35 Best Wineries near St. Catharines

“Beautifully balanced wines, with full bodied flavor, highlighting the grape. We've compared Rachael's wines to countless bottles from all over the world, and his always win. He is truly master wine maker. Well done Sir!“

“Nice hidden gem, good wines and a beautiful location.“

“This is by far the best winery in the region. They were closed but agreed to allow us to pick up our selected cases on their closed days as we live in Ottawa and we're coming to visit family. Not only did we pick up during their closure, they provided us with tastings. Amazing people, amazing service, and most of all FANTASTIC WINE! They did not disappoint. If your in the area it may be a small winery but they do not disappoint. Thanks Kings Court, we will be ordering for delivery to Ottawa. #Bestwineryever“

“Beautiful place to visit and enjoy some of the best food and wine at the Winery. Very classy and friendly place to spend time.“

“We made wine and beer for a birthday party. They were very helpful, professional and a pleasure to work with. Everyone loved the beer and wine - both red and white. We will definitely be back and would highly recommend them :)

“I’ve never been a butter tart fan - BUT that has changed forever (if they’re from 13th Street’s Bakery) I picked up a couple pecan nut butter tarts and raspberry & Coconut butter tarts!! Wow I’m in love from the flaky pastry to the Devine filling💕💕💕💕. Oh and their breads - definitely worth a visit. We will back very soon. Thank You🌸 PS - They deliver too 🙌“

“We had a wonderful tasting experience with Bree today. She’s very knowledgeable on wines and vines on site. Love her positive energy and enthusiasm. Thanks so much for making my day.“

“I love everything about Southbrook. Their wines are sustainably produced, organic, and biodynamic. They are also delicious, well made, and fairly priced. What else could anyone want? If you're trying to decide which wineries to visit while in the area, I've been to most of them over the years, and while many are truly excellent, I joined Southbrook's wineclub. 😉“

“Every course a delightful surprise. The garden tour was helpful in understanding the RPM menu.“

“Great food and amazingly creative drinks. Not just for adults. There's games for children. The ambience is perfect and the staff were hysterically funny. I can't wait to bring my girlfriend back. Try their wood fired pizzas! We're definitely going back again“

“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.“

“Thank you for a wonderful experience. We came here for a nice romantic getaway. We reserved a private cabana with a beautiful view of the vineyards and we're not disappointed. Our server was Joey and he was exceptional. He took his time explaining each wine and pairing to us beginners. We learned a lot and highly recommend chateau de charms.“

“First time visiting during 2024 Fall wine festival. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. We had a full day so we didn't get a chance for a proper tasting, only had there Icewine and Merlot. We ended up purchasing bottles of both.

Looking forward to coming back and really getting to know the winery.“

“Creekside is a terrific winery to visit. For us it was lunch on the deck with a flight of wine for tasting.

Our host/server, James, is outstanding. A terrific young man with a great disposition and an incredible wealth of knowledge that really made our visit a wonderful experience.

Not to mention the food is delicious, as is the wine!“

“Had our wedding here back in August, and honestly, what an incredible experience. The service, attention to detail (before and during the wedding), etc. was top tier. Big shout out to the whole team and in particular, Mackenzie. She was able to do everything seamlessly minus coming to an agreement with the sun to simmer down on the temperature...

All jokes aside, the day was perfect. The venue was great and the staff are even better. Highly recommend and worth every penny for the experience. Thanks again to everyone.“

“Ariana made our wine tour an absolute delight! Her storytelling brought the history of the vineyards to life, and her suggestions for tastings were spot on. She created a perfect balance of fun and education. A must-do experience with her as the guide!“

“I had family visiting from the U.S. and was interested in doing the winery tour. Unfortunately we were too late for the scheduled daily tour. However, we got still got tour by Brad who spoke to us about the history of winemaking in the region, different wines, the college and vineyard/winery. It was very educational and interesting. The rest of the staff was lovely as well. Highly recommend!“

“Love this store. Very friendly staff and free samples at the Wine Tasting counter. I've been drinking their Small Batch apple flavoured cider for a couple of years and love it. Not sure about the comment that it was awful. They have a couple of other flavours so it might have been one of them. I've only tried the apple and stick to it. Delicious!!“

“Great spot! Was originally called Small Talk Vineyards and just this July 2022 it has been sold and being renamed. No official sign, but everything says "Shiny Apple Cider". The staff is very friendly and helpful. We each got a flight if the different types of cider. They were all really good! My favorite was the watermelon mint Cider. Lots of space to park and sit down outside to enjoy your cider.“

“Stopped in Saturday for club member pick up party. Didn’t RSVP. Tate and Sarah welcome our group of 4 without hesitation. The place was hopping and they made space for us.

The vibe is super cool and chill. A couple of cross country skiers stopping in for a visit.

The quality, service and experience is excellent. Make it a place to stop in. Wine, beer, people. All have great taste!

Ps. Try a white or red twisted or quality Pinot Noir or Chardonnay. Thank me later!“

“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“

“My husband and I enjoyed a wine tasting. We also had a charcuterie board. The wines were very good. We purchased 2 of the reds. We also bought some cheese that we had on the charcuterie. It is a very quaint European feeling winery. it was very enjoyable“

“Great place and awesome people, beautiful wine“

“My wife and I stopped for a wine & charcuterie board lunch at Niagara Custom Crush Studio and had a great visit. The charcuterie board was excellent, we both enjoyed our wines (she chose a Stoney Ridge Chardonnay, while I had the Unscripted Cabernet Merlot) and the setting in their gardens was beautiful.

Because it's a virtual winery with multiple winemakers selling out of their retail store, it has a large & diverse selection of wines.

All the staff were very professional, and I have to note that I had a unique shipping request for the wines I purchased and they accommodated that request without any pushback.

Highly recommended.“

“As a Chamber, we hosted our annual Outstanding Business Achievement Awards at Harbour Estates and it did not disappoint. Working with Cassie and her team on all things event related was easy, fun and accommodating. Our guests raved non-stop, drinks were delicious, and we're excited to return again next year. 100% recommended.“

“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 !“

“Amazing winery with excellent staff!“

“great family owned place friendly and knowledgeable highly recommended“

“Great place... wheelchair accessible... lovely people... simple, tasty bits to eat... yummy cider. Rhubarb cider? Look forward to returning.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wide, accessible parking spots. Paved lot. There's some gravel between the lot and the walkway leading to the entrance. Maybe 10' Likely ok for manual and power chairs, but might not be great for people unsteady on their feet. Big, heavy doors, but they are equipped with push door openers. But they were not turned on. They apologized and fixed the issue immediately. Theo brought a lower table to an inside window spot without having to be asked. Lovely person. Kate (hope we remembered correctly) is a friendly and knowledgeable server. A pleasure! And Shannon... thanks for the tasty bits. We wish you every success. We did not check the bathroom accessibility.“

“We visited Colaneru Estates Winery innl a summer and we had an amazing wine tasting experience. Host was very knowledgeable about bot only wine that we tasted but also about family history. All wines had specific story attached to it. Absolutely breath taking scenery. It felt like like we are in Italy not in Niagara on the Lake. I loved the whole experience and I'm sure to go back.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This is a beautiful winery. The parking lot has plenty of space, even for an RV. Inside is a gift shop, next to a wine tasting space. I didn't have the opportunity to try the restaurant, but I was able to find a bottle of one of their rose' wines in the gift shop.“

“Honsberger Estate winery is a hidden gem and a must visit winery! with beautiful groomed gardens, professional friendly staff, excellent freshly made charcuterie...and of course great wines! let glassowinetours.com take you there“

“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“
