The Hot Dogs at a Winery Thing

Every winery in Prince Edward County serves the same charcuterie board. Cured meats, a few cheeses, dried fruit, crackers. Don't get us wrong — we like a charcuterie board too. But we wanted to do something different.

So we serve hot dogs.

Not gas-station hot dogs. Gourmet all-beef hot dogs. Kimchi with chive mayo and toasted sesame. A mango salsa dog with house-made salsa and homegrown chives. And the classic done right with mustard, ketchup, sweet relish, and onion. They're $7 each — eat them on the patio with a wine flight and tell us they're not the best lunch you've had this week.

They're still the workhorse of the menu. But this year they share the patio with a whole spread of fresh, summery, globally-inspired plates built to eat with a glass of natural wine.

Garden-Sourced When We Can

The herbs on your plate didn't come out of a jar. We have gardens at the winery and we use them — dill and oregano in the popcorn, thyme on the whipped feta, basil on the pan tumaca, mint on the watermelon, cilantro and chives across the board. When something's in season and growing twenty feet from the kitchen, that's what's in your food.

It's not a "farm to table" marketing slogan. It's just how a small family winery in Prince Edward County does it when we have room for a garden and time to walk to it.

Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free

There's a real spread for plant-based and gluten-free guests — this isn't an afterthought. All of our wines are vegan. Vegan and gluten-free plates include the Garden Herb Popcorn and Watermelon Tajín; Pan Tumaca is vegan; Street Corn Nachos and the Ceviche Bowl are gluten-free; the Whipped Feta Dip and Ice Cream Sandwich are vegetarian. Ask your server — we're happy to point you to what works.

Best Time for Food

Lunch (11am–2pm): Quieter. Great for catching up with friends over hot dogs and a flight.

Mid-afternoon (2–4pm): Sun on the patio, full menu, full bar. Peak summer-day vibe.

Apres Beach (Sunday–Thursday, 4–6pm): Happy hour. Discounted piquette pours and wine slushies, plus hot dogs and nachos.

"The Wine Slushes, great on a hot day, and addictive!! … The concrete patio, it's nicely set up, for families, large groups, and is dog friendly and Poppy approved!"
