Amanda's Winery: One of Our Favourite Stops in Prince Edward County
If you're planning a wine outing during your stay at Lilac Lakehouse, Amanda's Vineyards is one of the places we genuinely enjoy recommending. Located in the eastern part of Prince Edward County, just a few minutes from Lake on the Mountain, this family-owned winery offers a relaxed pace that feels true to this part of the County.
Founded by Mihai Geangalau, the winery focuses on carefully crafted wines inspired by the local terroir, and visitors are invited to enjoy tastings while taking in the peaceful vineyard surroundings.
One of the things we appreciate most is that visiting Amanda's doesn't feel rushed. It's a wonderful place to slow down, enjoy a tasting, and spend some time outdoors before continuing your day exploring the area. For guests looking to experience Prince Edward County's celebrated wine region without feeling overwhelmed, it's an easy recommendation.
Why We Love It
A Relaxed, Family-Owned Winery
Prince Edward County is home to more than 40 wineries, each with its own personality, and Amanda's Vineyards stands out for its welcoming, family-run atmosphere. The winery reflects the passion of its founder and showcases wines that express the character of the region's cool-climate vineyards.
We often recommend it to guests who enjoy discovering places where the experience feels personal rather than busy. It's the kind of stop where you can take your time, chat with the people behind the wines, and enjoy the beautiful countryside.
Beautiful County Scenery
Even if you're not planning to purchase several bottles, it's worth visiting simply to enjoy the setting. The vineyard offers lovely views and peaceful surroundings that encourage you to linger a little longer after your tasting. For us, it's one of those places that reminds us why we love living in Prince Edward County.
What You'll Find
Wine Tastings - Amanda's Vineyards offers visitors the opportunity to sample a selection of its handcrafted wines in the tasting room. The wines reflect Prince Edward County's distinctive limestone-rich terroir and cool-climate growing conditions that have made the region well known among Ontario wine lovers.
The tasting experience is relaxed and approachable, making it enjoyable whether you're already familiar with County wines or trying them for the first time.
Vineyard Views - One of our favourite parts of visiting is simply spending a few quiet moments looking out across the vineyard. There is something calming about slowing down with a glass of wine while enjoying the open landscape. It's a pleasant change of pace after a morning of sightseeing or before heading to dinner elsewhere in the County.
A Genuine Local Experience - Because Amanda's is family owned, it has a welcoming feel that reflects what we love about many of Prince Edward County's small businesses. It offers visitors an opportunity to experience local winemaking in a setting that feels authentic and relaxed.
Why We Recommend It to Our Guests
Every guest has a different idea of the perfect day in Prince Edward County. Some enjoy visiting as many wineries as possible, while others prefer one or two relaxed stops with plenty of time to enjoy the surroundings. Amanda's Vineyards works beautifully for either approach.
We like recommending places that feel welcoming, showcase the people behind the business, and give visitors a chance to slow down. Amanda's checks all of those boxes.
It's also close enough to Lilac Lakehouse that it fits easily into a half-day outing, leaving plenty of time to return for an evening by the waterfront, enjoy dinner on the patio, or simply watch the sunset from the dock.
Those slower moments are often the ones our guests remember most.
