6 Best Wineries near Sanborn

“Not your average winery. I have been to wineries all over the world from Bordeaux to southern Spain, Western Cape, South Africa and Australia. For a New World vineyard you are getting something special here.

Kevin, the winemaker along with his daughter, verbose knowledge and passion persists in every bottle. The back story of this place is as interesting as the wines themselves. If you can try only one in the Niagara AVA I recommend Long Cliff. Blaufränkish and Sauvignon Blanc are definitely worth trying!“

“ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! I bring all my friends and family to experience it!!!“

“Freedom Run is hands down our favorite winery! Kurt and the entire staff are very friendly and are extremely knowledgeable! They make you feel right at home too! I definitely recommend Freedom Run!!!“

“They are a family-run business that strives to put quality products before profit. They are a great venue for smaller events with an open-door policy. I highly recommend.“

“We stopped here on a wine tour for a 40th birthday. Honeymoon Trail Winery was very hospitable to our group and took good care of us. This place was cozy and offered tastings along with some cheese dip samples. They had a ton of beautiful baskets made that you could buy for holiday gifts. They were doing a raffle as well that you could enter if you purchased a basket. The year also has some delicious smelling corn chowder for sale in the other room. The wines I tasted were not bad. A lot of their offering were more sweet. I did enjoy trying the drier ones because that is my preference. I enjoyed trying a new winery.“

“I felt the prices of the flights were very fair. My favorite wine was their Rosé.

I only took a little issue to a discrepancy of the ice wine taster, which was listed at $7.50. I actually was charged $9. This didn’t bother me enough to make a comment, but they might need to update their pricing menus a bit.

I enjoyed their little selection of gifts to pick from! They had soaps, lotions, tea towels, etc.

One note as a visitor from out of state: When keeping a tab open, they hold your credit card behind the bar. I was surprised by this, though it wasn’t a problem for me. But, it is not a common practice where I am from, so I figured I would put that here as a warning in case anyone wouldn’t love this. You definitely can pay as you go as an alternative.“
