Grape U-Pick Orchards in Northeast Ottawa, Ontario in 2024, by county

Below are the U-Pick orchards and farms for grapes that we know of in this area.

Not all areas of a province or region have grapes orchards that are open to the public. If you know of any others, please tell us using the add a farm form!

Remember to always check with the farm's own website or Facebook page before you go - or call or email them if they don't have a website or Facebook page. Conditions at the farms and crops can change literally overnight, so if you want to avoid a wasted trip out there - check with the farm directly before you go! If I cannot reach them, I DON'T GO!
