Delicious beers, amazing location, and awesome staff! I was able to visit here on a Tuesday afternoon while in town for the Limitless retreat. Since it was a weekday, it was a quiet afternoon, but I could tell the place gets hopping at the large patio space out front. Next time I'm in the area, I'll plan my trip around time to be here for an event (or two). Enjoyed a flight with a tasty range in beer styles and flavors. Hard to pick a favorite as each had their own unique high points. Although the crème brulé stout was a delicious treat. My favorite part was chatting with the team about the area and the history of the brewery. Come in once and you'll be a regular!
I had been wanting to visit this brewery for a while and finally went and some things were great others a little disappointing. First off the most disappointing aspect is that the brewery was recently acquired by Steam Whistle so nothing is brewed on site anymore, it's all done in Toronto, so you can't see the brewing operation. They did however have 8 beers on tap including this time around the iconic Lugtread, a Lugtread light, a sour, a stout, a red and a few IPAs. All of them were quite good and you can order by the pint or sample in flights of 4. They had several of the bees in cans also so you can take some with you. They also serve snacks and food. They have nice Beau's schwag for sale too including Ts, caps, hoodies, beer glasses and mugs amongst other things. They had a few hot sauces made with their beer and the one we bought was amazing. On the cool side too now is part of the area has been taken over by Dunrobin distillery and you can try and buy their products on-site. They had vodkas, rhums, whiskeys, and gins, etc and the ones I tried were quite interesting. There is a small parking, clean washrooms and In the summer they make an outdoor terrace area.
Beau's is a perfect place to stop for lunch with plenty of interior and exterior seating. They offer limited sandwich options but there are extremely flavorful. A wide variety of uniquely named beers to drink onsite or bring home. A live band entertains some afternoons. You might get lucky and meet Magna, their sweet rescue dog.
Beau's has been my favourite brewery for the last decade. Finally experiencing the brewery in-person was an absolute pleasure. The bar staff were attentive and detailed in their description of the beers, making appropriate recommendations based on my stated preferences. The highlight of the day was tasting the beers which are not widely available (& not sold in any LCBO or Beer Store). I sampled a flight of 4 which included: Night Märzen, Double Juiced, Curse of Knowledge, and Gravity Well. My ABSOLUTE FAVOURITE was Curse of Knowledge. This is one of the best brews I have ever enjoyed! Beau's was unfortunately sold out of this brew (but I can understand why) so I purchased my go-to beer, Wonder Crush. Looking forward to finding an opportunity to go back to see if I can get my hands on some Curse of Knowledge. I highly recommend spending an afternoon at Beau's Brewery.
Came here on our way to Montreal to break up the drive a bit. What a cool stop off of the highway. The staff was very friendly and their outdoor patio is extremely inviting with the vines growing all over it. Our daughter loved the tractors and that she was allowed to play on them. Beer selection was pretty good, though I was hoping for something darker. Their artwork on the beer labels is pretty good, made it pretty tempting to buy a shirt. We got an amber and a Juiced AF. Both were quite good, perfect for the warm weather. I definitely would come back.
Awesome pit stop. Had some food like chips and sandwiches but maybe there is more on the menu. Patio was great. Nice facilities and staff too. Oh and Beaus on tap is 100 percent better than cans in store speaking personally. I can't explain it but their beer in house tastes so fresh.
The beer is absolutely delicious here! Great staff and vibe. Highly recommend.
Today, Beaus. Need I say more? Beau's had us over for a full tasting and experience at their brewery and it was one of the most incredible brew-day I had in a long time. Laura, their taproom manager was so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and service oriented, she herself made the experience a 5 star one. The products are amazing. Beaus really worries about the quality of the beers they brew and are very cautious about how the whole process in their facilities. The brewery is impeccable, super clean. Their Halcyon Barrel aged beers are very creative and unique in taste. I am so happy I spent the afternoon at Beau's with my peeps. Definitely a top experience I cannot wait to repeat! Thank you Beaus! Thank you Laura! ///// Aujourd'hui, Beaus. Est-ce que j'ai besoin d'en dire plus? Beaus nous a reçu pour une expérience et dégustation complète à leur brasserie et c'était de loin une des meilleures journée-bière que j'ai eu depuis longtemps. Laura, leur gestionnaire de bar était gentille, accueillante, informée et orientée à fournir un excellent service client. Son service a rendu l'expérience une journée 5 étoiles. Les produits sont extraordinaires. Beaus se préoccupe de la qualité des bières brassées et fait prend de grandes précautions tout le long du processus de brassage. Leurs bières Halcyon Barrel barriquées sont créatives et toutes uniques. Je suis heureuse d'avoir passé mon après-midi chez Beaus avec les miens. Définitivement une expérience extraordinaire que j'ai très hâte de répéter. Merci Beaus! Merci Laura! . . #beer #craftbeer #beerstagram #instabeer #beerlover #beergeek #beers #party #cheers #brewery #ipa #beerlovers #drinklocal #love #instagood #beerblog #beergirl #craftbeergirl #craftbeerlife #beergirl #drinkbeer #ladiesthatlovethecraft #beerlove #craftloyal #drinkcraft #goodbeer #beausallnatural #beaus #ontariobeer #ontariocraftbeer #ontario

Highly recommend for anyone looking for quality, eco-friendly products! 💚 As a family trying to reduce plastic use, I am incredibly impressed that their packaging is almost entirely plastic-free—just a little tape on the box. I also love how the seasonal soap varies and everything smells exactly as described, without any harsh chemicals (another thing we are trying to avoid)! We’ve also been loving their all-natural home products—the dish soap works great, but it does leave a film if you do not rise in fully, and my husband swears by their shampoo bars. Plus, from what I understand, they source ingredients ethically and locally whenever possible.
Little cute soap shop with amazing garden and a cutest and friendliest cat! We are a big fan of their foaming hand soap as well; it feels nice, refreshing and moisturizing after the hand wash, and the scent is divine! A hit while visiting Vankleek Hill!
Black Raspberry Body Butter I absolutely love the smell and feel of this body butter. As an outdoor enthusiast, my hands are always exposed to the element leaving them dry and rough. The health of my skin has noticeably improved since using this product. I am very satisfied with Tara's products once again!
We did the Blooms and Bath Tea experience. Amazing! The gardens are magical filled with amazing native perennials in full bloom. Tara is so engaging and knowledgeable. No detail was left out from the garden tour, lavender labyrinth, brunch box courtesy of the Broken Kettle and her workshop where we made our bath tea. You walk in embraced by the fragrance of essential oils and friendly staff. Highly recommend for a day getaway!! Ty for your hospitality Tara! See you soon. 😊🌻🐝
Me and my family have been buy hand soap and detergent for years from here and have spent lots of $$$$ to support. But after the last time we got hand soap and all our hands got have been getting dry and we all got a rash on our hands pretty bad. Also the detergent is all vineagar now we are not able to use it. Its sad because they put $$$$ over quality.
This local shop makes great soap and bath products in an environmentally conscience way. Our family is a fan of their soaps, shampoo bars, and bath bombs. They smell great, are friendly to sensitive skin, and are consistently high quality. Many of the ingredients are locally sourced or even grown on site, and the palm oil that is in some of the products is sustainable and organic certified. The soap is wrapped in paper, so totally recyclable. They have products that are specially made for certain skin conditions, including a line of baby products and for rosacea. Online orders are fast, and shopping in the small shop at the farm is a delight.
I ordered several items the othere day to stock up, but first time using the dishsoap bar for the kitchen. I have never used a product like this before for so I had no expectations. One swipe with my wet kitchen sponge and I had more soap than I could imagine. The suds were still there 2 hours later on an item I was soaking. I am so please to be using an eco friendly product from one of my favorite local Ontario businesses. Thanks for these great products!
Tara is so lovely and her soaps are amazing. They smell so good I kind of want to eat them.

What an amazing discovery! Decided to drop in to try something new, and we we're not disappointed. A nice selection of wine to taste and a great menu for food. The family run business makes you feel at home, especially with the dogs and the cat greeting you. They have a great space to taste wine outdoors as much as indoors. They staff is very friendly and helpful. We will definitely return !
What can I say...absolutely gorgeous place! The wine is really fantastic and the food is out of this world...oven cooked pizza!!! So delicious! We had such a great day...relaxed under the tress ...stairing out to the vineyard...sipping wine and meeting new friends. 100% recommend!!
Amazing winery! We went for my friends birthday this weekend and everything was perfect. I tried a couple of wine flights as well as their wine slush. All the wines I tasted were fantastic. We also had lunch, I split the charcuterie board and a margherita pizza, which was perfect to split between 4 people. Everything was amazing! They apparently have live music events which I would definitely go back to see!
Look for the painted silo and you'll find the winery. They have some interesting items for sale in their shop. I recommend taking your wine to sit outside with a view of the vines but they do have interior seating. They were constructing an outdoor bar when we were there.
What a great get together with friends at this wonderful vineyard in Vankleek Hill, Ontario. A quick 50 minute drive from Montreal. Wonderful winds, food, service and experience.
Had a lovely afternoon visit to Vankleek Hill Enjoyed a bottle of the rose gris orange. Light and fruity chilled and paired with cheese platter. While they can’t guarantee vegan, the wines are gluten free. We brought a bottle of Pinot noir home for another day. There was a couple singing so the live music was nice under a tent. Great place to stop by and try the wine.
What a delightful venue! It's a fantastic spot to enjoy some wine outdoors. They offer a great variety of grapes, and you can try a flight alongside a delicious charcuterie and cheese board. We even had the pleasure of meeting one of the owners, whose passion for her vineyard truly shines through. They're open Thursday to Sunday, with corporate events available on other days. Definitely check it out!

Wonderful place. Went sept 28. Beautiful sunny day. Intricate maze. So well kept. Could not follow footprints to make it easier. Nice games for kids after the maze. Recommending to all my young and older friends. Thabk you for thinking about Terry Fox in your plans
Very beautyfull and authentic. Lots of different activities for kids under 16 years. We love the corn maze, been there the fourth year now. Fun to decover your own map while looking for your way out. My children are 2 to 5 years old, all three of them love to visit this place. Prices are moderate to high, but you find everything here. HotDogs & ice cream as well as pumpkins can be purchased. Activities are all in the entry ticket included. Fun outside games, gem stone digging, slides, jumping cushion, go cards can be driven by older children older. Mine are too short - still.
If I could give these folks 10 stars I would. A beautiful family farm that makes their farm your home away from home. I absolutely loved the maze. I can’t wait to do it again and again. This is a great place for kids with climbing walls, peddle racers and a very unique bouncing area. The staff are amazing and so lovely. This was my first first trip to the Ouimet farm but I promise not my last. **very LGBTQ friendly
this is the best corn maze I've been to. this year's design is for disney's 50th anniversary. it was so much fun to hunt for the mailboxes throughout the maze. each mailbox gives you a puzzle piece to complete the map. it took us about an hour to find all the mailboxes and cross over the bridge to exit the maze. we were there while it rained but still had a lot of fun. the farm also has a ton of other activities for kids. a great place for families to have fun the whole day. there are washrooms on site and you can buy food.
Super cute! Such a fantastic way to spend a Saturday or Sunday with the family. We brought a picnic and toured through the corn maze. It was so well done! The tractor bikes were a huge hit and we could barely get our little one off the giant pillow! Everything was clean, safe, and super fun for all.
Kids loved their corn maze, it said it'll take 1.5 to 2 hour to complete, but we did it in 1 hour 20 minutes (kids were running at times). They also have a pumpkin patch, wall climbing, upside down pillow for jumping and tractor race. One downside is their food selection are limited to hotdogs, coffee and hot chocolate (maybe some other beverage). But they give you coupons where you can go into town and come back afterwards. We had fun and will be back again, thanks Ouimet farm.
super nice adventure. finished the maze in an hour. other activites for the kids. pumpkins sell. giant jumping yellow blop. you can eat inside or outside of the maze. tractors and diamonds. the cashier super sweet. 3$ the pumpkin. fresh air. mud inside the maze prepare good shoes.
A wonderful family run farm, fresh products and friendly staff. Love the onsite popsilo; we discovered the popsilo tour from here, and began our popsilo hunt from the map they gave us!

A popular local drinking and community meeting spot. Really good food. Steak night on Friday. Wing night on Wednesdays. Lovely little town Vankleek Hill near Hawkesbury Ontario. Ask for Sheila. She is great to meet at the bar.
great atmosphere and the staff were excellent.Large tables for groups and many smaller ones as well. The food was good, and chicken wings were amazing.Needs a little more music vibe in the pool table area. It's an older style Tavern with some modern attributes . The stage is rather small, but TVs are large for catching a game or event on, and I find the pool table area smaller than should be. Offers local bands often who are nice to listen to.
Food was definitely not good, but the live band was entertaining and there was a good atmosphere.
The staff is absolutely amazing and friendly. They are very inviting and charming.
Our happy place every Friday
Just The best In Service and the Boss is the most Exellent and in Hte Family for Years and more
Large tables for groups. Food OK. Very pleasant servers. A little noisy but it is a bar so that is expected. Enjoyed the evening.
I went there on a Sunday evening and several people were taking turns playing their quitars and singing. It has a nice atmosphere and the patrons and the staff are friendly. Its an old style Tavern with some modern attributes such as a small stage, large TVs and a small games room. Note: The design of the front door and the windows make it look closed when it is in fact open. That is a typical feature of old taverns when the passing public was not supposed to look in and see people drinking in the establishment when they were walking by.

Such a wonderful place. It smells like heaven inside. It gets so hot in the summer summer you walk up to the top. The view is so stunning you won't really gwt one that beautiful anywhere around here. So lucky to have this place here in town.

Lovely restored lookout tower.
Nice historical building. The people managing it are very curtious and helpful.

Quaint gallery in an old house with lovely works of art. Makes for a nice outing to Vankleek Hill.
This is a great gallery to see local art. The exhibitions are well thought out and the staff and volunteers are terrific!
Exhibitions of exceptional local artists and artisans never disappoints. Gift shop for one-of-a-kind treasures by talented artisans is a delight and a real "find". A great place to spend an afternoon in an 1800's estate in the heart of the delightful town of Vankleek Hill.
A wonderful gallery set in a romantic, historical building within a beautiful country community! This gallery is filled with professional art as well as affordable, locally-made, unique crafts. A must-visit tourist attraction! And please do buy a keepsake or a pièce de résistance while you are there--some really great gift and home decor ideas are waiting for you in the boutique! Don't forget to take in the beautiful architecture of this 100+ year old building, and take a walk around outside and enjoy the trees and fresh air of the premises!
Amazing staff and a beautiful space with integrity. An unpretentious gallery and art centre which focuses on quality artwork and unique exhibitions !
Located in a historical house and filled with art from local artists. Beautiful and rustic. The curator has been with the gallery for many years. Amazing work Jessica!
Beautiful place, nice and cozy outside with stunning inside. It's definitely got a historical feel to it and a great place to visit as they have found a perfect way to work with the COVID restrictions in place.
Such a beautiful space. The shop they have carries local artists and artisans products for sale.
