Celebrate the harvest with local wines paired with seasonal foods
September 27th and 28th

Take a self-guided tour along the Niagara Wine Trail this weekend and have some fun with your closest friends and loved ones.

Get inspiration for a night in or what to serve at your next dinner party with samples of a harvest themed appetizer, salad, soup, side dish, or dessert with your wine pairing at each participating member winery.

Wine tasting ticket includes:

  • Tasting of 3 wines from each participating winery location
  • A food sample to pair with your wine tasting from each winery
  • 1 keepsake wine glass from your starting winery

Designated driver ticket includes: 

  • A food sample from each winery

Tastings are valid for Saturday AND Sunday during the event.
Ticket pre-sales online end September 25th. Tickets available to purchase at the wineries during the event.

Participating wineries and pairings:

  • Anthony Manor Winery: Roasted Vegetable Flatbread with a hot maple drizzle paired with a sweet, white and red wine.
  • Bella Rose Vineyard & Winery: Mini cheesecakes paired with a selection of wines
  • Black Willow Winery: Butter nut squash and apple soup
  • Honeymoon Trail Winery: Loaded Potato Soup and homemade Wine Jelly on crackers made with our own Honeymoon Trail Wines.
    Suggested wine pairings: Spiced Red, Leon Millot, Apple, or Riesling.     Purchase all 4 wines for $50 and receive a complimentary 4-bottle gift bag (while supplies last).

  • Victorianbourg Wine Estate: Spicy meatballs slow cooked in a Pinot Noir wine sauce from a recipe in Austria’s Burgenland region, featuring fresh tomatoes, garden ripened vegetables and spices.
    The original recipe included a pinch of sugar, but we have substituted a small measure of Niagara County maple syrup which really takes it to the next level.
    Pair it with our Pinot Noir Reserve, our award winning “best of class” Regent, or for something sweet, our newest wine Drei Freundinnen.
  • Vizcarra Vineyards at Becker Farms: hand rolled, homemade donut holes paired with Spiced Apple or Apple Cranny wine
