What’s better than a charcuterie picnic? A sunset picnic with alpacas!

Settle into the serene beauty of our farm as the sun dips below the horizon and enjoy an award-winning Alpaca Sunset Picnic, where your dining companions aren’t a dog trying to swipe your food, but a herd of fluffy, curious alpacas greeting you with gentle charm. Savour a handcrafted selection of Ontario-made cheeses, fresh baguette, artisanal meats, snacks, and drinks, all while soaking in the magical golden-hour glow. And don’t worry—the alpacas won’t feel left out. You’ll have special feed just for them, so they can snack alongside you as you unwind into the evening. And, you can see the mini Highlands from the pasture!

Important Information

  • Dietary Accommodations: We can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian, and most food allergies if notified at least 48 hours in advance. Please add any dietary notes to your reservation.
  • Cheese Selection: This picnic predominantly includes goat cheeses, with occasional sheep or water buffalo cheeses. If you require a different dairy option, non-dairy substitute, or follow a specialized diet (such as Keto or Vegan), please contact us before booking to determine if we can accommodate your request. Additional fees may apply.
  • Bringing Decorations?: If you are celebrating a special occasion and wish to bring decorations, please contact us first to ensure they are safe for the alpacas and will not frighten them.
  • Interacting with Alpacas: Your picnic takes place under a gazebo, but you are welcome to step out and interact with the alpacas. Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and comfortable shoes that can handle a little dirt.
  • Take-Home Treats: Most guests leave with leftovers and/or farm products to enjoy later!
  • Age Restriction: This experience is strictly for guests aged 16 and up. Please do not book for children, as we will need to cancel your reservation. Nursing infants are permitted.
  • Respect the Alpacas’ Space: For the well-being of our alpacas, running is not permitted in the enclosure. Please move calmly and respectfully around the animals.
  • Food & Beverage Policy: Outside food and beverages are not permitted unless there is a specific allergy we cannot accommodate. Guests may not feed the alpacas anything except what is provided, as this is for their health and safety. Alcohol, smoking, and marijuana use are strictly prohibited during the picnic.
  • Weather Policy: The picnic proceeds in light rain, as the eating area is covered. If heavy rain, strong winds, or thunderstorms occur, your experience will be rescheduled or credited per our policy below.

Cancellation Policy

When a reservation is cancelled at the last minute, it becomes difficult to fill that space on short notice, resulting in lost opportunities for both other guests and our small business. This policy allows us to maintain the quality of our experiences while being fair to all visitors.

  • If we cancel, we'll provide full credit (minus processing fee) for cancellations due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
  • Full refund/credit (minus processing fee) if cancelled 5+ days in advance.
