Sachie Mendez

We enjoyed tasting wines and staff's hospitality.

Michael Pinkus

What a fantastic winery - great people, great wines, and Simba the dog is such a friendly dog, he might be worth the visit alone.

Sarah N

Wines are among our favorites in the region and lovely ambience inside. Tasting experience was fun, our hostess was knowledgeable and clearly a hard worker as she was managing all front end tasks by herself.

Nicole Preston

Beware of a really friendly pup and really good wine. Wine was delicious! Very handsome puppy Simba who will greet you with a smile!

NATHALIA MACHADO

Awesome winery with great tastings, and a large selection of reds. Relatively new, only being open for three years.

First time Icellars. Its a small winery with a personal touch. Due to covid, they've moved their wine tasting outside. While we were sitting enjoying our wine tasting, the owner came out and chatted with us about his wines. And the lady at the wine tasting told us how they hand corked and waxed each bottle of ice wine. Very interesting.

Very friendly boutique winery. Lovely wines.

Claudette Young

My husband is so passionate about his wines and the traditional style of winemaking. IceCellars is one of his few favourites here in NoTL, because of high quality of the wines and the care of selecting the grapes!

Ian Kerr

Beautiful surroundings, interesting decor, nice wines, knowledgable staff.

Burak

Great private winery, family owned. Excellent service and engagement with customers. Awesome dog Simba ready to meet you. Great selection of wines, the Rose and Cabernet Sauvignon are unique and memorable.

Great place for all reds, Pinotnoir is my favourite, but should try Chardonnay and new oaked Sauvignon Blanc. Enjoy...????????????????

Dave Fogel

Excellent wines and very friendly. Very much enjoyed the experience.

Kim Davis

This winery is producing quality red wine that has the characterists of those from a much warmer climate. Ripe red fruits and hot, but done so with no gimmicks, just taking the gamble of ripening their fruit longer.

Been here several times and always a wonderful experience. Top notch customer service, a great wines and very friendly 'Simba' the ???? . I highly recommend this place ????

Remi Jr. Ojo

Wines are alright Aroma overpowered the taste

Jordan Shapiro

Fairly new winery, recommended by another local, new spot. We rushed there, arrived 5min before closing and got the full service tasting without feeling rushed at all. Some nice wines (we bought two whites) and a quaint location, that doesn't appear to be that well known yet.

Skylar Franke

Tasty Syrah and Arinna wines. Great service

Charles Tatossian

Great family business which deserves more recognition. Specialized in deep red wines. All 4 wines from the tasting menu were well balanced.

Corinne Araujo

This is my favorite winery, service is impeccable:)

Biroluz

This boutique winery must be in your Niagara winery visit list.

Jacquie Fuentes (Jax)

This is one fantastic winery.

Luiz Biagini

Friendly crew! Delicious wines, specially the reserve ones!

Demi Tekin

A must go n taste boutique destination if u r a true wine lover. Also very affordable for that quality. Charming atmosphere, too.

Stacey Cicone

Marcelle Lauzon

Best winery of the whole region hands down ! The quality is exceptional with a long finish a good concentration and well balanced. Must go!

Samer Abughannam

Nice winery out of the busy area. Friendly owners. Tasty charcuterie

Dana Robinson

We pre-booked here for a girls’ weekend. Unfortunately, our experience was not great. The staff was abrasive and forced us all to order the same wine because it was “easier” for them. So many great options in NOTL, so many far better options with much friendlier, accommodating staff. We would not return.

Eric Blondin

New Niagara region winery (opened in May of 2016) that doesn't dabble in ice wines or sugar wines but instead produces Bordeaux style reds that will knock your socks off! If sophistication is something that you are looking for in your wines, look no further!

Cindy Yi

It was ok. Our server was nice and the red wine is always good quality, but it was a little cool outside today and for some reason we still had to do our tasting outside. We paid extra for the reserve wines which were good, but no credit for any wines bought, the pours were all standard bare minimum, and the experience overall just ok. We know what we like here and the wines are good, but a bit overpriced and the wine tasting experience not worth it. I'd order online in the future and not return in person.

Karen Fernandes

Unique wines in a beautiful setting. Simba was a highlight and really made us feel welcome. The staff were great and super friendly. Definitely recommend a stopover if you're in the area. (book a tasting in advance)

Chris Adams

Incredible hospitality and reasonably valued wine. I love these smaller production operations - much more intimate and relaxed than the bigger ones.

Mara D

By far the friendliest winery we visited and the options were flavorful and light! We bought several bottles and the vintners even signed a few as a momento they were really fun and Simba the winery dog was wonderful. I cannot wait to go back again

Tammy Jacobsen

Lovely small winery with welcoming staff. Try the Arinna Red Blend, it's a complex and interesting with every sip. For a better experience during COVID, be sure to make a reservation for tastings.

Shelley Marshall

Best Cabernet sauvignon ever. Great winery and a must to visit if tou are in the area. Super quality of all their wines. Wonderful welcoming owners and employees.

Francine Zucco

This is a hidden gem! We have been to the Niagara region several times and have tried over 30 wineries and this is the best! Their red wines are comparable to very good European wines, the best around for sure (and I have tried over 1500 labels..). Above all, the owners are super friendly and you will get a unique experience. Their dog Simba is so cute and will make your visit even more special. Make sure to visit this place!

Jacqueline Jefferies

This is a spectacular winery, unlike any other in the region. We are always welcomed by name and with utter kindness. Simba is always there for a pat too! The wine is top-shelf.

Mathilda Winner

Wonderful place, amazing wines , incredible history.... don’t missed this winery. I suggest all my heart and wine lover personality.... P.S : please make more Wiyanna Wanda.????

Chris Car

Wonderful wines but was very disapointed with their tasting fee policy. Very expensive. All other wineries I have been to have waived the tasting fee if you buy wine from them. Here, I was charged the fee, minus $5. This was very insulting, especially since I spent $230 on 4 bottles of wine. Love the wine, but not sure I will ever go back. Thank you for your feedback. I can confirm neither myself nor the people in my party received the proper credit of $5 per bottle. We only received a $5 credit per person. 2 of us who purchased 4 and 5 bottle each, paid a 10 dollar tasting fee. Both of us each bought 2 bottles of your premium wine.

Greg Lamb

One of the very best in the region!

Paul Belisle

(Translated) Beautiful little vineyard, welcoming owners but a somewhat ordinary wine with little scent. (Original) Beau petit vignoble, propriétaires accueillants mais vin un peu quelconque et avec peu d'effluves.

Dave Newell

Great small batch winery . Bought several bottles

Megan Blondin

Some of the best wine we've had here. An open concept winery with great hospitality and the wine was a favorite of ours.

Laura Aquilina

My favourite wine in Niagara region. Lovely and welcoming winery.

Nick Scott

Was recommended this winery during a tour of another nearby spot. What a lucky find. The owner and his wife have to be one of the most charming couples you'll meet. And even if they're not around, the wine is delicious. Informative tasting with a reasonably priced charcuterie plate. Cab sauv is key here and the blends are well done. Definitely returning.

chris sehl

The team was able to accommodate us on short notice. The area was much quieter and busy then many of the other wineries we experienced. The grounds were beautiful, the wine was great, the resident golden retriever is super friendly and an added bonus.

Nithya A

What an adorable summer patio! The wine tasting experience was smooth and Tolga was very knowledgeable about the wines. Definitely try the rose for a perfect summer sip! The owners are very sweet and go above and beyond to ensure a wonderful experience! We were hungry during our tasting and though they did not have food available to order, they did provide us with some complimentary homemade pizza that the family was having for lunch which was sooooooo good and very much appreciated! Would definitely visit again! :)

Patrick Kennedy

Amazing winery in Niagara on the Lake Tasty oak aged whites Two Pinot Noir that are worth picking up to lay down for a few years Their right bank blends (Arinna and Wiyana) are both incredible - the structure on the Arinna makes me think another 5 years in the bottle and it'll still be delightful The Cab Sauvignon is worth getting a few bottles if not a case Location is beautiful and the people know their wines and are incredibly friendly Highly recommended

Mike Johnson

Great wines at this winery! They have wonderful full bodied reds and very interesting whites! Smaller Winery that packs a punch! Went on a quieter day, and met the owner, who was incredible and shared his passion for wine! I would recommend this winery to anyone, especially if you like wines, smaller wineries, and DOGS, Simba was the best winery dog yet!

Jill Duyn

Absolutely beautiful! We stopped on our way out of NOTL and were pleased we did. Arda was so lovely...thank you!

Jack Tryburski

Very lovely (and different) spot for tastings. The owners were extremely friendly (it was genuine). Several of their wines were worth the visit. Syrah also the Wiyana Wanda are just excellent! Nice dog too.

Jessica BW

This winery is one of my favourites in all NOTL! They have such lovely reds. The staff are all welcoming and friendly, and the new outdoor patio is beautiful.
