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 🙌“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Amazing EXPERIENCE! Excellent tour! Delicious food! The tour was so informative, allowed for lots of good conversation! The girls answered all our questions! Ice Wine is a must try and my husband and I sobered up with the pizza wnd water! We got a Stan Lee sighting of Mr. Pillieteri, which was nice treat!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Nice place, welcoming people, good wine and nice food. I appreciated particularly how the food (chinese inspired porchetta stuffed with hoisin and black bean paste, topped with pear slaw, yuzu mayo and ceisp spicy pork skin) was presented by the chef.“

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

“Had a wonderful experience here! I arrived well before the rest of my party, and the team was incredibly accommodating, letting me grab a quiet table away from the crowd to wait. Huge thanks to Anna and Alex for being so welcoming and making sure I was comfortable while I waited. It’s a beautiful, relaxing space with top-tier service!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Superb wines, beers and spirits available during an excellent (relaxed) tasting session with brilliant informative staff. This is actually a wine college / university that sells what it's students craft and produce. Brilliant on all levels.“

“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! :)“

“We had the best experience ever at this winery. Julian was our host and spent a lot of time explaining all of the wines to us. He is highly knowledgeable and super friendly. We tried 7 different wines and their Golden Hour sparkling plum wine. Everything was incredible and organic so went down smoothly. We had the pleasure of speaking with owner Vince and found out DeSimone is a home grown family operation. It was a unique experience as they had an interesting gigantic concrete looking egg which was imported from Italy to use in wine making. We would definitely come back to replenish our stock and see what it's like in the summer on the patio with live music and pizza. Thank-you for your hospitality!“

“We popped in as one of our sip and sizzle stops and it was fabulous. Tom served us, and was very personable, knowledgeable and provided an excellent experience. The goat cheese tart was incredible and I loved the sauv blanc it was paired with, and will pick up a bottle next time I’m there. I was able to try the rose, and it was one of my favourite roses I’ve had in a while, so I grabbed a bottle. I also grabbed 3 red wines for my dad who loves Strewn wines, due to the quality and flavour profiles. We will definitely be back!“

“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 .“

“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 💯“

“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!!!!!!“

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

“My boyfriend and I visited Konzelmann winery yesterday for the first time and it was beautiful! Our server Alex was amazing and ended up being from the same county as us. He had so much knowledge about the wine and knew exactly what to recommend. He gave the perfect touch of knowledge and personable stories during our visit. Highly reccomend their peach wine!!“

“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!!!!!“
