Rick and Amy Barr live on the farm, where they keep bouncy flocks of fluffy sheep, tend fields of heritage raspberry bushes and magic up two fine fruit wines. Call ahead to arrange a tour of the farm and a tasting (adults $10) to discover their raspberry red and rhubarb white. Ripe handpicked raspberries are at the centre of The Other Red, a refreshing off-dry summer fruit wine and The Barb features red rhubarb in a coral blend of citrus, honey and flowers. Pick up several bottles direct from the farm or find it in select liquor stores.
If you’re open to trying unconventional wines made without grapes, you’ll want to check out Rick and Amy’s winery, located in the middle of their farm, amongst the sheep. You can take a tour of the estate for a small fee and learn how their raspberry and rhubarb wines have made a name for themselves.
