Niagara Grape and Wine Festival is Must to Visit
The best way to explore wineries is by bike, walking or guided tours, as the mid/end of September is ideal for vintage celebration and events it brings.
With numerous happenings available this is the place where to experience one of the most popular Niagara Festivals and one of Canada's unique wonders.
Did you know that Niagara Peninsula produces more than 80 % of Canada's grapes for wine production?
Wine tourism in Niagara is four season experience. Fall is the time for grape harvest and winter for Icewine grapes, making these seasons to be the perfect time the and to avoid long tasting lines.
In spring, there is a New Vintage Niagara Festival with two-week presentation of the new wines, gala tasting and garden party. Niagara Grape and Wine Festival occurs in the fall and 14-day Icewine Festival in the winter, when thousands of visitors are celebrating Niagara wines and Icewine.
With hundreds of thousands people visiting Niagara Wine Festival, this great event became one of the largest celebrations of Ontario award winning wines, wineries and vineyards.
