Where Nature’s Wonders Meet Art & Culture

A TASTE FOR ALL SEASONS

Niagara’s many passport touring events and seasonal celebrations are an excellent way to enjoy an incredible selection of wine and food pairings at multiple wineries.

While it’s tempting to ll a Niagara getaway with nothing but wine- and food-focused pursuits, combining the region’s one-of-a-kind natural landscapes, world-renowned arts experiences, and eclectic events adds even more avour. A cycle or stroll down the historic Niagara River Recreational Trail can effortlessly include stops at Lailey Winery , Reif Estate Winery , and Riverview Cellars Estate Winery . A hike on the section of the Bruce Trail that winds its way through the Niagara Benchlands makes for easy tasting and touring at Henry of Pelham , Malivoire Wine Company , The Organized Crime Winery , Thirty Bench Wine Makers , Domaine Le Clos Jordanne , and Rosewood Estates Winery . Guests of 13th Street Winery are encouraged to wander through the property’s fascinating sculpture garden and take in Canadian art exhibitions at the on-site John Mann Gallery . Live arts lovers can time their trip to coincide with a Shaw Festival performance or a concert right along the Niagara Wine Route at St. Catharines’ First Ontario Performing Arts Centre or Jackson-Triggs ’ open-air Amphitheatre.
