30 Best Wineries in Niagara On The Lake

“We went for a wine tour on 12/7 for our anniversary at Trius and our tour guide was Barry who was exceptional!! Barry was professional, very knowledgeable and a great guide throughout our experience sharing stories, taking pictures for us and of course providing us with some great wine and cotton candy. I just wanted to thank Barry for making our experience amazing and perfect, so thank you so much for that!“

“Had a great tasting today at Between the Lines Winery. Elaine was incredibly knowledgeable about the wines and pairings, and has a great sense of humor. One of our favorite NOTL wineries!“

“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!!“

“We had an amazing Father's Day lunch at Queenston Mile Vineyard. Wood fired pizza, mile high burger, amazing steak sandwich and lobster grilled cheese 🤤 With Mimosa flights in fantastic flavours 🥂“

“We absolutely love Pilliteri. We attended again for the region’s Chocolate and Wine Discovery Pass, and we were serviced by Supreen. She made us feel welcomed and greeted us with a smile. She was very knowledgeable on the pairing and the different wines we were interested in. We ended up buying 6 bottles, but their wines are fabulous. Well worth the money. Later on in the evening, we went back for pizza and more wine. It was the perfect ending for our long day.“

“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 :)“

“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 experience at Inniskillin was phenomenal. As wine country residents from Southern California, the experience with Leron at Inniskillin had no comparison. He shared so much about the winery and process, we tasted phenomenal wines and we will definitely be returning on our next visit.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 💯“

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

“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“

“Such a lovely experience! Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the wine tasted delicious and it was super fun to try wines we’ve never heard of before. The complimentary sparkling wine at the beginning of the tasting was a nice touch too!“

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

“We always make JT our last stop when we are enjoying NOTL wine tour!!
Save the best for last!
Our tasting expert this time was Doug ~ what an absolute pleasure he was! Taught us about the wines, helped with choices in our flight & introduced us to a sparkling Merlot!! Oh my!! Thank you Doug!
As well, all of the staff on this day were exceptional - super friendly!“

“We did the blind tasting with Debbie and the blending session with Cheryl. Both ladies were extremely knowledgeable about the winery, its history, its processes and of course its wines. What a fun time! Highly recommend 👍“

“Booked a private tasting. It was not private. We shared the space with other groups. Our person advised it was because another group took over the normal area. It was a problem for me because I had to walk up multiple flights of steps with a walker. But the view was worth it in the end. The view of the vineyards is remarkable.

Our wine person was very friendly and was able to track down the wines I was most interested in sampling. The tasting came with 4 samples that you select from a list.

I was lucky enough to sample the Pinot Noir Off Dry. It was so good I bought 3 bottles.
Our group enjoyed the wines here.“

“Excellent lunch with friends visiting from Minnesota. We had booked the dining room but it was a beautiful day and the lady seating us graciously found us a lovely table on the patio. Service was great and the food was very tasty. There was no rush to leave so it was wonderful to sit and chat without feeling pressured. This was our second visit here with the same couple and I am sure it won't be our last.“

“What a wonderful experience we had yesterday! We enjoyed tasting and stayed for a delicious dinner!“

“Just finished a double date outing and it was a blast. Highly recommend doing the tour! Cal was our tour guide and he didn't skip a beat! Our group had a lot of questions and he was very informative, friendly and kind. Great way to spend a Saturday afternoon with a group of friends“

“What a wonderful experience we had yesterday! We enjoyed tasting and stayed for a delicious dinner!“

“My husband & I had lunch here for my birthday, we stopped here on our way from Niagara Falls to Niagara on the Lake. The patio was well covered from the summer sun and it felt amazing outside. They gave us complimentary wine for my birthday which was very nice of them!

Our service was impeccable. We did a 3 course meal, we really wanted to do the tasting menu but they said that was only reserved for those eating at the restaurant. For our first course, I don’t remember what my husband got but I got scallops. It was okay, it just had a very strong fishy smell.. which I sometimes associate if it’s a fresh item or not.

Second course, my husband got a burger and I got salmon. We did a wine pairing with our second course (we just asked for a recommendation on which they thought would pair best with our entree). Second course was much better! I don’t remember what we did for our dessert, I didn’t get any pictures - I was so hungry and then I forgot! We had an ice wine which was delicious and finished with an espresso.

We will definitely come back if we’re ever in the are again!“
