Ferox by Fabian Reis

I highly recommend visiting this winery !!!! They will take you on this amazing journey of wine making. We came here for my future husband's 50th birthday, and wow, we were blown away ! I highly recommend taking a blind tasting with Cubby. He took us on a wonderful journey of wine tasting and making. Don't think about it. Just come. You will not regret it. This is high-quality wine. Grab a few bottles and enjoy !

Ferox is yet another great partner in the Friends with Benefits of Commisso Estate Winery wine club membership.
Our visit this past Saturday was really lovely. David, our host, was friendly welcoming and obviously quite knowledgeable about the wines of Ferox. The indoor tasting rooms on both ground and second floor are quite cozy. Upstairs is a small balcony with a few seats looking over the vineyard. Small outdoor seating areas are at the front and side of the main building. Out back is a larger patio area for summer sipping.
Some very good wines and quite a nice charcuterie board were enjoyed by our group.
My positive experience with Ferox started when I booked our tasting. Cubby was very quick to get us booked for the day and time I wanted, and I'd received a confirmation email before we finished chatting.
I'm looking forward to a warmer weather visit to enjoy more wine on the patio!

The Ferox 2023 Rosé is a revelation for those who appreciate a deeper hue in their rosé wines. From the first pour, it's clear this isn't your average rosé; its dark, almost ruby color hints at the intensity and complexity within. This visual promise does not disappoint upon tasting.

Crafted by the innovative winemakers at Ferox, known for their dedication to creating unique and robust wines, this rosé stands out with its rich visual appeal. The dark color, unusual for a rosé, suggests a longer maceration time, which in turn imparts a fuller body and a more pronounced flavor profile than one might expect from its lighter counterparts.

On the palate, the 2023 Rosé does not shy away from its bold appearance. It offers a delightful array of flavors - think dark berries, a hint of spice, and a subtle earthiness that you might find in red wines, yet it retains the refreshing crispness that rosé lovers crave. This daring approach to rosé wine-making showcases Ferox's commitment to pushing boundaries while maintaining the elegance and drinkability that rosé is celebrated for.

The dark color isn't just for show; it's a testament to the wine's depth and the careful selection of grapes, which are handled with precision to extract just the right amount of color and tannin. This rosé pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, from hearty meats to rich pastas, thanks to its structure and complexity, which are beautifully highlighted by its distinctive dark hue.

In summary, the Ferox 2023 Rosé is a must-try for anyone looking to explore the richer, darker side of rosé wines. It's not just a drink but an experience, reflecting the adventurous spirit of its creators at Ferox. Here's to a rosé that dares to be different, both in color and character!

Have been several times now and each time the experience was stellar. The food is exceptional, accompanied by wonderful wine pairings and welcomed by Nicole who elevates the service well above other restaurants. The beef tartar was so finely balanced….the oxtail lasagna was divine. The tapas platter a delight, the lamb belly sumptuous. We can’t rave enough and book in every Thursday! Our favourite in Niagara. Thank you Ferox!

Their wine is excellent!! And, the prices are very competitive! They offer some of the finest Chardonnays the Niagara Region has to offer!!

Excellent food, wine and service.... and two EV chargers. Waaay better than eating in o e of the tourist traps on the main street. Beautiful shaded little patio for the summer, too.

A good selection of wines. Worth a visit.

Fantastic experience, extremely knowledgeable and friendly staff. Beautiful setting and superb service. Made 2 trips over the more popular commercial wineries in the area. If you are looking for a hidden gem Ferox is the place to go!

Really high quality food, great options, great wine. Will be coming back

Best experience in NOTL! The staff are so knowledgeable and friendly! Try the reisling and the rose! Definitely a must for your wine tour. Abby was awesome! Thank you Ferox for the awesome experience.

My call to Ferox was received by Fabian himself. Fabian was amazing, we made a last minute request and were accommodated. My wife, myself and our friends had an excellent time at our tasting. We were greeted by Cubby the wine maker and sommelier. The wine, winery and the people are all excellent. I highly recommend visiting Ferox..

We came here two years ago because we tried a Ferox wine at a restaurant and absolutely loved it. It was recommended that we try a blind tasting, which I would recommend to everyone. I was thought that I loved Riesling and don’t like Chardonnay. The blind tasting proved the opposite. We have visited the winery several times and keep coming back. Food is one of the reasons. The restaurant at Ferox is a hidden gem in the Niagara region.

The quality of the wines and food are next level. The service also incredible. We sat on the patio which was charming and comfortable and had nice music playing. We felt like we were taken away to wine and food heaven. Ferox is in a class of it's own!! WOW.

Had a terrible experience here yesterday. Came across the winery on our tour and stopped in for a tasting. Was sat in a room with an extremely loud group and was ignored. Flies everywhere. Once we got our flight the wines were not good. Ended up leaving samples behind and left. Waste of money and time. Overrated unfortunately.

My wife and I visited Ferox today after not visiting for awhile and things changed, not for the better. We waited at the patio entrance where it said a hostess would greet us waited over ten minutes without seeing a single staff, went inside to not be greeted and have people that came in after be helped, not once or twice but three different times .We use to love the genuine conversations and knowledge that the staff offered but everyone today was robotic and cold, I hope in future I can return and experience Ferox as we remembered it
