Oeno Gallery

What an amazing place! Some destinations are worth a detour, and this gallery is a perfect example. My 500 km drive to find it was more than justified. As someone familiar with art galleries and contemporary art, I often find commercial spaces to be somewhat underwhelming. I didn’t expect much from a gallery set in a vineyard, but I was pleasantly surprised when we stumbled upon it. The gallery itself is a hidden gem. The garden surrounding it is filled with beautiful and well incorporated pieces set the stage for what’s inside. The selection of artists is eclectic, intelligent, and incredibly talented. Discovering this gallery felt like an unexpected delight, and both the gallery and its garden left me thoroughly impressed. Thank you for this wonderful experience—it truly made my day.

We visit here every year and we always thoroughly enjoy it. This time we brought family from the UK they absolutely loved it. There are new sculptures every time we visit so always a surprise. Nice way to spend a hour or so in the summertime.

Oeno Gallery is a delightful spot for art lovers. The collection is diverse and captivating, showcasing a range of contemporary works. The outdoor sculpture garden is particularly impressive, offering a serene and inspiring environment. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore unique and thought-provoking art.

Such a peaceful and unique place. I loved wandering through this garden. Entry is by donation, and there is lots to take in, including an interactive installation. Not to be missed.

It’s absolutely incredible people can enjoy this beautiful art completely free of charge. I try to visit every year. It’s a wonderful getaway spot that awakens inspiration by the ever growing exhibition!

We almost went to this gallery on Tuesday but thankfully we looked up the hours and realized they weren’t open until Wednesday. So on that chilly and windy day we walked the sculpture gardens, which are amazing, and then went inside the gallery to find more beautiful art and a lovely art gallery employee who told us about the gallery and the art and each artist. I’m a clay artist so I took my time looking at the ceramic pieces and wondering if one day I might see my art in that gallery.

Not my first time visiting this gallery, sculpture garden grew since my last visit and it is fabulous! A chance to walk around with a glace of wine adds to the pleasant experience

This was totally stunning for me. I was so amazed with all the sculptures and flowers at this outdoor gallery. This place was well maintained and great for photos. The best part was free of charge, but you could do a simple donation. We really enjoyed it. So happy to find this hidden gem during our visit to Belleville.

This gallery is located on the grounds of Huff Estates Winery in Prince Edward County. It's nice to walk around the outdoor sculpture garden where flowers, lavender and wild grasses grow. The sculptures are for sale so they get replaced periodically with new ones. As you can see from my photos, the sculptures are varied and unique. Who doesn't love a dancing frog? The indoor gallery has contemporary and other art. This artwork is also for sale. Since the gallery isn't too big, we had time for lunch at the nearby restaurant on a summer weekend. What a great way to enjoy this part of Ontario. The parking is plentiful too.

BOTTOM LINE: A (free) hidden gem in PEC. For a gallery that's been around since 2004, and with an added outdoor sculpture garden since 2011, I am shocked - SHOCKED - that this place has not been raved about on Yelp yet! Located on the grounds of Huff Estates Winery, the diminutive gallery/front office somehow manages to obscure the expansive back garden that can simply be described as a collaborative dreamscape of Dali x Escher. Simply sublime! My favourite work in the garden was easily Derya Ozparlak's towering "New Life", aka Balloon Girl, but which has apparently been sold to the tune of a luxury sedan, so you better come by soon to see it before it moves into its new home! A miniature version of this is also available in their indoor gallery as well, speaking of which, now requires an appointment to view during COVID-19 times. This. Place. Is. Amazing.
