Muscedere Vineyards - Harrow, Ontario

Fabian P.

It’s worth driving to the Harrow area if you are looking for a great place to enjoy wood fired pizza and a very nice selection of wines. Muscedere Vineyards offers both. The family has been in the wine business for a long time and has earned a reputation for consistently good harvests and some award winning vintages. Melissa is very knowledgeable and able to discuss the entire process from harvest to bottling, but really the entire family is involved in the business. In addition to the wines, many regular customers visit the vineyard specifically for the wonderful pizza menu. Pizzas are made fresh to order, using delicious (often locally sourced) toppings. In the backyard of the Muscedere family home, there is a large covered patio with numerous tables where you can enjoy eating and drinking without fear of rain or too much sun exposure. Of course, it’s your choice if you prefer to enjoy a table in direct sunshine, or perhaps find a quieter seating area under a nearby pergola. There’s a good chance that you may catch a glimpse of the family’s friendly cats and their cute well behaved dog. Inside the wine store, you will find a good selection of wines. They also offer several delicious gelato desserts which I strongly recommend. There is an abundance of parking and the long gravel driveway is well maintained in comparison to some other vineyards with many potholes.

Our first time in Niagara, got introduced to this lovely lady Melissa Muscedere, who was pouring her Syrah at Carl's Wine Club pan Canadian masterclass.
Well, we were blown away by the Syrah, and when Melissa asked us if we wanted to come visit.. 4 hour drive one way.. well "sure!" And it was my wife's and my anniversary to boot.
In the car, easy drive, arrive in Essex county to a balmy 35C, melting..
We got some amazing treatment, tried basically every wine that was on offer (while in the A/C), and even partook in a fresh made pizza in the outdoor patio space later.
As for the wines.. there was a reason for this drive, and the wines did not disappoint. One of the warmest places in Canada does an amazing job ripening CS, Syrah, and other varieties on the property. As a nod to their Italian roots, they are even growing a Nebbiolo, and a Barbaresco CS blend.
Many of the wines earn an Outstanding, making this place well worth the visit, if you are totally into geeking out about the wine, or just want a nice patio to enjoy a basic PG with some fresh Italian pizza.

It's a great place to have a good time. Great pizza and wine. Kid friendly, they have goats, chickens and a playground.

This vineyard restaurant was very charming, with a beautiful outdoor dining space. We were mostly there for the pizza, which did not disappoint. It was delicious—thin crust, well-prepared, with the dough itself being very tasty and perfectly cooked. The staff were also very friendly.

If you’re coming with kids, there are some nice activities for them, including swings and goats and other animals to look at. Overall, we had a very nice experience here.

A real gem! Warm, inviting backyard for dining and wine tasting. Family-run, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We stopped for an afternoon pizza (delicious) and wine tasting and are planning to go back soon.

What a wonderful welcoming experience! Fabulous food. Amazing wine!
We had the '22 Rosé , along with a Blanco pizza, and a Muscedere pizza (with hot peppers, if you please, for the authentic experience!)

Highly recommend that you get there while the pizza patio is open for the season!❤️

What a beautiful, quiet and friendly place to escape to! My friend and I were so relaxed and loved our glass of wine, sitting outside in such a lovely space. Our first time visiting this vineyard and definitely won't be our last. I picture even a stop on my own to decompress with a wonderful Cab Merlot and enjoy the nature and animals relaxing and grazing. Thank you Melissa for providing the hospitality that suits Muscdere's. See you again soon!
