KINGSTON -- Wineries are still waiting to find out just when they can open to the public for tours and tastings during the COVID-19 pandemic.
However, that doesn’t mean they are not making plans to be ready for when you can come by. “By Chadsey’s Caines” in Prince Edward County has been owned by Richard Johnston and his wife Vida for over 20 years, and they say this has been a year like no other.
Still, they plan to open when allowed to. “Pouring wine is the hardest part,” says Richard. “Because how do you keep that safe?
Both for our servers and for our customers.” The winery does not sell their product in the LCBO, and Johnston says 95 per cent of their business comes from tourism each year.
