Having done several wine tastings in "the county", Karlo Estates stands out by pairing tastes with each of its wines - linked to a cheese, nut, meat, etc. Knowledgeable and enthusiastic staff, beautiful setting, and excellent wines! If you only have time to visit a couple of wineries, make sure you do this one! I will definitely be back next... More

The reuse of a century barn for a winery and tasting room is amazing. Our host was very knowledgeable and friendly - not to mention the cuddly resident cat! We tasted five of the ten wines available and ended up taking 3 bottles home - the White Port is wonderful! We will be returning in warmer weather when we can... More

Karlo Estates Winery was our last stop and we lucked out that they were still open since we reached there at 6pm on the dot or maybe a minute late. They were already about to close but still welcomed us in as their last customers. The wine tasting is free which is a big plus. The staff also explains the... More

Small group tour this past weekend at Karlo Estates in Prince Edward County. Karlo Estates was one of the most memorable wineries we visited on the tour. A unique tasting setting in an old barn which was surprisingly cozy. Our hostess for the tasting was a lovely European girl, Anna, she was very informative and pleasant. We ended up purchasing...

We hosted a small group wine tour to Prince Edward County in June and again in October. Our visit to Karlo Estates was definitely a highlight for both groups. It's a beautiful setting - the barn, the gallery/tasting loft and the unique mortarless bridge. Our welcoming host, Sherry Martin, was wonderful and her wine seminar was entertaining and educational.

Phenomenal experience, fun crowd, it was packed, friendly and knowledgeable staff and above all a complete experience! It was busy, but we got a sit in the back bar and the girl who helped us, was friendly and explained the wine and cheese/meat/nut pairing for each tasting. You really get to enjoy the full flavour of the wine when you... More

Having heard about their port from our wine tour host, we visited Karlo Estates on our own the following day. Our host, who was suffering from a day old bee sting, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable, easy to speak with and very capably represented the vineyard. The barn was remarkable and the grounds beautiful. The port, as with their... More
