17 Best Wineries near Grimsby

“Was here over the weekend. This was one of the most pleasant experiences I have had at a winery ever. All the wine is great! The food was excellent. We had the flat bread pizza and the cheese plate. The owner and his wife both came out to introduce themselves, sit with us, ask about us and talk about the wines. Very very personable. June who was our hostess was absolutely amazing and if you get her, you will leave happy. I can’t rave about this enough and already looking forward to going back. This was a winery where you get your tastings and the vibe is to relax. Enjoy the wine. Enjoy the company. Not get in. Stay for 30mins with your only 4 tastings then leave so next group can come in.“

“What a wonderful day at Ridge Winery, with the lovely local wine, beautiful views, and some snacks. If you are in the neighbourhood, please book some time to come over and taste their products - definitely worth doing, plus two lovely ladies will tell you the history of this place ?“

“We just moved to the area and wanted to have a date night. Our first experience here was nothing but great. Service was great I believe our servers name was Tommy. Me and my girlfriend decided to try things we wouldn't normally order at a restaurant and we were NOT disappointed. Every bite was great! We tried some of their wines as well which were also very nice. We will definitely be back and highly recommend“

“Great experience here, the server has the most professional and educational experience in the area! Highly recommended!“

“We planned a tasting with a smaller group last weekend. We had a few communications leading up, and Nina was very friendly and accommodating. It was all of our first visits, and we were pleasantly surprised by how charming it was upon arrival. It was a nice day so they had tables set up outside with blankets and a heater which was a nice touch. Terri and Carrie were so much fun right from the start. They were very upbeat, informative and fun! They made us all feel right at home. There was a nice selection of wines with something for everyone (there were 7 of us and we all have very different tastes). We will definitely be back!“

“We came to Malivoire a couple weeks ago as our friends have been here and had nothing but great things to say about it. We prefer smaller wineries. They just feel more personable and really know how to make their guest feel comfortable. It’s safe to say, you’ll get that feeling here. They even had a free cheese pairing offered to any guest which I thought was fantastic! Don’t forget to ask about their surprise friend hanging out in the back! We will definitely be back :)“

“Lovely! It's a gem! Beautiful peaceful landscape. You cannot ask for a better sunny summer patio overlooking wineyards. Service and staff was friendly, cheese plate was awesome and experience was magical. Wines were not up our valley (besides white rabbit and cab franc) but it was such a lovely and enjoyable experience I would recommend this winery to anyone who enjoys quality and good vibes.
Honestly, my favorite winery in the region so far by atmosphere. Thank you! You run your business with love. We could tell. And your honey is delicious!“

“Our party of 4 had an exceptional dinner at Peninsula Ridge during the Surf and Turf event! The steak and lobster were superb quality we all finished our plates. The most delicious food that never disappoints. What elevated our experience was the outstanding service and attention to detail demonstrated by both Caroline and Diana. We love dining here - beautiful, intimate environment, gourmet cuisine, and wonderful friendly service. Our favourite place!!!“

““My spouse and I celebrated our 31-year anniversary at this amazing restaurant, and we couldn’t have picked a better place! The atmosphere and ambiance were perfect for the occasion, making our evening feel truly special. The service was outstanding—attentive and friendly. The food was delicious, and every dish was prepared to perfection. Highly recommend for any special occasion or even just a great night out!”“

“We had the best experience visiting Organized Crime today for a tasting. We had Jill help us out and she was so amazing - stayed and talked us through everything, we learned so much about the wine and winery. It truly was an amazing experience because of Jill. The wine was also amazing, which was only expected because of the many awards they have won. Organized Crime has won itself as one of my favourite wineries now, and I would highly recommend the visit!“

“Of all the wineries in Niagara, Black Bank Hill should be at the top of your list. This hidden gem offers a unique and intimate experience with one-on-one wine tastings of their fantastic wines. The owner, Taylor, is so passionate about their wines and the entire process and it shows through their product. You absolutely have to try their 2021 Estate Viogner and 2020 Syrah. Both offer such a distinct flavour that is unlike any other wine in the region. Don’t miss out on this winery.“

“I stumbled across this "hidden" gem while visiting the Niagara Falls area, and I’m so glad I did! I was pleasantly surprised by the exceptional quality of the wines and the impressive knowledge of the staff. With decades of experience immersed in wine culture and having visited many wineries across the globe and in my home state of California (Napa Valley and Paso Robles), the expertise here is noteworthy.

During my visit, I particularly enjoyed the Riesling and Chardonnay, which was surprising as I consider myself a "red wine guy". In contrast, I found that the few wineries we sampled in Prince Edward County were disappointing, as I felt a couple of the wines were undrinkable.

If you’re in the Niagara Falls area, I highly recommend stopping by Hidden Bench. It’s a remarkable experience that showcases the best of what the region has to offer! Cheers!“

“Great selection of sparkling wines!“

“We came in as a group for wine tastings. Tim was our Server.. Very knowledgeable of the wines and helpful. Made us feel welcome. Unfortunately one of our party had to stand at the table as.a female staff member refused to get out of the chair she was using even though he asked for the chair for us. We almost left instead but decided to give it a chance because of Tim. We left with several bottles of wine and enjoyed our time. Tim deserves a raise“

“Our visite to THIRTY BENCH was an amazing experience! It is very personnalise. We can feel all the passion and love that was initiated in this project. We were welcomed by Lindsay that made us live a great experience to remember! We give a 10/10 visite!“

“Party of 16 with reservation... 20 min to even order a drink.... almost 2 hours to get dinner. Carrots were dried out and way undercooked. Steak was ordered med rare. Came rare... flavorless and tough... dessert was fabulous. Salad was scrumptious. Scenery gorgeous!“
