Niagara-on-the-Lake Wine Country! - Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake

Welcome to
Niagara-on-the-Lake
Wine Country!
We’re 27 wineries nestled below the Niagara Escarpment
amidst a landscape of vineyards and orchards stretching from
the picturesque Niagara River Parkway to the shores of Lake
Ontario. We’re a close-knit neighbourhood of wineries each
with a unique personality. You’ll see this when you step up to
our doors and you’ll taste it in our wines.
Visit our large estates, medium-size operations and boutiques (we recommend that
you mix it up) and you will see that when it comes to our wines size does not matter.
Behind the doors to each winery you’ll find friendly staff, stylish and relaxed tasting
rooms and a wide range of wines to sample. Here you can experience the life of a winery.

About Our Terroir
The term “appellation” simply means name, or designation. It’s commonly applied in wine-growing
regions to identify the grape’s region of origin. When you’re renowned for making terroir wines it’s
important that the birthplace be noted. We want you to know exactly where in Niagara-on-the-Lake
your wine was grown.
Within the Niagara Peninsula viticultural (grape-growing) area, Niagara-on-the-Lake is classified by VQA
Ontario (Vintners Quality Alliance Ontario) as a distinct area. Bordered by the Niagara Escarpment,
Lake Ontario and the Niagara River, our wineries share a climate moderated by the Escarpment and
Lake Ontario. Yet, across this expanse of land, our wineries are differentiated by geology, soils, elevation,
temperature and precipitation, creating four distinct growing areas, or sub-appellations.
NL Niagara
Lakeshore Vineyards receive abundant sunlight
and temperatures are moderated by lake breezes. Sandy
soils provide good drainage and the grapes produce
full-bodied, flavourful wines.
fm Four
Mile Creek The largest of the four sub-appellations,
sb
St. David’s Bench This area, carved by glaciers to form
a natural bench below the Escarpment, has natural frost
protection.Vineyards are planted on gentle slopes for
good drainage in the rich clay soils.
NR Niagara
the area lies below the Escarpment stretching into a fertile
plain. Red shale soils contain silt and clay and are optimal
for growing many varietals.
River The Niagara Parkway winds along this
narrow band bordering the Niagara River. Vines dig
deep into the sandy soils and air currents moderate
temperatures.
