, Waupoos, and Kent-he.

Huff Estates Winery

Huff Estate Winery was established in 2004. The main goal was to produce the best wines. Lanny and Catherine Huff were born and raised in the County. They have taken their passion for wine and have created a masterpiece consisting of a winery, restaurant, inn, and a oeno gallery.

Frederic Picard the winemaker originally from Burgundy and graduated with a degree in winemaking from Lycee of Beaune. He has worked in Niagara, California, Chile, South Africa, Italy, and France.

Wine tasting is a flight of 3 wines for $8 or a single taste for $3. The County Lifestyle Series, Hand Crafted Series, and Heritage Series are three choices.

I go for the County Lifestyle Series and try the Riesling, Vidal, and Rose. As you sit tasting the wines with the vineyard right in front of you, you feel the connection to the grape and the wine you are tasting.

My favorite is the Vacay Vidal. It is the party wine for any spicy food.
