Rolling Grape Vineyard

Rolling Grape Vineyard feels like a wedding written into the countryside, with rows of vines rolling toward the horizon and the whole evening tilting toward sunset.

The vineyard sits on a family farm in Bailieboro, about twenty minutes south of Peterborough, with more than eleven acres of grapes growing around the celebration. It is the Kawarthas' first grape-to-glass vineyard, so the wine poured at dinner comes from the same hills guests looked out over during the vows.

The heart of the wedding is a large marquee, its roof lined with skylights and its sides left open, so the light and the greenery stay part of the room. Its palette is kept simple, white, timber and green, which lets couples layer their own colour and personality over a setting that already feels finished. Weddings here welcome up to 120 guests, and there are intimate packages for smaller celebrations too.

The day is supported by a team who work with each couple from the first plan to the last dance, so the practical details are handled while the couple stays inside the moment. The winery itself brings a restaurant, wood-fired pizza, a wine shop, tours and tastings to the property, along with a patio and live music, which gives a wedding a lived-in warmth rather than a rented one.

Picture the ceremony among the vines, the tent glowing as the hills go gold, and a glass of something grown a few steps away. For couples who want a country wedding with the vineyard as its storyteller, Rolling Grape offers a romantic Kawartha setting that feels both easy and unforgettable.
