One the nicest places to go for lunch with friends. Consistently good food and service. Either enjoy the outdoor seating in the grounds or indoors.

Loved the setting. Close to Nelson, a 15 or less minute drive. Nice gift shop, wine tasting bar, cheese shop nearby. Eating outside in the garden was wonderful. Beautiful flowers and animals (bunnies and an alpaca nearby). Great menu. We went back twice. Does not open until 10 am but serves brunch. Nice menu. Should not miss

Lovely spot on a sunny day in the garden area. Good choice of food for meals and for coffee and cake. Indoor area can be noisy if there are groups.

Grape Escape offers a lovely outdoor eating area which we enjoyed on this particular sunny Sunday. My Caesar Salad was very nice.
