Booked this just for something to do that was a bit different. I was pleasantly surprised by how awesome this day was!!Great fun, beautiful scenery, delicious wine and yummy soup. I highly recommend this and will definitely return!
Well worth the visit to the tasting room. While sampling the great wines they offer, the view is also amazing
The wines we tasted here were very nice...loved the atmosphere and the staff were superb! We would definitely go back to Thirty Bench anytime! Very informative staff on hand and a very pleasant atmosphere!
My wife and i toured here with free tasting vouchers. My wife only drinks sweet wine and they really didnt have anything for her but he did pour her a sweet drink while I sampled and gave her some chocolate. We had great conversation and you could tell he was passionate and knowledgable. If you like traditional good wine this is the place to go.
My friends and I booked the Thirty Bench snowshoe wine tour but when we arrived it was pouring rain and there wasn't much snow to speak of. What could have been a real bummer turned out to be one of the funnest days. The Thirty Bench staff were amazing and took such good care of us. We still ended up taking a walk in the rain after our insistence and tasting some wines in the vineyard. Our guides were knowledgeable and fun and the wine was absolutely delicious. After we returned from the walk we tasted 4 more superb wines and were served soup to warm us up. All in all it was a delightful day and I would recommend this winery to everyone!
Visited the Thirty Becnh Winery today and sampled 3 of their wines. Rielsing (what they're know for), Chardonnay, and Red. My favorite was the Reisling - The wine pourer on duty, Tim, was veyr knowledgable and friendly. Made several suggestions about out tasting. This place is worth the drive.
This was my second time going on their snowshoeing tour. I have to say, all the staff here are great. The minute we checked in, we were poured a sample of their Winemaker's Riesling in a stemless glass that we got to take home. Once we finished that, they helped us get fitted with our snowshoes and then took us around the vineyard. We got to see where their grape varietals were grown and got a little lesson in viniculture. At the end of the trip, we had a hot cup of soup around a campfire and were offered many more wine samples. They really seem to like what they do and it shows.
So unfortunately there wasn't enough snow to actually snowshoe - so we got a walking tour of the vineyard. The tour guides were knowledgable and pleasant. The wines we tasted were decent and enticed us enough to purchase a bottle of the wine makers red at the end of the tour. The grounds are picturesque and the hiking lasted about an hour. We were then taken back to some outdoor fire pits and picnic tables where we ate delicious soup and had adequately paired Gewurztraminer wine. Overall the tour was a great break from the daily norm - I had a great time. I would recommend this to couples or groups of friends looking to get outside (despite the cold) and spend a nice few hours touring the Niagara region. I'm sure had there been enough snow it would have been fun to try the tour on snowshoes.
We decided to spend a couple of days in the Twenty Bench appellation region near Grimsby Ont in order to check out some local wineries where we would find quality product not available in the local LCBO stores. This was one such winery and the choices were great. Staff were very helpful in explaining the varieties and helping to choose the right wines for our pallettes. Definitely worth the stop.
We had a wonderful tasting at Thirty Bench. The staff were superb, Tina took us through the wines and she was outstanding. We even had the pleasure of talking to the experts as a new field of vines was planted.Highly recommended.
