“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!!“

“I had a lovely experience at this winery. I enjoyed everything from beginning to end. Arthur was very helpful and accommodating, and the wine tasted amazing. Would recommend to anyone wanting a wine tour / experience in the Niagara region. Will be back in the future!“

“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.“

“What a wonderful event Queenston Mile Vinyards put on last night for their Annual Wreath making. Came out with a group of friends and had a really amazing time. Wil be booking again next year!!! 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!“

“Really personable establishment with a beautiful atmosphere. We sat out on the patio and tried a couple flights of wine that we chose, which is great as a lot of wineries really limit what you can choose. Our fave was the Viognier.

We visited 6 wineries on our visit to the Niagara area and this was by far the best.“

“Amazing service and delicious wines. Staff is very knowledgeable about the different types of wine. We enjoyed our visit today and will be back.“

“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!“

“I'm just surprised I didn't know such a cute boutique winery exists in vineland! The owner is full of passion and was the actually the one who served us as well. I've always been looking for local Ontario wines that are not in the LCBO, and Alvento has some of the best small batch wines. My fav is their new Sauvignon Blanc, and it's just so refreshing and easy drinking. I will have to come back here again.“

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

“First time visit! This store is organized very well with a spacious layour. The staff was so kind especially Kyle. He also let me know about the incredible initiative(s) the company has. Thanks a lot Kyle! You made my firsy visit super special. I'll be back!“

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

“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“

“Stopped here for the first time yesterday morning. My knowledge of wine is there is red, white, and pink... so I feel intimidated walking into wineries. Not Flat Rock! The crew at the door as we walked in were very cool and very down-to-earth making the experience relaxing, enjoyable and somewhat educational without feeling judged! Here's where it gets even better. My wife sorts out what flight she wants and when it came my turn I said I didn't really know, I'm more of a beer drinker! "We have beer"! We have choices from Shawn & Ed Brewing Co. in Dundas (LagerShed Original is very good). This was the icing on the cake, now they had 2 very happy visitors. Thank you for a great experience, the location is quite stunning. My wife, Les really enjoys your wines and the beer rolled you to the top of the visit list when we're back in the area.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I don't even know where to begin. My wedding this past weekend was held in the back of the vineyard at the HEW Park. Our dinner & dance reception was in a gorgeous white tented space with a stunning outdoor ceremony backdrop of mature trees and white hydrangeas, and an outdoor stage space, perfect for our cocktail hour. With our first-look, and sunset photos down a woodsy path to the harbour, I couldn't have imagined anything more beautiful!
This venue served nothing but the most immaculate vibes!

Cassie and her team were nothing short of outstanding and did the most with helping me create the day of my dreams! Communication was excellent, the catering through the venue was incredible (We still have guests messaging us about how amazing dinner was), and the flow of everything was stress-free. The chats back and forth to accommodate last minute changes, and discussing how we can take what was in my brain, and put it out in the real world was easy, and took away a lot of pre-wedding-day-stress!

Oh, and the wine was great! I had the Pinot Grigio, and LOVED it!

I went back to pick up some items that I couldn't fit in my first trip, and realized that this space is definitely a new happy place!

Thank you, Cassie & Harbour Estates Winery team, for making our Wedding Day vision come to life! We couldn't have asked for a better day!

Can't wait to be back! :)“

“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!“

“My son and I found this winery last Saturday and just loved it. The staff was wonderful. They had a musician playing outside and we sat at the tables and wine tasted. The wine was amazing!!!!!!! We definitely will be coming back! Thank you Westcott!“

“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.“

“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 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!“

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

“Konzelmann Winery in Niagara on the Lake is absolutely beautiful! The view from the upstairs area is impressive. You can see the vineyards and the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Their peach wine slushies are also amazing! Refreshing, fun, and perfect for a warm day. Cute little backyard area to sit. It's definitely worth a visit!“

“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“

“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!!!!!“
