Freddie Rae - Sourced, Cellared, Shared
British-born sommelier Freddie Rae came to Prince Edward County after working as a sommelier in Manchester and Toronto. He spent five vintages at Norman Hardie, rising to Assistant Winemaker. He now makes wine under his own County-based label, Skimming Bird, which will soon be on local restaurant menus. He also hosts intimate pairing dinners with chef Enid Grace, each one built around a different wine region.
Freddie also leads private and corporate tastings for groups of 10–24, at your rental, a lakeside cottage or a venue of your choice. Each tasting lasts two to three hours and follows a theme, with wines he chooses for what they say about where and how they were made. It’s relaxed and conversational, with plenty of room for questions and the odd friendly disagreement. You can add a charcuterie pairing or bring in a private chef for a full dinner. It works well for celebrations, team events or friends who simply want to learn more about what’s in their glass.

a healing table
Experience Attraction
Reflexology helps more than sore, achy feet. It helps the whole body.
Applying pressure to areas of the feet corresponding to every organ & system in the body, results in an overall calmness - a place for the body & mind to heal.
Following a reflexology treatment, the body’s systems network better. Acute & chronic issues often alleviate or heal completely by simply calming the nervous system.
