35 Best Wineries in Niagara On The Lake

“Daniela is extremely knowledgeable in history and evolution of wine making and grape growing. We tried the “black glass” taste. Very interesting and original tasting. Wr had a wonderful time even though we scored 1 put of 4. Highly recommend this winery for a unique and informative experience.“

“My favorite winery in Niagara on the lake. It’s not only a beautiful organic farm but the owner is present and so passionate about each wine you’re tasting. He sat down with us the last two times when we were visiting. Love the Chardonnay, rose and sparkling wines offered. Always one of my stops when I’m in the NOTL region. Keep up the great work Southbrook!!“

“Had a great time wine tasting here. This was a random pick because they had a great public tour offer ($25- two for one), and was open till 6 pm unlike most places which close at 5, and they have their restaurant right there.

Andreas was the touring guy, he was very excited to share history about this place, and show us the winery. Glad I picked this place.

This was a different experience than usual wine tasting experience, perfect for history geeks who like to know stories behind everything.

100/10 recommended 😌“

You dont want to miss out on this! There food items are as well delicious, especially there wood oven pizza. Thanks for hosting such a great event!“

“We visited today for The Ice Wine Festival, Dimitri (from Pig Out) was a great and friendly young man and passionate about what he was presenting to us- roasted pig, which was amazing! Jeff from Reif was also very accommodating with the lovely Ice wine for The Ice wine Festival. With visits like this it makes for a wonderful afternoon! Thank you Guys!“

“Amazing experience at Palatine Hills winery. The wine is so delicious, its a cozy ambiance and the staff is very friendly - especially Catherine, she was so helpful and kind. The prices are very reasonable as well. Highly recommend to anyone visiting NOTL.“

“Dropped in for an unexpected tasting with no high expectations! Charlotte was great and the wines were very good. Better yet they had their Grand Reserve Red on sale for $20 (reg $45). Keeping a lookout for more sales!“

“Our first time to this winery today. Had the Sangria flights and a snack. Had fantastic service through the whole visit as well as great recommendations. The personal service here was top notch and continued through the full visit.“

“We had a great wine tasting here. Booked via the site for €12/pp (I think it’s now €15/pp?) and we could choose 4 wine samples out of the entire menu. We got a short explanation of what each wine was about from the friendly staff and they even offered us an extra sample of their ice wine to taste at the end. Would definitely recommend this place if you’re in the area and want to try a cosy wine tasting. Maybe book in advance to be sure, but they do allow walk-ins :)“

“One of the VERY BEST wines in Niagara on the lake!!! Simply incredible!“

“This place was an amazing way to start of my 31 anniversary. The people there were so gracious, knowledgeable and just a wonderful experience.“

“Great wine & service. The owner was very nice. They sell delicious short bread cookies, the proceeds go to a women’s shelter.“

“Large selection of Henry of Pelham premium white and red wines, plus ice wine“

“Excellent location for outdoor weddings!“

“YES! The best red in this region was the cadenza! I don’t drink reds usually but this was amazing. I felt like I can drink it with a salmon or sushi it just melted my heart“

“I went there for the wine tasting at the end of a tour.
I really enjoyed it. We got to taste white and red wine, as well as icewine. The staff explained a bit about each one and specially about icewine.
The store has a lot of interesting products,I just wished they had a smaller bottle of icewine, so I could take it home on my carry on luggage.“

“I didn’t get the person in charge name, but she was wonderful! The wine was delicious. Willing to help me with my CarPlay for navigation. Who does that? She was willing to help! I figured it out, but am very appreciative of her offer. Enjoyed walking the property. The flowers were so beautiful!! It was a wonderful experience. Very kind! Thank you for a wonderful experience with wine tasting. I had never heard of ice wine. I would recommend that for sure!“

“In addition to organic wines, they have other items, such as eggs and honey. I was able to get plenty of eggs, but sadly, they were already sold out of honey for the season. Art Reimer was friendly and gave me some recommendations about sights to see in the area.“

“Great service. Friendly and hospitable. Interesting tasting experience.“

“J'y suis allé à l'été 2025 avec ma mère, ma fille, ma femme et ma belle-mère, très belle expérience avec du personnel compétent et engagé. Merci pour tout“

“Great staff and customer service. Staff are very knowledgeable! Stocked up on our favourite wines for Xmas gifts and now their New Sangria’s where do I begin with those, The Sempre sparkling wine is Amazing. Love when you open the door to their establishment you are welcomed with the smell of wine. It’s so familiar feels like you are at home celebrating with your big Italian family and catching up with your relatives. That is my experience .“

“We had a tour yesterday and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. For some reason none of us remembered our tour guides name but he did a great job explaining the history and showing us around. The ice wine tasting was amazing. We enjoyed having marshmallows around the fire pit. The food I had was tasty.“

“Beautiful winery with outstanding award winning wines 🍷 We really enjoyed our wine tasting with a local cheese board! Fantastic knowledgeable staff made the wine tasting fun and memorable. I recommend it 💯“

“Had an amazing experience at this winery!

I did a tasting with my friend, and our host Julien made it a wonderful experience. The wine here is phenomenal - Vincenzo makes truly special wine.

I highly recommend!“

“Beautiful venue!!! Highly recommend, great service and amazing drinks!!!!!!“

“A great winery is defined by the quality of its wines (obviously), but also by its people, and its welcoming space. For the second time this year, we invested our time to visit Strewn, enjoy quality wines, relax in a welcoming environment, and share a friendly chat with Brian - an extraordinary ambassador of the brand, who once again provided exceptional service. Our intentional return visit (today) built upon our summer stop (while cycling in the region) in several ways - an expanded tasting of the range (varietals) of Strewn wines, a refresher on their much-appreciated levels of quality, an investment in a couple of cases to both enjoy now plus cellar for later, and further friendly discussion with Brian who continued to be generous with sharing his passion and knowledge of all things wine-related. We were once again grateful for another delightful Strewn experience, and appreciated that the owners took time out of their busy schedule to greet us and ensure we felt welcome at their winery.“

“We just had my sister’s baby shower at Jackson Triggs over the weekend and we had the most amazing experience. Lexi and Angelo were incredibly attentive and took care of our every need. They were superstars that went above and beyond to make our experiment special. They worked so hard to take care of all of our needs. The food was outstanding and so visually appealing too. We were in the cellar and loved the large space all to ourselves. I highly recommend joining the wine club, which offers you a discount, all with exceptional service. Book your next experience now!!! Thank you Angelo and Lexi!!!“

“Great selection of wines, lovely patio and stellar customer service!“

“We celebrated the last day of the year at Trius Winery & Restaurant, and it was nothing short of magical – the perfect way to ring in the new year! From the moment we arrived, the warm and elegant atmosphere set the tone for an extraordinary evening.
The food was absolutely outstanding: every dish was beautifully presented, bursting with fresh, seasonal flavors, and crafted with incredible creativity by Executive Chef Frank Dodd. The locally inspired cuisine truly shone, with perfect execution and thoughtful details that made each course a delight.
The wines were exceptional – flawless pairings that elevated the meal to another level. As expected from a pioneering Niagara winery, the selection (including their renowned sparkling and Icewine) was world-class and complemented the food brilliantly.
The presentation and service were impeccable: attentive, knowledgeable staff who made us feel truly special on this festive night. The stunning vineyard setting added to the romance and charm.
Trius lived up to its reputation as Niagara-on-the-Lake’s only Michelin-recommended restaurant – a memorable, five-star experience from start to finish. Highly recommend for any special occasion. We’ll be back soon!“

“I was there yesterday for my birthday with my family. We had an absolute wonderful time. The wine tasting was amazing. The wines are delicious. The staff were all amazing. Special mention to person who did our wine tasting. I believe her name was Cadence and also Tina in the store. But everyone else was wonderful as well. I also love how great the Wheelchair accessible washrooms were. Too often wheelchair access is an afterthought if a thought at all. But the washrooms here were excellent.“

“sono stato oggi a pranzo..... bravissimi, bellissima location, complimenti. Onore agli italiani. Alfredo da Cosenza“

“Excellent food as always! Ordered the 3 course meal for lunch. Good choices for lunch. We had the beef ribeye medallion and it was superb. View overlooking the vineyards is very nice. Our server Kyle was exceptional. Definitely would come back again, as this is one of our favourite restaurants in NOTL.“

“When you in Niagara on the Lake the one commodity readily available is wine. What really separates a one winery from another is customer service and the experience provided. Initially my review was not going to be stellar. The bar service was slow and the attitude of some of the bartenders made it seem like we were more of a nuisance rather than a valued patron. We asked to see the manager on duty and that is when we met Joseph. He turned our experience right around and had empathy for what we had experienced. He first apologized for what had happened and then not only made things right but went well beyond are expectations. We will return to Gretzky’s because of Joseph. Let this be a lesson to all wineries in the area, good patrons want an experience. We have options and are happy to move on when our expectations are not met. Thank you Joseph!!!!!“

“A beautiful afternoon. Our waitress Amanda was exceptional. She was attentive, engaging and really sweet. She knew exactly how to explain each wine that was served to us - and even shared pictures from the event that was held the night before when we asked about the structure that was being disassembled.
