Taste & Swirl
Spend your afternoon sipping, snacking and savouring through four great wineries in beautiful Niagara Benchlands.
Malivoire Wine Company
Innovation has been the key to Martin Malivoire's success since purchasing this prime vineyard on the Beamsville Bench in 1995. This first in Ontario gravity-flow winery is an elaborately recycled Quonset Hut. Winemaker Shiraz Mottiar focuses on excellence in cool-climate varietals including Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Gris, as well as Rose and outstanding Gamay.
Featherstone Estate Winery
David Johnson and Louise Engel have poured their hearts into this 23-acre, eco-friendly estate tucked into the Niagara Escarpment. Riesling best captures the terroir, but winemaker David Johnson also crafts award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay.
Niagara Custom Crush Studio
Also known as (The Crush) is Ontario's newest winery venture. A community of local winemakers under one roof. The tasting room provides consumers access to a wide range of wines from premium producers as well as the opportunity to connect with burgeoning or start-up wineries. They offer state of the art community winemaking facilities, and a retail outlet for multiple independent wine brands including Rennie Estate, Stoney Ridge, and Horseshoe Cellars with more to come. The experience is complemented by several unique offerings, including sprawling gardens, outdoor patios, and the Cheese Cellar boutique, which carries over 25 different kinds of local artisanal cheese.
13th Street Winery
Set amongst 25 acres of estate vineyards, just west of St Catharines, 13th Street Winery creates exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of Niagara, specializing in hand-crafted sparkling wines, Gamay Noir, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling.
No visit to 13th Street Winery is complete without a visit to the 13th Street Bakery. Legendary butter tarts and and so much more!
