A Gust of Sun is a fantastic winery that I make sure I stop in to visit every time I am in the Niagara region. I've probably been there 5-6 times, and each time the person serving the tasting is friendly and fun. A Gust of Sun has delicious wines, both dry and sweet, and the fact that they have a gourmet chocolate pairing available for each wine makes it even better. This winery feels like a small mom and pop location, which makes it feel so much more welcoming than the commercial giants elsewhere. You can tell they care about making quality wine and they care about you; they're not just out to take every dollar they can from you.
Before our anniversary dinner, this was our first stop on The Wine Trail, en-route to Lockport. Expecting it to be bigger, we were very pleased with the cozy barn on the edge of the vineyard. The tasting was reasonably priced with a good variety. Many wineries have no sitting opportunities, for A Gust of Sun we were offered to go upstairs to relax. This opens up the bar setting for other customers. We could have purchased a bottle of wine to take upstairs, but did not have time. We will have time in the future as my wife joined their club that has many benefits. Check for yourself on their website. http://www.agustofsun.com
We live in the area and always enjoy a stop here for tasting and a glass of our favorite wine. There is a beautiful outdoor area in the nicer weather and a comfortable lounge upstairs for when the weather is less cooperative. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable making the experience that much better. Definitely worth a visit!
This was one of our stops while on our wine tour from Georgia. The lady that did our wine tasting was very personable, and did a great job choosing wines we would enjoy. Their wines were very good, and affordable.
At A Gust of Sun Winery The staff is fantastic and the wines are a pleasure.... we found the winery on our way home from Niagara Falls Dec 14, 2014. Lo and behold we fell into a wine and chocolate pairing... Get this !!! 4 Wines with chocolate pairings for $5... Amazing!! The wifey and I had a fine sampling of at least 12 different wines between us, and we had a slight shine on when we left. Very knowledgeable young people on staff doing a fine job of serving their wares.
Gust of Sun was awesome! The staff, wine and westie dogs were top notch. I live in CO and I even joined the wine club! Loved receiving my wines. I like dry red wines and wasn't expecting to find any good ones on the trail. Gust of Sun definitely had great wines! Thank You!!!!
A Gust of Sun Winery is one of the best wineries that I have been to. I have been on many wine trails through Niagara (US/Canada) and the Great Lakes areas, and have always found that A Gust of Sun to be more friendly and comfortable than others. They do offer more dry wines than sweet, but recently have added some wonderful summer dessert wines. An added bonus of this location is their loft. Guests are able to take a glass or bottle of wine upstairs to relax on a couch or chair and listen to music or just converse. If you would like to spend more time outside, they offer a tented area and have very comfortable seating near their pond. Since the summer is upon us, A Gust of Sun has created three types of wine slushies made from their sweeter wines; Peach, Cherry, and Raspberry.Lastly I would have to say that the customer service at this winery has thoroughly impressed me. Though much of the staff seems younger, they all are very professional and knowledgeable. I recommend this winery if you want a small personable place to relax with great wine and great people.
I have been to A Gust of Sun quite a few times, Their wines are some of the best in the area, and service is always great. I have been there on a bus tour, limo tour, with one other person, and to a few of their events. Service is always top notch and I feel like I am among friends. They have both sweet and dry wines, and delicious chocolate to pair with the wines if wanted. There is a beautiful room upstairs that can be rented out for events. This is a stop on the Niagara Wine Trail you really want to make.
I enjoy coming here, you are greeted by the friendly westies and the sample size and selections are generous. Staff is very helpful as well as knowledgable. A good selection if non wine items are also available for purchase. In the summer you have a nice view to sit and have a glass of wine. A must in the wine trail stop.
Not only is the wine fantastic at Gust Of Sun, the atmosphere & staff is fabulous as well. Once you enter what appears to be beautiful barn on the outside is a gorgeous bar on the inside. The bathroom is very clean & is really different. You enter into a large wine barrel doors. You can tell these owners pride themselves on how well kept everything is. They also have an upstairs to escape to. You can rent the upstairs for birthdays, stagettes or for just a girls night out. This clean, friendly atmosphere keeps you coming back for more... Then you taste the wine & you won't want to leave !! They have many wines to choose from that are all unique & different. The staff is fully educated on all of them & explain every detail to you as you are sampling. The wines also are paired with amazing chocolates. Each chocolate is specially made for each wine they produce. They offer a special with their tastings for each sweet & dry. Normally I never like dry, well I have switched. The staff suggested just to "try" them & I am so glad I did I loved them all. I purchased a wine card from groupon which gives you discounts to save all along the wine trail. The card has paid for itself just in the first few visits. All of our wineries here are great. I must say this is my absolute favorite. Wine is amazing. Staff is amazing. Winery is beautiful. Location is easy to find. 4 stars all the way !!
