Rossignol Estate Winery

Prince Edward Island


For wine tasting on a grand scale, cruise over to Little Sands, 9km from the Wood Islands Ferry, where Rossignol Estate Winery has free tastings and specializes in fruit wines. The blackberry mead has won a string of gold medals and the wild rose liqueur made from rose hips is also well worth a try; call ahead for winter hours.
