we found the the atmosphere to be very family oriented, friendly service, excellent quality wines and foods. It is well worth the effort to visit Sanson Estate Winery, We purchased 5 bottles of wine and assorted meat products all of which proved to be of the best quality and well worth the investment. We will endeavor to make another trip from Toronto to visit and purchase.

We had a wonderful visit to create a very inexpensive couple of hours of fun. My son (8) and I (29) went to visit the Museum and were treated to a personal guided tour with experienced staff. In my opinion the place looks a lot like a mechanics hanger as well as a historic museum and functions to teach both theory of flight, mechanics of flight, and history of military in the area. Great for tourist and Windsorites alike.

This is a must visit winery when in the area and locals should join their club! The facility and property are inviting and beautiful. They have wine tastings (of course), a gift shop, take out lunch, a sandy beach and amazing staff. They do everything right. Ignore any negative reviews about their tasting experience or arriving on a busy day. This is a well run family business that creates a very inviting experience with knowledgeable staff. Yes you might catch a busy day but that's life. I live two hours away and joined their club because Sprucewood Shores makes great wine and delivers an assortment of wines 4 times a year to members. You don't pay a high monthly or annual fee...you just pay for the wine they send you...and they offer free wine tastings to members and their guests. My girlfriend and I enjoy our visits and we thank Tanya, Dave, Melanie and Robin for making each visit warm and welcoming. Oh and btw they have been rated one of Canada's top 10 wineries.

We were planning a multi-generational day out (parents, grandparents and child (12 yrs old) and found saw this museum on Trip Advisor. Having grown-up in Tecumseh, I was surprised to learn about this gem of a place. We decided to take a tour of both the transportation museum and the heritage village and were so glad we did. Although we all enjoyed the museum, it was particularly fun for my parents to see cars from their youth and my daughter loved the 1927 caravan. It was enlightening to see all the local links to this industry - well beyond what I had known growing up in this automotive area. The museum guide was very knowledgeable and answered the numerous questions we had. Once the tour was done, we went back around to read the various placards and look at our favourites again before going to the Hertiage Village outside. The Village is small - approx. 15 buildings but they are in good condition and well presented so you feel you have stepped back in time. We particularly enjoyed the schoolhouse and the Jack Miner house. The Village is a good walk from the museum and might be a bit of a challenge for the elderly or those with mobility issues. The steps into buildings were also a bit difficult for my father who is in his late 80s. However, we all thoroughly enjoyed the visit. We spent 2hrs and easily could have spent 3.

The Colin Estate Winery is a beautiful location for a stop on your wine tour. The tasting room is large and roomy and the hosts most accommodating. Here you can taste up to 4 complimentary wines for free and they do make some great wines here. In addition to their nice array of whites and reds they do make the Girls Night Out line of wines with less alcohol and a much fruitier taste. For me the crisp whites are well priced and quite tasty and it is a good place to stop at on a wine tour or just out and about in Essex County.
