In autumn, you especially appreciate those warm sunny days. After all, colder weather, rain, and even winter are just around the corner))
We spent one of those beautiful autumn days in the Niagara region, visiting several interesting wineries. I have already shared some of the wineries here, but many of them were still on our list to discover. So, we continue exploring new beautiful places for walks, discovering new flavours, and simply enjoying a wonderful time together...
This Niagara winery produces the largest selection of organic wines in the region. A beautiful property
A small tasting room with rather expensive wines and the production area
A huge, beautifully maintained property
A beautiful tasting room with a large selection of wines
We bought a rosé wine and later really enjoyed it. Light and champagne-like, with a delicate flavour, it paired wonderfully with cheeses. As usual with wineries, there was a cozy restaurant with a patio. Like many other wineries, this one offered wine tastings as well. The tasting prices ranged from $20 for 3 samples to $99 for 6 wine samples with small appetizers
The founder of the winery is a fifth-generation winemaker originally from France
I know that for many people this winery is a favourite in the region. As with other wineries, you could book a wine tasting here. On the left, you can see the famous Canadian ice wines on the shelves (sweet dessert wines made from grapes that have frozen right on the vine). And on the right, small bottles available for sampling
And here are the vineyards themselves. At the beginning of each row, the grape variety is indicated, and accordingly, the category of wine produced from it
This Romanesque-style winery is built in the shape of the letter C (the first letter of the owners’ surname). To our surprise, we also saw palm trees here. I suspect that during the winter they are somehow moved indoors. I really loved the exterior of the building
The wines here are made using the traditional Italian appassimento method (drying or partially dehydrating the grapes before fermentation). Wines produced this way are rich and full-bodied, with a high concentration of flavours and aromas. Here is a part of the production area and a section of the display
Moving on. The distances between all the wineries are very short — only about a 5–10 minute drive
Judging by the name, you can guess that this winery was founded by sisters. It is one of the most beautiful “girly” wineries, or at least that’s how it seems to me, judging by the beautiful lace-style labels on their wines
They say that this winery has a very delicious restaurant, but tables need to be reserved several weeks in advance...
And here are the green grapes
It was time for lunch, and we comfortably settled in one of the parks by the river. We had agreed in advance to bring some small snacks, and when each of us took out our little cooler bags, the result was this beautiful still life.
It was time to head home. On the way, I stopped by my favourite fruit wine winery — Sunnybrook (I have already written about it here) — to buy a few bottles that should last until our next trip to explore more wineries...
