This is a very pleasant stop in Ontario that's far better than the chaos of Niagara Falls. We went out looking later in the day than we'd planned due to the check-in chaos at the Courtyard, but found that this winery was still open. We're delighted we did. The wine is mostly true to form for Ontario wines in that it's mostly white, off-dry and with a lot of fruit and floral notes. But unlike some, they also have some credible reds. It's worth a visit, and you'll probably find some wine you like. We did, and carted several bottles home.
A great wine tasting and other attractive offerings. Yesterday a friend and I attended an event that featured a flight of Pinot Noir's - Pete Bodnar Rod conducted the tasting- if you want an great experience, have Pete demonstrate- he is so knowledgeable and a great guy. I just came back from Sonoma and would say their 2010 Pinot would match up well against 13th street. In addition, they had some wine specials which were great. The chef from Treadwell's put on an excellent spread with slow cooked foods- absolutely excellent. We also visited their baking/gift store - they offer excellent selection of cheeses and at this time of year, Christmas decorations.The event was topped off by a cheese demo put on by the Canadian Cheese Association, the lady who hosted it -was very knowledgeable and social able- Canadian made cheeses were absolutely fantastic. A great event that they continue to offer on a regular basis. I would be remise in not mentioning their winemaker Jean Pierre who was born and raised in France- their loss is our gain- His winemaking abilities have greatly enhanced the quality of wines in Niagara.
We are sorry to hear you were disappointed when you visited us on Sunday. However please note we are always closed on Sundays. This is stated in the Niagara IceWine Festival guidebook under our listing as well as noted on our website and Facebook page. We apologize for the confusion and hope you will come visit us again when we are open.
We went on a wine tour this past sat and ended the day at the 13th Street Winery for their Jazz & Blues night. All 6 of us had a great night of wine, food and music. Beautiful location and set up starting off with their bakery, where you must try the bacon,raisin tarts ;-)) and then off for a relaxing wine tasting. They have a very nice selection of whites and red as we all found ones we liked and took home. If your planning a wine tour day this is a must do for a fun filled day. We can't say enough about the staff and the owners, making you feel like good friends. A very special thank you to Karen from Wolf and the Binbrook group. We will be back again Karen for some of your future events, see you again. Wolf & Cindy
The white, red and sparkling wines are pretty good. The nicest surprise at the winery was the bakery. The butter tarts are all fresh and delicious. A must visit. The ladies working in the bakery are friendly and full of great advice. Worth stopping at to visit.
We happened upon the winery out of the blue having just been to the Whitty Farms stnd they pointed us in your direction. What a wonderful surprise when we pulled up. The surroundings are serene and tranquil,, The staff was more then eager to help us and were incredibly friendly. What fantastic experience. Keep up the great work that you do!!!!!
Really like this winery and the gift shop and bakery. Everything is so good! Great for wine lovers and foodies and shoppers! We would visit more often but we are usually winery hopping on Sundays and this place is closed. That is the reason I can't give it 5 stars :(
We enjoyed our wine tasting here very much. As well as the excellent whites, they also had some very nice reds - we especially liked the Gamy Noir Sandstone. Prices are very reasonable. It was so much nicer to come and taste wines and buy ones we knew we would like than to go to the liquor store in Toronto and take pot luck.
I had been trying for a number of years to go to this winery because we had one of their wines at a restaurant a number of years ago and we were impressed with it. We final got there a couple of weeks ago and were very impressed with their wines, the ambience, the art work hanging on the walls, the sculpture garden and the bakery on site. We had a wonderful tasty light lunch sitting looking out on the garden and thought we were having the best time. We were so impressed with our reception by the staff and the wines sampled that we joined their wine club!! We have had our first shipment and we look forward to sampling their wines at home. We totally recommend a visit to this winery and we feel sure any wine lover will be equally impressed
