Domaine Queylus is a winery dedicated to a select number of varietals adapted perfectly to the terroir’s soils and microclimate. This internationally recognized premium winery crafts small lots of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Merlot and Cabernet Franc from two estate vineyards in Beamsville and the Jordan Bench. The wines, made by Kelly Mason and Thomas Bachelder, show complexity, finesse and minerality. DOMAINE QUEYLUS

David Johnson, 2019 Winemaker of the Year, and his partner Louise Engel have poured their hearts into this 23-acre eco-friendly winery, tucked into the Niagara Escarpment. Best known for their Black Sheep Riesling, David also crafts award-winning Sauvignon Blanc, Rosé, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay. On weekends in the summer, guests can sit on the Farmhouse veranda and enjoy a glass of wine and pizza from their wood-fired pizza oven. FEATHERSTONE ESTATE WINERY

Reflecting their Haliburton roots, the Fielding family has built a winery with charming Northern Lodge ambience, set high on the Beamsville Bench, boasting a spectacular view of Lake Ontario. Since opening in 2005, Fielding has been three times named one of Canada’s Top 10 Wineries. Winemaker Richie Roberts produces head-turning reds and vibrant, juicy, aromatic whites. Curtis Fielding was named Grape Grower of the Year in 2012/2013. Be sure to stop by for one of their artisanal cheese plates and glasses of wine served daily. FIELDING ESTATE WINERY

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-fed winery sits atop the Escarpment with an incredible 360° view of the vineyards, Lake Ontario and the Toronto skyline. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, made by David Sheppard, are the winery’s focus but the Rieslings, especially Nadja’s Vineyard, are consistently recognized among Canada’s best. FLAT ROCK CELLARS
