Reviews of Leonard Oakes Estate Winery (Winery)

A lot of wines to try. Knowledgeable and friendly staff

Super cute and well run orchard and winery. We wanted to get out, enjoy the weather and pick some apples this year. I looked up some reviews and LynOaken (apples) was highly recommended and offered a lot of varieties. A huge bonus was that there was a winery next door (Leonard Oakes). You will want to make advance reservations for apples or wine tasting during the pandemic. The winery, Leonard Oakes Estates, next door also had outdoor seating. I think there was indoor as well if you wanted. $10 got you 3 generous tastings and an ample choice of charcuterie, nuts, etc. There were a lot of tasty wine and ciders to choose from. As for the apple orchard $7 included parking and a small bag of non specialty apples. You could buy more u-pick or prepicked apples on site. When you arrive there is a super cute country store set up with pre picked apples, cider, baked goods, vegetables and other treats. Once you check in there are wagons you can use to lug apples or transport kids which was a nice bonus. The area is large but not too spread out so it’s nice to take a family and kids can’t go too far. The staff is helpful and knows a lot about their products. Delicious and fresh apples and very clean and well run place. The service was great and everyone was following covid guidelines.

Wish I took photos but I was too distracted thinking why they call this wine. The color, consistency, and taste were completely off…. The charcuterie board aka their “large snack plate” was questionable.. lunchables would’ve been more appropriate especially with their price. Decided to try the local beer on tap, and that was alright. The Ice wine was amazing though.

Best winery in the area.

Great Service, Apples are delicious, the way you want your apples to taste, also did a wine tasting .worth the ride

Very enjoyable wine tasting experience.. Depending on the day and time, it's recommended to make reservations. The $10 deposit (per person) needed to reserve your table, will be applied to your final bill. When it comes to the tastings, there is a wide range of varieties to choose from. You have Ciders (Steampunk), dry wines, and sweet wines. They even offer liquors from other manufacturers. I suggest ordering the snack tray for $10 to pair with your choices. The snack tray had a very good tasting roasted pepper dip. I ordered a tub of that to go. Well worth the visit and looking forward to coming again

GREAT winery on the Niagara wine trail! Service is excellent, has a 'made in NY corner' and housemade items to pair with tasting make this a MUST stop place on your list of winery's to visit! Many items to bring home with your favorite bottle of wine or cider, like apples, cheeses, jams, cookies and chocolates. Even carry bags of my beloved Steamworks Coffee from Lockport! Love, love, love the Escape Rose and the Reisling! Don't forget to try a wine slushy! YUM.

Great local wine. Their Steampunk cider is awesome if you like carbonated cider. Also every year they throw a steampunk fest.

Katelynn Gurbach

Loved the dry Riesling! And their cocktails are excellent! You must try the CinnaPunk!

My band played there. It was a great time. Management was awesome, people were cool.

Christopher Carlsson

Lovely place with excellent ciders, locally brewed beer and distilled spirits available in their tasting room and fun festivals and open space for events. Highly recommend the yearly Steampunk Festival !

April Fearby

Beautiful venue. Friendly and helpful staff every time I go.

Jarett Chizick

Best place for a first date in Niagara or Orleans County. If nothing else, stop by for a bottle of 2015 ice wine. You'll thank me.

Tom

Cider week. Great choices, great staff, great location.

Jan Robinson

This is our second year coming here. Such a great welcoming and family friendly place. Lots of space for the kids to run around, wagon rides, cider donuts, a reading corner, corn hole, picture taking places and, of course, apples. The bakery has cookies, candy and pie and the winery has plenty for the grown ups to enjoy. If you're looking to pick apples and enjoy the peace that comes from getting out of the city, this is the place. The staff are all welcoming and helpful. As a note for those with pups, dogs are no longer allowed.

Wayne Litchfield

Great people. I personally like the bakery side. Apple's and a mountain of other choices

Sarah Hallifax

Great wine and cider paired with friendly knowledgeable staff!

I used the "contact us" box on the website Thursday to make the winery aware my family & I would like to visit for a Saturday tasting. Arrived Saturday and was turned away by a man who said they only had 2 reservations all day and we weren't 1 of them. We took our business elsewhere. Another bus arrived as we were doing the walk of shame and they also were turned away. so my advice would be to call and reserve a spot to be on the safe side!

Potter Dee

One of the top wineries in the Niagara region and without question, the best fruit-forward cider on the market.

Eric Davis

Went to the "Garlic & Grapes" event, and Sarah did a phenomenal job, as always.....we'll DEFINITELY be back.

Wonderful apples. Friendly people.

Arik Haas

Excellent, well adapted to the restrictions put in place by covid, I recommend the larger of the two charcuterie boards, as all of the options available pair well with their wines. Staff was attentive and engaging despite it being as full of a house as permissable.

Heather Mills

Really great wines, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Definitely try the Paragon, and the 2017 Riesling is delicious. Very reasonably priced selection and the decor inside is nice. Also a cute country store. Would definitely return!
