Although we were too late in the season to get their winery tour, we had an excellent visit in their wine store with a very informative and knowledgeable female staff member. She shared the history of the winery, and region plus gave an excellent tasting experience.
My husband and I stopped here during our baby-free getaway not once, but twice! The staff was so incredibly welcoming and fun and the wine was exceptional. They were so sweet in getting boxes for us to bring our bottles home safely. They also made excellent restaurant recommendations! Highlight of the wines. Thank you Henry of Pelham for a great experience!
I have to say, for an Ontario winery, this place is among the finest I've seen. Not only are the wines well made, well priced and diverse, the cellars are particularly JET SET! Our tour guide was a wine student, interested in all things wine and quite pleasant throughout our stop-in. A must do on the Niagara wine tour...
We received a free wine tour voucher and decided to take advantage of this opportunity. I, at the time did not drink wine but thought the wife would enjoy the outing. Well, Trudy our guide was very informative, friendly and just made the tour fantastic. We all went back for the tasting, any and all wine is available for tasting and here I am, a wine drinker! Not a full fledge one, but Ice wine, and the sweeter scale wines I do like. So far Henry of Pelhams Ice Wine is the best I have tasted and I have been testing a lot since this tour and I keep coming back for more!! During the summer take sometime and spend a delightful afternoon having lunch and a glass of wine on the outdoor patio amongst the serene and quiet setting of the Escarpment views in Pelham.
Groups of six or less can book a guided vineyard tour travelling on segwaysthere's plenty of practise time & a helmet to endure you can operate the segwaylots of vineyard info on the well paced touruse the all terrain model if you have back issuesGenerous wine sampling after led us to purchase several new favourite wine :gamay & a red blend called sibling rivalryPatio is pleasant to sit out as we enjoyed a dish of local berries
I think Henry of Pelham is rated the #2 Canadian winery. In any event, it is a top notch winery and restaurant. We started out here sitting on the patio enjoying wine, cheese, and a blues festival. I told my wife this is as good as it gets with your clothes on. I highly recommend. It is not a particularly fancy place but the food is excellent and the wine top notch. Staff was helpful and knew what they were doing. Enjoy!
Lovely winery in a nice part of Niagara on the lake. We had lunch here which was nice although the grilled sandwiches were not anything to write home about. The wine tasting was gun and reasonably priced and we came home having bought a few bottles of wine. All in all a good place to while away a few hours.
The atmosphere was so much friendlier and less pressured . The wine was more reasonably priced than the heavily marketed wineries in Niagara-on-the-Lake. And a very pretty spot well worth the drive out to St.Catharine.
It's always a pleasure to enter the doors at Henry of Pelham. A fun, laid-back experience, and some excellent wines. This afternoon we went to their Inaugural Chowda Fest. One of the best experiences since we moved to NOTL a few years ago. We tried the 7 chowders on offer - Tide & Vine was my favourite! We won't miss this event next year. Love this winery. Include it on your tour of the Bench.
My wife and I visited this lovely property on our way to a family reunion in early July. It was our second time there, at least a decade removed, but found the restaurant and servers again to be first rate and the tasting room staff friendly and delightful. We joined others in the tasting room who were also having a great time. The wines are very well made and are priced fairly for their quality. They succeed across the board with winning wines in the Sparkling, Red, White and Dessert category. I urge you to visit them for a rewarding and entertaining experience. Very Highly Recommended!
