Things to Do

Pinery Market

The Pinery Market has been a Sunday destination for over 50 years. Located in Grand Bend, a small beach town on Lake Huron, this large market truly has something for everyone!

The Market originated as a very small collection of antique vendors in 1960’s. In those days, vendors displayed their wares on the ground in the blazing sun. Now, over 50 years later, the market has beautiful mature oak trees that create a shaded park. A perfect setting to shop, eat and relax while listening to live entertainment in our licensed area at Tuck’s Gas Bar.

Today, the Sunday Market houses the traditional flea market, as well as unique, handcrafted vendors, food vendors, and a farmers market. Special events, such as Bark-toberfest and Ice Cream Festival and several more are held on Sundays throughout the season.

Open every Sundays 9am-4pm, beginning the first Sunday in May 5th until Thanksgiving, Oct 13th. Rain or Shine!

It all started with alcohol, an industry that hasn’t evolved since prohibition. It’s still ruled by huge liquor companies that spend big to get their products on the liquor shelves and in bars. And you’re stuck with their choices. Sketchy ingredients, too much sugar, outdated aesthetics, and too many hangovers. Something needed to change, and as wine makers and grape farmers, we knew alcohol could be different. It can come right from the farms, not factories. It can be fermented naturally and made with real fruits and not artificial flavours. So we created our own alcohol brand. We made our first batch of Cider in our two-car garage from fresh pressed apples from the farm. Today each bottle and can are still handcrafted by our family in Thedford — we’re proud to be making something you can feel good about drinking.
