Wine Cellar
In front of the main building, our underground wine cellar represents a trip back to 1951 and the foundation of the building that once housed the original Elmhirst Store. Walk down the steps, through the heavy wooden door, and behold our collection of Ontario and Canadian vintages that line the walls. Our cellar also provides a wonderful backdrop for wedding celebrations and anniversaries.
