Great service loved the experience. Fantastic wines that give the big names in the region a run for their money.

Great wines and beers

Linda Pogor

Fantastic experience here from going out in the vineyards and hearing about how the grapes are grafted, planted and maintained to seeing a beer brewing class and the offloading of grapes into the building to be made into wine. All while accompanied by a tasting of 3 different beers and culminating in a tasting of 3 wines paired wonderfully with cheese and chocolates. This was a Groupon experience and definitely worth it!

Michael Pinkus

Always a great place to visit and there is always something interesting to taste. A wine for every palate.

Gurbir Martin

One of my favorite wineries in the region. Great selection and service. And the food is great too

Absolutely a great experience. We visited around noon and were able to try wine tastings as well as beer flights. The winery building wasn't busy and we enjoyed sitting inside at the clever barrel tables. Outside there is tonnes of room on the beer garden which overlooks the winery. For my wine tastings, I asked the host to choose for me. She asked about the types of wines I like and I was thrilled with how good her choices were. I for sure want to go back and pick up a bottle of Rosé 101. We were able to browse the selection from the brewery, cidery, and distillery in the wine centre. The other areas are closed right now so everything operates put of here. I'm glad we were able to visit Niagara College because we weren't able to do a tour of the school due to Covid-19. Future students, this is a perfect opportunity to visit the campus and try their selections!

Visited this winery as part of the day package tour of Niagara Falls (which also includes a stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake); this is the last stop before you head back to Toronto. You get to taste 4 of their wines including the famous ice wine (which technically is not a dessert wine but actually a dessert in itself, crisp and sweet) in front of their vineyards. You’re free to browse through their store and buy some wines if you want; as far as tastings go, its rudimentary at best, but a good initiative, since people get to learn something new and the proceeds are ploughed back into the system.

Friendly, helpful staff. Good value ice wine and red ice wine can be found here.

Good place to start your wine excursion.

(Translated) During our trip with TBCL - Toronto Bus Co. Ltd. about the Niagara Falls, that was the boring part. You get three wine tastings, with the ice wine being the most interesting. However, I am not an explicit wine drinker myself. The vines are useful for one or the other photo. (Original) Bei unserem Ausflug mit TBCL - Toronto Bus Co. Ltd. zu den Niagara-Fällen war das der langweiligste Teil. Man bekommt drei Weinproben, wobei der Ice-Wein noch das interessanteste war. Ich selber bin allerdings kein expliziter Weintrinker. Die Weinstöcke sind für das eine oder andere Foto brauchbar.

Amazing wine tour and tastings. Lovely people.

Dylan Moffat

Really good wine at good prices

Marina Beniaminov

We stop by here every time we are in Niagara on the Lake. It's a great little winery, but they also have craft beer and cider. So really it can appeal to everyone. Love chatting with the people working here. They are a fountain of info on the wines and the region.

Matt Clarke

Wonderful place to try wines on a sunny day and enjoy the patio and view!

Jack 1059

The back patio is a hidden gem. Wait, no it's horrible. Don't go. Lol.

Rod Chalmers

Always a pleasure to see Rachael and try a new wine. Got a Cab Franc today!

Albert Klein Horsman

The tour was Ecellent

Pablo Rodrigo Arroyo Hernandez

(Translated) They took us on a tour of the Catatas that included a wine tasting at this school and we really liked it, in addition to here they have a variety called "Ice wine" which is delicious. The products they sell in their store range from wines to chocolates and although they are not cheap when you buy them, they help the University program. (Original) Nos llevaron en un tour de las Catarátas que incluía una cata de vino en esta escuela y la verdad nos gustó bastante, además de aquí tienen una variedad llamada el "Ice wine" que es deliciosa. Los productos que venden en su tienda van desde vinos hasta chocolates y aunque no son baratos al comprarlos ayudas al programa de la Universidad.

Amazing wine tour and tastings. Lovely people.

Amanda Toussaint

Excellent food and wine tasting. The server seemed very educated with the tastings

Jeff Bunton

One of our favorite stops when in niagara. Really enjoyed the cider making workshop!!!

Rosa Elliott

Staff are always friendly and helpful. Not like the wineries in niagara on the lake where I find they are not helpful and very stuck up. The staff here are great

Andy Hall

This was a great location for an outdoor social event for 40 people. Chetan, Max, and Rachel were great to work with.

Peter Rizk

A great initiative and a good cause. I had a tour here off of Groupon and the tour guide was very helpful and taught me more than I learned at any other tour I took in the past at other wineries. Everything is student driven here and the programme they offer were really cool to hear about. We sampled 4 wines including an ice wine and also got to sample 3 beers at the brewery. We learned about the beer and wine making processes. If youre lucky and a student is there doing a project or work, you'll get to see them do some cool things! Would recommend to anyone looking for a good activity that is informative and fun.

Nathan

Service was great but the wine was lack lustre. Tasted watered down. Do note that students do not make these wines but it's rather an individual who uses the Niagara College name.

Erin Scourse

Had a great tour with Chetan! The beer, cider, and wine were all delicious.

Mark David Webster

A fun variety of beer and wine.

Ally Chimienti

Really cool, unique experience! Great variety of different wines, beers and ciders!

Rasim Karibov

(Translated) They produce and sell excellent wine. You can try before buying. (Original) Производят и продают отличное вино. Можно перед покупкой попробовать.

Jay S

There was a tour which cost $5.00 which was informative. It was my first wine tasting, so its hard for me to compare others. After the tour we did some tastings and I ended up getting a bottle of their early harvest dessert wine!

Abhishek Singh

Excellent range of wines with amiable staff and exotic ambiance which makes the winery experience a memorable one.

Jenny Medeiros

I loved coming here! Had 4 wine tastings and the guide was very upbeat and informative. The red ice wine is sweet and tastes more like raisins whereas the white ice wine tastes more like pineapple. The sales go straight back into the college course funds, so it's a good cause and a good product! Alas I passed through at the beginning of "spring" so all the vines were...well pretty dead. But highly recommend coming through here during its seasonal prime.

Caryl Lamothe

Awesome place! Looking forward to sampling some of the wine and spirits we purchased. So great to see that they teach hands on!

I want to give an excellent review for our host/waiter Max! We went to the Niagara College Holiday Open House on Sunday and he was amazing! He offered us many beer choices as well as wine and we had several conversations. Well done Max!

Strongly recommend for the intersting tour and quality of the wines.

Paulette Frantists

No knowledge shared about the college or the yards. Who maintains them. Won't be back

Vhijay

Came here as part of our tour to the Niagara Falls. So glad we came as we learned that this is the only school teaching winery in Canada. The red wine, rose and ice wine samples were good and we bought all 3 as gifts. A good place to include in your itinerary as proceeds of your purchase go back to the school. Proudly Canadian.

Larissa Lima

Very friendly staff. Good wines and nice prices.

Went for a tasting experience and it was great. Great value for the money. Purchased a Groupon. Our hostess Rachael was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Trish Coxworthy

Great tasting. Has beer, wine and spirits for tasting and purchase. Will go back.

Thomas Genders

Always love the students wines and Beer ! Today we attended the winery/brewery holiday open house. They have an amazing array of thier own wines and brews as well as student brews. We had an amazing knowledgeable representative name Max who imo went over and above to answer or questions and to get us some delicious wine and beer samples as well as sample some of choosen apps off the menu . Firepits and chairs were set up outside as well, just wish it wasn't as windy as it was. We left with a wicked selection of beverages. Once again, Max, kudos ..Cheers !!

Absolutely stellar experience here today. Our server was Max and he made sure our friends from out of town as well as ourselves were absolutely taken care of from the moment we came in until we left. Top notch service that is so hard to find these days! Definitely will be returning, cannot say enough about how fantastic this location is.

Come here to taste Icewine cider and other Niagara local wines. Icewine is a very sweet wine, which may not be for everyone! Be warned - but the rest of their wines are particularly good. Just get the tasting menu so you can try different varieties

Theo Lambert

Incredible experience in the unique wine teaching college, the only one in the country! We went there for the ice wine festival, we tasted a lot of wines accompanied by the advise/opinions from the passionate students/alumni of this university who manage the tasting. It was really enriching and extremely pleasant, I recommend a lot!

D2 B2

So friendly and informative! Made it a lot of fun!!

Michael O'Halloran

Terrible and acidic wine, food was subpar at best, mediocre COVID-19 measures. Cups were touched around the rims with bare hands, tables were not sanitized in between uses. Very disappointing overall.

Pierre Muloin

Very nice good sampling beer wine staff very nice

Paul Fluri

Student made wines. Excellent quality.
