Magnetic Hill Winery and B&B

Last reviewed: August 8, 2026. Business status: Active.

Magnetic Hill Winery is a Moncton winery wedding venue on Front Mountain Road, with event spaces on the same property where the business grows, harvests and makes its wines. Its official venue page expressly welcomes weddings and describes three rental options: the Historic 1867 Barn, Rustic Cellar and two-storey Tasting Room. The spaces range from intimate gatherings of up to 30 or 35 people to events of up to 150 guests.

The winery also operates The Guesthouse, although the official wedding information does not say that accommodation is included with a venue rental. Couples should therefore treat lodging as a separate point to discuss. This profile distinguishes documented features from older directory claims and from details that still require a direct quote or contract.

Services and specialization

Magnetic Hill Winery rents space for weddings and other special events. Its event proposition centres on an operating New Brunswick winery: the official site says the wines are grown, harvested and crafted on-site, and the venue page pairs event hosting with Magnetic Hill wines.

The winery also offers personalized wine tastings in the Rustic Cellar and says it can provide its wines and educational experiences for some off-site events. Those options may be relevant to a wedding weekend, rehearsal gathering or private celebration, but couples should ask which activities can be incorporated into a wedding rental and at what cost.

• Wedding and special-event venue rental
• Three documented indoor or indoor-outdoor space options
• On-site wine production
• Personalized cellar tastings available for private gatherings
• Separate Guesthouse operation on the property

Event spaces and published guest limits

The restored Historic 1867 Barn is identified as a small-wedding option for up to 35 guests. It retains original wood, includes access to an outdoor courtyard and is available only during the summer.

The Rustic Cellar is a private bar space for gatherings of up to 30. It has a bar and two sitting areas, with personalized tastings led by a dedicated bartender available. The Tasting Room has the largest published limit at up to 150 guests. It spans two floors, uses restored wood from historic New Brunswick barns and has large doors opening to a patio. The winery describes it as suitable for sit-down meals and cocktail events.

• Historic 1867 Barn: up to 35 guests; summer availability only
• Rustic Cellar: up to 30 guests
• Tasting Room: up to 150 guests
• Tasting Room patio provides an indoor-outdoor connection
• Published limits should be reconfirmed for the intended seating plan and event format

Service area and who it may suit

The venue is in Moncton, New Brunswick, at the Magnetic Hill property. It may suit couples specifically seeking a winery setting, a small summer barn wedding, an intimate private-bar gathering or a larger event in a tasting-room environment.

The on-site Guesthouse may also interest couples planning a wedding weekend. However, the official wedding page does not document room counts, wedding-night inclusions, group blocks or accommodation availability. Couples should assess the lodging separately rather than assuming that venue rental includes rooms.

• Couples planning in Moncton or considering a New Brunswick winery setting
• Small weddings of up to 35 in the summer barn
• Private gatherings of up to 30 in the cellar
• Larger sit-down or cocktail events in the Tasting Room
• Couples interested in asking about separate on-site accommodation

Confirmed strengths and practical limitations

Documented features include three spaces with published limits, preserved historic wood, an outdoor courtyard with the barn, a patio connected to the Tasting Room and views of Moncton’s cityscape. The official history also confirms that the property is an 1867 estate and that the Guesthouse opened after the house was restored.

The main practical limitation in the published information is incomplete planning detail. The site does not specify wedding package inclusions, catering arrangements, outside-vendor rules, accessibility, parking, furniture, décor, sound equipment, setup time, cleanup obligations or alcohol policies. This is missing evidence, not an indication that a feature is unavailable. The barn’s summer-only availability is the one explicit seasonal restriction.

• Strength: distinct spaces for several event sizes
• Strength: documented courtyard and patio access
• Strength: active winery and separate Guesthouse on the property
• Limitation: Historic 1867 Barn is summer-only
• Limitation: many operational and package details require confirmation

Pricing

Current wedding pricing is not explicitly published. The official venue page directs prospective renters to submit a Venue Rental Request Form but does not list rental fees, wedding packages, minimum spending, deposits or per-person charges.

Request an itemized written quote for the preferred space, date, guest count and event format. Couples should ask whether tax, gratuities, staffing, bar service, wine, tastings, furniture, setup, cleanup, security, insurance and Guesthouse rooms are included or charged separately.

Current prices are not published on the official pages reviewed.

• Ask for the base rental fee and payment schedule
• Confirm deposits, cancellation terms and potential minimum spends
• Request separate prices for optional wine experiences and accommodation
• Compare quotes using the same guest count and event duration

Contact and booking

The official contact number is 506-384-9463, also presented by the winery as 506-384-WINE. The venue is listed at 860 Front Mountain Rd, Moncton, NB. Venue inquiries should begin with the yellow Venue Rental Request Form linked from the official venue page.

The winery’s contact instructions direct venue-rental inquiries and bookings larger than 12 people to the Venue page. For other inquiries, the published email is info@magnetichillwinery.com. Submitting a form is an inquiry rather than proof that a date is being held, so couples should obtain written confirmation and review the rental agreement before making dependent bookings.

• Use the official Venue Rental Request Form for wedding inquiries
• Provide the proposed date, guest count and preferred space
• Call 506-384-9463 if clarification is needed
• Use info@magnetichillwinery.com for other inquiries
• Do not treat an inquiry as a confirmed reservation

What couples should confirm

Begin with the room and capacity: ask whether the published limit applies to seated dinners, cocktail layouts or both, and whether dancing, a ceremony, service stations or entertainment reduce usable capacity. For the two-storey Tasting Room, confirm the proposed floor plan and how guests will move between levels and the patio.

Next, confirm the complete service boundary. Obtain written answers about catering, bar service, required wine purchases, outside vendors, furniture and linens, accessibility, parking, washrooms, sound limits, weather plans, rehearsal access, setup and teardown. If The Guesthouse matters to the plan, request its room inventory, rates, check-in rules and availability separately. Finally, review deposits, cancellation and rescheduling terms before signing.

• Exact capacity for the intended layout
• Ceremony, dinner, cocktail and dancing configurations
• Catering, bar and outside-vendor policies
• Furniture, linens, décor and audiovisual inclusions
• Accessibility, parking and washroom arrangements
• Indoor backup for any outdoor component
• Event hours, rehearsal, setup and cleanup access
• Guesthouse availability and whether any rooms are included
