Long Dog is one of the best wineries in the county. James has great stories to tell while being a first rate wine maker.

We visited multiple wineries in the PEC area and this one was underwhelming. Felt like we were intruding, as another reviewer mentioned, as the hostess was not very warm or informative. The wines were not bad, but none of them stood out to us. The daschund, Fern, is very cute and the decoration of the tasting room is quite unique. However, thought Exultet, Half Moon, and Lighthall (all in the same area) had much more tasty Pinots and Chardonnays.

Well worth a visit. This winery has an excellent array of whites and reds. Their Chardonnay is particularly tasty.

You walk from the parking lot down a short trial to the tasting and retail building...sort of felt like following the rabbit down the path.Tasty Chardonnay - stood out as wine of my choosing!

My wife and I came across this winery 2 years ago on a weekend getaway and decided to pay a return visit and stock up!... A small boutique type spot out of the way has limited selections of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay but they are very good and reasonably priced. The owners were friendly, courteous and welcoming. We had our "LONG DOG" with us and he was made to feel very much at home!

Had great experiences at so many local wineries, but here it just felt like we were interrupting their day.

We were planning on going to many wineries, but ended up going to just this one. The wine is that good and James is an amazing winemaker, in addition to being a jack of all trades. Highly recommended.

Walking in this winery, the first things that I noticed was that they only had two varietals: Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, and that the youngest Pinot Noir was 2008... Hummm! This place is serious...Their 2010 Chardonnay Belle Reserva was the perfect balance of fruit and oak ageing, unlike some of the big name wineries around Wellington and Hillier that produce plank juice. Since James the winemaker was around, we started talking and finally wound up in the winery across the road where we sampled 2010 Pinot Noirs that were.... Well! I'll say it: AMAZING. Not amazing for PEC. Just amazing, period. I would compare to the best first growths in Burgundy. Something like a Beaune, Les Grèves... Compared to the anemic Pinot Noirs of Wellington, this was heaven. Can't wait for James to bottle the 2010...

Love going to Long Dog when we are in PEC, the location is isolated and full of old world charm, their Pinots are fantastic, and if you find the owner he'll charm you with his passion and his stories. Great place to go tasting and buying a few bottles or a case.

We loved the wine here and found the owner to be very interesting and engaging. We were the only ones there for the majority of our stay so we got all of his attention but it was well worth the trip. We bought several bottles and are still enjoying the wine.
