GIBBS HONEY LOCATION MAP

Start your visit to Gibbs Honey with an Immersive Tour of our home apiary, hives, honey house and wildflower meadows. This guided, hands-on experience is led by Russell Gibbs, expert beekeeper and involves:

  • Viewing the dance of the bees
  • Queen spotting
  • Finding eggs
  • Using a smoker
  • Getting a glimpse into the intricate workings of a hive

After meeting our bees, we'll host you in our historic barn for a Honey Tasting led by Andrea Glenn, co-owner of Gibbs Honey and Canada's first fully accredited Honey Sommelier, admitted to the Italian Register. During this session we'll:

  • Taste a carefully curated selection of unique single varietal honey from around the world
  • Practice honey tasting methods, discovering how different flowers and terroir give each honey unique characteristics and distinct flavour
  • Sample Mielo, our new all natural non-alcoholic aperitif
  • Finish the experience with a delicious slice of our homemade honey cake

This is the perfect event for friends weekends, team building, birthdays, showers or as a part of your visit to the beautiful Vankleek Hill area. We're located a scenic one hour drive from Ottawa, Montreal or Cornwall.

Total tour time is approximately 2.5 hrs. Maximum group size of 10.

Once you've selected your date, we'll contact you to coordinate all the details. To save time, you can print and sign our waiver in advance:
