Riverlot Orchards Winery and Bistro

The staff was very attentive and the menu was fantastic! The wine selection was top-notch. This restaurant is a lovely spot for either lunch or dinner.

With the beautiful weather, lunch was nice on the terrace. The winery is very eclectic and a completely different menu. We were a little disappointed when there was no soup and no packs. The thin crust pizzas are wonderful and we also enjoyed the...seeds. You have to say that the coffee was not very good.

It was a one-of-a-kind experience to dine by the river in a small medieval castle. The menu was anything but ordinary, and it was truly a delight to try something different.

We learned about Riverlot Orchards Winery and Bistro from a friend, and as two couples, we decided to make the 75-minute drive from Saskatoon to visit. It was a sunny day, so we sat on the outdoor terrace and enjoyed the beautiful view of the South Saskatchewan River. Upon arrival, we were given three darts to throw at the dart board to hit number 9 (September being the 9th month) in order to win a glass of wine. It was a nice and fun way to welcome us. Two of us were successful, so we were able to taste some fruit wine before ordering a bottle for the table. The service was friendly and attentive, and we never felt rushed during our two-hour lunch. We chose the Chokecherry medium sweet wine, which was delicious for those who enjoy fruit wine. Two of us ordered the perogies with cream sauce, sausage, and salad, while the other two had the meatloaf and pork pie. The meals arrived together and were all tasty. For dessert, we shared two slices of gravel cake, which were moist and delightful. The meal ended with hot coffee. Riverlot Orchards is a unique restaurant and winery in rural Saskatchewan, open from June to September, Thursday through Sunday. We made our reservation online, which was seamless. The total bill came to $142 before tip, which we thought was reasonable for a nice restaurant with a bottle of wine (only $25 per bottle). Overall, we highly recommend visiting Riverlot Orchards and hope to return next year.

If you are in the area on a beautiful summer day, this is a nice little place to go for wine and cheese, coffee and dessert or a meal. Set on the banks of the South Saskatchewan river, we enjoyed relaxing on the patio with...a beautiful view overlooking the water. The staff were pleasant and seemed to be working to make the place feel a bit special with things like linen table cloths and napkins and relaxing music.We sampled their wines. Preferred the Honeysuckle. The chicken pie was nice but on the small side for most guys. The crepe with fruit filling was nice. Honey cake was tasty. Pick your day weather wise and enjoy the beauty of nature there. Funny thing is..they have a beautiful pet parrot out front that we got to hold. Their hours are limited so check the website before you go.
