Every Glass Tells the Story of Place

Discover one of the few places in Ontario where nature has shaped the story of 40 distinct wineries. Thanks to its placement between the shores of Lake Ontario and the Niagara Escarpment, Niagara-on-the-Lake enjoys a microclimate of cool lake breezes, mild temperatures, and mineral-rich soils, producing grapes unlike anywhere else in the country. Every glass reflects remarkable character and tells the story of the region’s unique terroir. 

Experience wine country through every season. Enjoy crisp Chardonnays and aromatic Rieslings in the warmer months or acclaimed sparkling's and bold reds when temperatures cool. The winter is best enjoyed with a glass of Icewine, the region’s world-renowned dessert wine praised for its sweet and aromatic taste.  

Niagara-on-the-Lake's wine country is best explored by wine tours, cellar experiences, food pairings, or a simple tasting on a vineyard patio. Start with a winery that catches your eye and let curiosity lead the way.
