Reviews of Westcott Vineyards (Winery)

David Vick

Love this winery. Great spot to relax and sample wines. Need to go back and try dinner. Just another hidden jem

Magical place ❤ love the vibe, their mismatched chairs and plates, charming inviting tent and outdoor wood oven, and delicious food and wine.

Maikel Morfa

We spent a very pleasant afternoon, the natural and peaceful atmosphere of its kitchen and outdoor patio allows you to enjoy even more the delicious food prepared here. We will gladly return.

Lily Jordano

The rainbow trout dish very well balanced! The homemade French Fries is a must try dish! Lucky to get a table with umbrella outside of patio!

The House Of Lashes

Staff was nice, food really wasn't so great for the price.

Savannah Griffin

Did a wine tasting here & they were all really good! Also the location is so cute!

Courtney

They accepted a prepaid bachelorette of 15 ladies and after tasting 5 wines (we paid for 8 each) we were told to leave due to the fact of being “too intoxicated” this was our first stop of the day. The owners are extremely rude and demeaning to their customers yelling at them and snapping in their faces. I would never recommend going there or even purchasing their products elsewhere. They should not be allowed to run a business.

Ms. Foodie T

First time visiting and we loved it! The view of the vineyard is spectacular! We sat outside and did a tasting of 9 of their wines! So worth it! Perfect venue for a wedding, in fact there was one happening when we went. They have an amazing outdoor kitchen and pizza oven. Because of the wedding we couldn’t try their food but we’ll def go back again! Their staff is super nice and welcoming too.

J Scott Brubacher

Delicious wines and beautiful branding.

Chris May

Another wonderful Thanksgiving gathering at Westcott Winery. Ricky and Olivia did a great job with service. The turkey dinner with moist turkey, delicious root vegetables, and stuffing was amazing. Nicely paired with Estate Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.

Kelly Bee

Wonderful place filled with wonderful people. The wines were pretty good also. Can't wait to go back and try the food!

Courtney C

We heard Ricky and Olivia had taken over the patio food, so decided to come by when we were in town. Incredible setting to sit outside and watch the sunset. Food was delicious as always! Would highly recommend you stop by for a meal or some cheese and wine!

Shana McChesney

I wish I could have given it a better rating. The venue, ambiance and views are incredible, however unfortunately the service and food were disappointing. The wine tasting at the table was also barely a taste, the smallest pour we have ever had and temperature in my opinion was off. Not a great way to ‘sell’ the wine.

Jeremy VK

Fantastic food. Most dishes are cooked outside over an open fire. Great atmosphere, friendly service. Beauty view as well overlooking the vineyard and field of winter wheat. Two complaints 1. I realize they are a winery but just a couple of beer options would have been perfect. 2. The place is messy. Weeds everywhere. Random junk laying around in the back that’s very visible. Having said that we will go back because the food was so good!

Olivier St-Maurice

Of the 4 vineyards we visited, this was our favourite. The wines were excellent and the service was exceptional. Beautiful site. I wish we’d known about the food because it smelled incredible.

Diane Bubanko

Go for the wine (loved the Riesling), stay for the view, but the vegan/plant-based options will bring us back - deliciousness galore! The amazing farm fresh toppings & herbs on the pizza (who needs cheese?!), hand cut fries, edamane guac & chips and wood oven tofu is a culinary delight!

Sharon Soltesz

Wonderful food cooked outdoors in outdoor wood oven...awesome summer red wine...topped off by fantastic staff and service...and the patio is open Tuesday's when so many other winery patios are closed.

James Maclean

Great tasting and awsome staff. Jessica is incredibly knowledgeable and Casey is great source of knowledge.

Tim Sluys

Going to Westcott is like coming home. It's such an amazing place with wine that is 'care'fully and passionately made. It's a true Niagara gem.

Claudine Lemieux

Such a nice discovery and experience! You arrive in this beautiful relaxing country setting, it’s breathtaking...The food & wine was amazing plus the entertainment was great. Could have listen to the live band all night, oh wait we did! What sold me to this place was the outdoor seating & tent to enjoy a nice meal with wine. Everyone MUST visit Westcott Vineyard. We will defenately go back next year. . . #westcott #wine #beamsville #vineyard #niagara #vineland #niagaraonthelake #winery #winetasting #YesVisitNiagara #myniagara #visitniagara #niagara

Joe Dukes

Loved visiting this winery before they had all the great food. The only bad thing is that it's too difficult to decide what to get. I guess we'll just have to work our way through the menu. Staff are amazing, atmosphere outside is terrific and the wine just keeps getting better.

Philip Engs

We always enjoy it here. Wines aren't my favourite but nice ambiance, property, and good food.

White Pointer

Nice place, great oysters as well. Visited during lunch time. Had a nice setup.

Adam M

The vineyard property is beautiful and the owners and staff are great. Victoria was a great hostess and was very engaging.The baci ball and Jenga was a nice touch. Also love the outdoor cooking pit which she told us was built from limestone from the property!

Sarah Philbrick-Djerfi

The burger is amazing and we love the estate Chardonnay

Andrea lynn Sloan

Love the wine, the food and the view is breathtaking

C C

I came in the summer and it was a lovely time! The smell of the fire was amazing. They provide big cozy blankets to keep you warm. Cheese plate was delicious. The giant jenga was great fun! Would highly recommend the Violette if you like sparkling wine!

Ken Lori

. . . at least I enjoyed the view which, coincidentally, is the one thing out of Wescott's control.

Maggie Fairgrieve

Went for a tasting during COVID, reserved a spot online and prepayed. Was greated very pleasently and had our choice of seat under covered patio or Muskoka chairs over looking beautiful vineyard. Ambiance is lovely and the wine was very even better. Our tasting flight included 4 wines, Violette, Delphine, Chardonnay and a Pinot Noir. They even offered a no -alcoholic wine for our pregnant designated driver. I purchased a bottle of the Violette Sparking. I will definitely be back for a meal on their beautiful covered patio.

David DelCiancio

A wonderful experience as usual. Loved the wine and the chats!

Mark K

The meal and the atmosphere and the wine were excellent. Also some nice music and beautiful surroundings. Also lots of games for kids. Perfect.

L Nemeth

Absolutely fantastic vineyard with beautiful views of the rolling countryside and great wine. We had the most delicious dinner here. Great customer service and friendly atmosphere. Definitely a hidden gem! Can't wait to dine here again.

Lawrence Gridin

Lovely grounds and good wines.

Michael McCormick

Peaceful, serene experience for lunch. Live music performed by an acoustic guitarist and a vocalist only added to the atmosphere.

Troy Macpherson

Rustic beauty and excellent wines. Highly recommended

Nathan

Really good Pinots. Alfie the dog was very friendly too. ????

Jorge Valois

Awesome!!

Lisa Hallsworth

Had a wonderful guided tasting experience at Westcott Vineyards this week. Knowledgable staff took us through a flavourful journey of their wines on the patio overlooking their beautiful vineyard. We followed up the experience with a unique and tasty meal at Ricky & Olivia's Bistro.

André Arsenault

We had a very pleasant tasting experience at Westcott winery. Very nice outdoor venue with the wood pizza oven. The food was delicious, a peaceful place compared to wineries at Niagara-on-the-Lake. Highly recommend.

Siobhan Mather

Amazing views, service, and of course food! This place is a gem - we enjoyed every aspect of our visit.

Courtney C

Addie Batson

Wow wow wow. If you are travelling into the Niagara region you have to go to the to the Westcott. Two generations of brillance, from the staff to their wine to the overall ambiance. Jo was exceptional as our sommolier and made it extra special with her understanding of the vineyard and brand. Exceptional experience and crisp organic wine...Westcott is a must! Check them out ..you won't be disappointed!

Marzena K

Amazing food and wine! Beautiful setting.

Kiran Patel

Friendly and knowledge. Great atmosphere - warm and inviting. Family operation.

Doug Gierula

great collaboration tonight at westcott x eastbound brewing. everything was paired perfectly, food was perfection and the patio was amazing

Dave Neige

Their 2018 Pinot Noir here is very good, even the drenchy 2017 year Pinot Noir is good. I reccommend the 2019 "brilliant" sparking rose is nixe as well. I also suggest taking home some of their own whole bean coffee, Dante's Fury (named after their cat) smells amazing.

Nicolas Vocal

Terrific!!! Great evening, best steak I've ever had.

Jamieson Lorenz

Since moving to the area two years ago, Westcott has become one of my favourite wineries in the region. Great relaxed atmosphere, lovely vineyard views and some seriously good wine. The Estate and Reserve Chardonnays are consistently excellent and an incredibly good value. Ditto for their Sparkling wines, Pinot Rose and Pinot Noir. This is definitely a must-visit when in Niagara.

Ian Russell

Niagara has an awesome little gem here! The violet sparkling charmet was super refreshing, all the while viewing the rolling vineyard hills. But what pushed over the edge was the air was filled with a wood fired oven smoke and yes, it drew us in to try the smoked mushroom and Gouda cheese dip. Then why not, we ordered the pizza ???? Wow! So we came back again! Thanks for such an experience ????

Dalton Buller

Beautiful environment, great food and of course amazing wine. I would recommend this to anyone.

Mike B

Westcott holds a special place in me and my partners hearts. We stopped by for a dinner reservation recently during COVID stage 2 and as always R+O delivered amazing relsuts with their food cooked over a wood fire. A highly reccomend the cheese dip and burger! The wine as always was also top notch. This should be a stop over for anyone visiting in the area ????

We had wanted to go to Good Earth Winery to celebrate my sisters birthday and had thought we had reservations for tuesday. However when I called, they shared that the res app bumped me as they are closed tues/wed. She kindly recommended Westcott Vineyards for both ambience and food. She was right( love that Good Earth supported another winery recommendation!) They have a huge tent facing the orchard( farmer on tractor in the vineyard...added bonus) and the breeze provided relief from the heat and humidity. Our waitress was so pleasant( even joined us as we sang happy birthday to my sister) knowledgeable about menu and wines and we went with marguerita pizza.( made in a wood burning outdoor oven which added to the aromas) the charcuterie board(omg delish...everything) and the asparagus salad...another OMGmeal! All served on old fashioned real plates and mismatched silverware. We shared and sipped and enjoyed a time away from the madness and happily got caught up on each others lives. My birthday sister declared that this was the first winery of her 5 yr goal to visit every winery in the niagara escarpment....I seconded the motion and will make 'The Good Earth,' our next stop!

SMKKL

We were on our way to the falls and friends recommended this place for lunch. Great place to relax with family and friends. Food is amazing here too. Will definitely be back!

Alan Withers

We had lunch today under the tent at Westcott Vineyards. As usual the food was fantastic. It is a beautiful setting for lunch, dinner, a tasting of some great wines or just sharing a glass overlooking the vineyard. Great place, wonderful owners, excellent staff, a joy to visit!

Michael Tovey

Best wine in the region. Terrific atmosphere!

Ashley Reekers

We visited this winery for the first time and we were very impressed. The wine was fantastic. I would reccomend having more staff to accommodate all the people visiting the winery. It felt understaffed, but overall it was a pleasant visit and we plan to visit again to enjoy your patio for a meal.

Curtis Maclachlan

Excellent wine. Great tasting burger and fries.

Mehran Alaee

Wonderful restaurant, good ambiance!

Warren Fine

Another absolutely amazing dinner!!!! from the barada which compares to the best barada I've ever had in Italy. to the wedge salad which is a masterpiece in itself... Ricky and Olivia continue to knock it out of the park at westcott winery. Make your reservations early before they sell out.

Rob LV

The wine tasted ok.

Neil McMillan

Amazing food on the patio. Best trout I've ever had. The service is excellent and you won't be disappointed.

Alyssa Toffolo

Honestly I have never been so disappointed with my winery experience. I have worked in the service industry for over 7 years and I specifically worked at a winery for 4 of those years. They booked a bachelorette party for 15 ladies, and pre charged us for our tastings. 35$ a person, it was our first stop of the day and they decided that we were over served because we were loud. They kicked us out without finishing our tasting or reimbursing us, and then proceeded to yell at us to leave their winery when we were taking pictures. Saying we were ruining everyone else’s experience. I have never been spoken to in such a demeaning way before, I would never return. Highly suggest driving down the road to Sue Ann staff or Henry of Pelham. They are both extremely welcoming and wonderful!

Vicki Jansen

Ricky and Olivia are amazing. Great chefs, and even more amazing people. Would give 10 stars if I could and would recommend their restaurant to everyone. Already have another reservation!

Sharon Kennedy

Glad they were open and we're inventive enough to create a fun experience. Would have been better to have food available.

Dana McKenzie

My boyfriend made reservations here for a birthday lunch for me for 3pm. When we arrived, we were told that there had just been a party and that we would need to wait a few minutes. They were nice enough to give us a free tasting... However at 3:40pm we decided to leave. We had been given menu's at a table that was generic and available to anyone without a reservation and nobody ever came to take our order. It's a beautiful place but this was a very dissapointing experience.

Rafael Estrada

claire was great!

Colleen Bannon

What a great experience. The food was amazing the entertainment was great. Could have listen to Mike for many hours. You MUST go to Westcott Winery. Jessica was the best & because of that 9 of us tonight will definitely be returning many times!

Bill Doukas

Beautiful outdoor environment with lovely patio and scattered sitting to enjoy a glass of wine and beautiful views.

Ryan Trivett

Beautiful spot. Ate dinner with friends on the patio overlooking the vineyards. Awesome food from chef Ricky! Had a great time.

Alain Benoit

We went there as a recommendation of another wine maker for the tasting. Wines were uneven (some too sugary for us, but some nice discovery too). We didn't ate but the setup is really nice and I think that you could spend a good time with the family (there are games). Next time we'll plan a bit more time :)

Joe Bala

You must try the fries! Small winery and tasting room. Nice restaurant, great patio overlooking vines. Fresh baked bread.

Kristina

Went for roséfest. It was an amazing night and so much fun. The winery is small about gorgeous! Beautiful views too. The delphine rosé is really good. I would definitely go to lcbo and pick it up.

Diane Vandenhaak

Awesome!!

Mike Z

Wines are good, wine tasting experience was ok. The Wine Staff in the tasting room are not that warm and welcoming. Too bad since it was a great setting.

Greg Pay

Not very greindly

Tim Kennedy

Awesome time. Everyone was cool with our toddler running around in the grassy area while we ate and relaxed. Staff was accommodating and friendly and the wine was great. Food hit the spot. No complaints.

Jim Wallace

Makes excellent wine. Informal tasting venue but very friendly. Love the dogs.

Laura Watling

Thank you for making our birthday celebration a day to remember. The food and service was amazing, the staff was so friendly and helpful. The atmosphere and settings are magnificent, it reminded us of time we had spent in Italy. We will certainly come back and highly recommend your beautiful place to friends. Rex and Joan.

Matt Arruda

Westcott feels like a home away from home. They take the time to know your name , quickly learn your favourite wines and are dog-friendly. Jessica does an incredible job to make sure that all of the guests feel comfortable and well looked after. Their wines are some of the very best in Niagara and their Wine Club is a no-brainer! The value is tremendous here and our only complaint is that we don't live closer. Even still, we always look forward to coming back.

bill olinyk

Was not happy at all with the menu selection. Very limited only 4 entre'es which none of them were to my liking. Ordered bread and butter for a cost of 10 dollars as an appetizer and there were two very small buns with a big slab of butter to coat about 10 buns. I was surprised as most places give an abundance of bread and butter complimentary.

L. Thompson

Beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Food & wine were great! Staff were very welcoming & attentive. They even provide soft blankets on the patio during crisp nights!

Holly Patrick

I was extremely disappointed with my experience at Westcott Vineyards. As a part of my bachelorette celebrations, a group of 15 of us ladies booked the private room for a wine tasting and our server was very nice and informative.... until another employee (maybe another server or supervisor) came in and dramatically tapped at her watch to tell us to leave and glared at us and gave us all extremely dirty looks. Our server and the hostess gave us ZERO notice that we had to be out by a certain time and as we were leaving the owners were sitting in the restaurant and literally YELLED at us to leave. They accused us of showing up drunk, which NONE of us were. I can attest to that and I was the bride! Also none of got drunk during the tasting either! When we booked the room and tasting, we told them it was part of a bachelorette party and we would be leaving after the tasting so they were very well aware. If our server had given us any notice that we should be heading out at a certain time, we would have happily left. It was truly unbelievable how rude the lady was that came in and pointed at her watch and glared at us all as if we were young children and the owners literally yelling at us as some of the ladies actually wanted to buy some bottles of wine. Their service was so abhorrent and I would never recommend visiting Westcott Vineyards.

Kristi Dow

Food was good but didn’t come with any sides so the bill can run up quick. The wine pours seem a bit short for being a winery but the flavour profile of the wine is very good
