Redstone Vineyard

Redstone is wonderful! So disappointed they discontinued their brunch. It was great. The venue is gorgeous. The food and wine is always great! The staff is always attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. When I’m in town I always try to come here. My whole family loves it.

Small menu with exclusively house and Tawse wines. My wife and I determined that we each could have ordered just about everything — it was hard to choose. Service was a bit slow to start owing to two or three large (12+) groups, but more than made up for it by the quality of the food. Started with (1) short rib and foie gras terrine and (2) seared scallop with lentils, smoked ham and watercress purée, each of which had great depth of flavour. Mains were: (1) pan roasted halibut with braised pork tortellini in a savoury pork broth — nice Asian influence; tortellini were more reminiscent of tender dumplings; and (2) smoked pork butt with chestnut and squash ragout — marked departure from a typical slow braised/​pulled pork. Desserts were (1) rhubarb crisp (surprising since out of season in April, but delicious) accompanied by amazing cardamom ice cream; and (2) a dense chocolate and peanut terrine — perfect rich ending to the meal. Would return in a heartbeat … oh, and the slow service to start was further overcome by the complimentary ice wine from our server to finish.

Beautify location, obviously no expense spared on the design and décor. Wait staff had to be flagged down for every minor thing. Very inattentive. Heard great things about the pink salt cured burger, sadly it was removed due to people not understanding that even though it looked pink, it was actually cooked. Burger on the menu was fine, nothing exciting. Only compliant. The roll was twice the size of the burger, so many mouthfuls were bread only. Lamb poutine was lovely and delightful. These items were from the bar menu. The regular dinner menu was rather esoteric and VERY pricy.
Manager for the evening was exceptional.

We visited this vinery for the first time today. Modern design, nice service and very good food. The burger my friend had was delicious, as well as my arugula salad with duck and walnut dressing. The mussels come in a delicious broth with a big side plate of fries.
There is a big patio outside where you can enjoy a drink or have your meal, inside is a big dining room. The view from the patio is gorgeous.
I would give it 5 star if not ridiculously high vine prices in the restaurant.

It was a quiet afternoon around 4 pm. We ordered a charcuterie board and a pizza to share between two people. The charcuterie board had four pieces of meat and three ounces of cheese for $ 24. The pizza didn’t come. We left after 55 minutes. Avoid this place. Mediocre food and terrible service.

Redstone Winery is an offshoot of Tawse Winery. What started out as a vineyard, ended up as a flashy branch of the Tawse Empire.
The winery is both impressive and a disappointment. It is slick, modern, and reminiscent of every other winery with deep pockets that has built a slick, modern winery in the last couple of years. It is both a brilliantly designed winery and an impersonal building at the same time.
The bigger disappointment here is the wine. It is simply ok, where the prices suggest something else. The staff tries to suggest how great the wine is (service is very good), yet it isn’t. There are too many places nearby that are making equal or better wine at a better price point. (I do not know if this type of expansion suggests the ultimate corporatization of all wines in this area, however, for the time being there are still smaller and better options.)
I will be back, yet for the time being will continue to visit Malivoire and other spots for wine.

Very slick modern tasting room with the restaurant attached. The wines are definitely on the pricey side starting at 30 and up to 50 and 60 but I can’t tell you that they’re worth the money. While reasonably good there’s no way that these wines command that type of price. Also I felt that wine tastings were 4 pretty stingy pours for eight dollars -?honestly seems like a bit of a rip off. No passion here just commercial.
With all the variety of really good wineries around I would not keep Redstone on the list.
