FOREIGN AFFAIR WINERY (THE)

Since opening in 2005, Ed Madronich has injected fun and enthusiasm into both the wine and the winery experience – so no wonder this is the home of Twisted, the crowd-pleasing white blend. The five-level gravity-flow winery sits atop the Escarpment with an incredible 360° view of the vineyards, Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are the winery’s focus but the Rieslings, especially Nadja’s Vineyard, are consistently recognized among Canada’s best. FLAT ROCK CELLARS

Nestled in the heart of Niagara’s Benchlands, The Foreign Affair Winery offers elegant white wines, and complex, full-bodied red wines alongside warm hospitality and storied roots. Join the Hospitality team for a seated tasting in the barrel lounge, shop the boutique, or visit our patio seasonally for wines by the glass.
