The Old Third Vineyard - Hillier, Ontario

Local here from the area and recently saw a bad review for The Old Third. I was very confused because the review mentioned how this family business deserved a 1 star review due to the $14 glasses and “supermarket” burrata. I just wanted to leave my own 5 star review for The Old Third. I think what tourists need to remember is this is a small community of people, we are not in a commercialized Toronto market. All ingredients are authentic and pasta is made from scratch that morning. If a $14 glass is expensive to you, you will find most wineries very expensive. Small businesses like this thrive off good reviews and also, this is a pasta bar for LUNCH. Not a full gourmet dinner. I can barely finish even my lunch size so I think reviews based on portion sizes vary for the customer. I recommend tourists coming to the area to check out the social media platforms to see if you’ll enjoy your time.

Anyways, thanks again Jens, Bruno, Steph, Alicia and Jenna for the amazing hospitality. We always enjoy coming for the pasta and great chard!

We chose The Old Third to be our lunch spot to break up our day of wine tastings. What a fantastic place for lunch. Three fantastic pasta dishes to pick from. The pasta was outstanding. With a lovely glass of pinot noir from the vineyard

We had an unforgettable experience at One Third! The pasta was absolutely to die for—bursting with amazing flavors. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making our visit even more special. This is a place we’ll recommend forever. Can’t wait to return!

A fantastic experience at Old Third. Our group was hungry in the middle of our wine tour and our guide suggested grabbing a meal here. The barn is beautiful, and the variety of pasta dishes were so tasty and exquisite. We had a great time, and would love to go back.

Went on a Sunday, around 1530hrs. We have a party of 4 people. It is a winery based in a renovated barn, so it has a nice vibe to it. The lady at reception was very friendly and nice. However thats about all the good things I can say about this establishment.

1) The lady at the reception did not say that the food is going to be self-collect until I gave the tips. Knowing that before hand will be helpful.

2) The individual plates of food were really heavy and hot. However, the staff and chef just stare at me struggling to carry both plates on my own, instead of offering some form of help such as providing a tray to carry the plates of food with. I had to phone my wife to come down from level 2 to help me with the food.

3) Certain portion of the food tasted extremely salty as compared to others, so I assume that the chef did not spread the salt out well while cooking her food, which is a very basic skill to have when you expect people to pay at lest $20 for each plate of your pasta.

Overall nice ambience, but totally not worth the money you going to spend here. Total bill add up to $90 for two plates of pasta and two glasses of 5oz wine.

Les pâtes sont délicieuses, certes, mais le reste de l’expérience a été décevant. Le service était froid, il ne restait presque plus d’options de repas et de boissons bien que nous sommes arrivées à 13h30 et il fallait payer pour avoir de l’eau.

Nous avons essayé un pinot noir qui accompagnait bien les pâtes, mais il ne valait pas le prix payé.

Superlative Pinot, the finest cab, and easily the most refined cider in the county - probably Canada.

Restaurant serves homemade pastas in a gorgeously renovated barn. This is an essential stop for anyone visit Prince Edward county.

Gets very busy during the weekends at peak hours! Plan accordingly

Stylish rustic barn, good wine, and comforting fresh pasta! Would come back again.
