NIAGARA ESCARPMENT & AREA

Small-town Charm Nestled between the majestic Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario is a thriving wine region referred to by locals as “The Bench”. This hidden gem has a rich history and is home to some of the most esteemed vineyards in the Niagara region. A short drive up the Escarpment delivers spectacular views that won’t disappoint. Smaller, boutique wineries are common in this region and welcome you in a relaxed, friendly setting. Visit to taste their unique and exceptional wines that are often not available anywhere else.

“Ontario’s wine country has never been better. Find a riveting combination of rustic charm, polished hospitality, and world class wines in such established areas as Niagara, Prince Edward County, and Lake Erie North Shore as well as emerging regions such as Huron County – and just a short drive from Toronto. Exciting times for wine lovers!” – Carolyn Hammond, Toronto Star
