Not a huge fan of writing negative reviews, but I really think that it’s important for people driving in hours from out of town to know what they are getting and not be blindsided the way we were! My apologies in advance for the length of this review as well. Also, the wine tour and restaurant are listed as one listing on google maps. The restaurant was a 1/5 and the wine tour was 4/5. However, in order for this to be honest the overall is still 1/5 overall as I cannot rate the restaurant lower than 1/5. I typically get excited when I see a smaller menu (1 page) as I know that these are the best this chef has to offer. This was not the case tonight! Let’s start with the Trius Kitchen Snacks (included with the 2 or 3 course meal which we did). The chilled tomato soup with Greek yoghurt was nothing special and didn’t really match anything else on the menu. The Salmon rillettes had a cool form factor and nice crunch from the shell. The flavour was lacking however. On to the appetizers. Ironically enough, they warned my wife that the duck was the first day on the menu (not even on their online menu), and it was the only thing that potentially should have been there. It had unique flavours that seemed like they could work together. It nicely balanced sweet and savoury. My dish was the FISHERVILLE TOMATO CARPACCIO. The tomatoes had an almost Buffalo sauce applied to them which was odd. The cheese, prosciutto and tomatoes normally should go well together but flavours were lacking. The chef tried to bring them in with a balsamic gel but the flavour profile didn’t complement the ingredients being used. A simple balsamic reduction would have been better at this point (don’t reinvent the wheel just for the sake of reinventing the wheel) On to the mains. My wife got the PASTRAMI SPICED ONTARIO BEEF STRIPLOIN which was beautifully plated and served a proper cooked medium rare. Unfortunately, the cut was tough and chewy. I got the BACON WRAPPED ONTARIO CORNISH HEN. Again, plated beautifully, however, it was stuffed with what tasted like sausage which normally I wouldn’t mind except the spicing of the sausage didn’t match the rest of the dish. The rapini was nice, and the gnocchi, while oversized, had decent texture. The rest of the dish was a hodgepodge of flavours and sauces that had no business being on the same plate. The smoked apple purée and mustard dressing didn’t suit the dish and overpowered the flavours of the meat and veggies in a very bad way. For dessert….we actually cancelled the rest of our tasting and went to town to get some more palatable food. This has never ever happened to us before as we truly enjoy culinary experience good or bad. This was terrible on so many levels. From service being slow despite the restaurant being empty, and not even asking how the food is, to the poor wine parings, there is almost no redeeming qualities. We booked through the Open Table App and there was only one time spot available (usually a good sign). Combine that with a 4.4 rating on google and we figured it was worth a try, especially since we did the wine tasting tour there earlier that day and it was a good time with some nice social media inspired backdrops. Now it all makes sense why this large, nicely decorated restaurant was empty! The chef has mastered designing good looking plates, but everything else was a train wreck. You shouldn’t be craving McDonald’s to cleanse the palette after a $250 meal. We even walked away with full glasses of wine, something that shouldn’t be possible at a winery of all places!!! The wine was not opened in front of us, but it tasted old, like it was opened many meals ago. All in all, this was a truly disappointing, dissatisfying and utter waste of money. It’s a shame as the wine tour was fun and playful. Would not recommend with the current menu.

I hate posting negative reviews, but people need to know what they are signing up for prior to visiting the restaurant. It’s an expensive, not worth it, money grab. You leave hungry and sad. The menu is limiting, bite-sized, confusing options. I get they are trying to mimic the 5-star vibe but this isn’t the way. I don’t know what crowd they cater to, but it’s unrealistic. The wines are sold separately, incredibly overpriced. Go to your local LCBO and get the whole bottle cheaper than a glass that’s sold here. If you want to sip wines and enjoy yourself, sign up for the tasting tour, you’ll be more satisfied. Will not come here again. This restaurant has ruined the entire winery for me.

We did a tour and dinner at Trius and highly recommend both. Trius has done a great job of creating engaging spaces for their tour that teach you about their wine and process. We especially loved the rose tower and sparkling house. Our tour guide - Karen - was so knowledgeable and friendly - she really made our experience wonderful. The dinner was equally great. They have lovely indoor and outdoor dining areas and the service was top notch - attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. The food was superb and they were easily able to accommodate most items to be gluten free. The server knew exactly what the adjustments would be and the results didn’t make me feel like I was missing out. Highly recommend it for anyone with food allergies and anyone who loves quality food.

Decent service and some good food at restaurant. Great amuse-bouche and first courses, absolutely delicious. Main course Halibut cooked perfectly, tender and so juicy. Unfortunately for the beef dish, striploin a bit bland when cooked medium rare and cut before served, juice ran or dried up, garnishes outshine the star instead. Good desserts, especially the ice cream in the "S'more" is so wonderfully balanced, wished it had more of it and a little less of the mousse and marshmallow to balance out the overly creamy sweetness. Overall still a very nice meal. Great wines too.

Went for the Trius Tour with my sisters and had a great time. The rest of the group didn't show up in time, so we ended up on a private tour with our guide Barry. He was so wonderful and knowledgeable - and made the tour fun. Highly recommend Barry.🙂If you visit Trius - def do this tour with the beautiful backdrops.

Today was an amazing experience! Had lunch at Trius Winery and Wow it was 6 Star. I did the 3 course, pictures attached of our Food. Rachelle was our waitress, she was very attentive to our needs. I would highly reccomend the lunch. Very delicious❤

This winery has a big conference Center for event and wedding. There's a restaurant with patio beside beautiful fountain. There are many well designed and arranged landscaping attractions in winery such as gazebo, lookout, grape field... The store is great too. Each wine is arranged very well.

Great place to go for a meal and wine pairing. The dishes were beautifully plated and each dish has it's own wine pairing option. The patio opens to a nice courtyard and faces towards the rows of grapes for a nice atmosphere. There are a lot of people running around snapping pictures for their instagram rather than enjoying the food and drink but I enjoyed the experience and plan to return.

Beautiful winery and restaurant. Went with my family and what a surprised. The menu is seasonal with fresh products and beautiful curated. The staff was amazing! You have 2 options, full menu or half, portions are good (more on the small size for some). I had the half and was perfect.

I would love to give this 5 stars because the restaurant deserves 6 stars. However, the tour was less than I expected since I had done it before with work. As I had hyped it up to my wife our expectations were high. The tour guide seemed to rush our experience especially the sabering of the sparkling wine. That was done so quickly that almost no one was able to capture it on video. She didn't describe it until after as she was pouring. She allowed time for photos but the guided tour seemed to suffer. The restaurant was an amazing dining experience. the food was amazing and the menu changes often. My wife and I were celebrating her birthday and we were blown away with the service and the presentation of the food. Every dish was superb and the wine pairings were perfect.

We were 4 adults and 2 infants that went for lunch. The restaurant is very clean and fancy. The staff was friendly and our server, Rachel, was great! She was very accommodating with our babies and she was extremely pleasant and polite. To top things off, the food and wine were delicious! We will definitely be back.

Ed did the most amazing tour for my bachelorette party! He is very knowledgeable , funny and outgoing. I would highly recommend this winery and Ed for any event or party. Thank you Ed for an amazing time and making my day so special! ❤️

Have to say, Superb, Magnificent, exquisite!! Simply top of the top ! Food is amazing, the three course is simply perfection reflected on every single ! Top gastronomy. Now, when comes to describe the service and experience there is not enough compliments that i can give ! CHRIS is just AMAZING, he shares love and passion when describing every meal, WOW ! EVA, she is definitely a jewel, what a way to lead a team, she is above and beyond on every single detail, definitely Marvelous!! Kudos to the chef and and backstage artists ! You definitely express your passion in every dish! We will be back again very soon !!

I usually have a few wine tastings here each year… Yes it’s so fun to go with the girls. They offer great photo opportunities. Of course the wine is great and the food is excellent. I always seem to leave with something from the shop as well. Bought this awesome bowl to chill my bubbles and most recently this hat🥂🍾👒

Overall, I liked it (just like the rating cites). Great area, views, service was excellent from Kelly, and the flight of 3 wines was really good too. It's right beside the Gretzky Winery with a connecting path which is pretty neat too. Only reason I'm rating 4 stars is the price for a small serving of French fries was $13....they were great don't get me wrong but that's way too steep for some deep fried potatoes. The store was good as well, picked up some wine and souvenirs.

It was a great winery tour experience. Excellent customer service and the tour guide is professional. It has some interesting facilities such as the infinity room. Food at the restaurant was amazing. Even though it doesn't seem like it has a huge vineyard, I still highly recommend this winery.

Wonderful! My son did the wine experience tour and loved it. I ate at the restaurant with my husband and my son joined later. The food was outstanding. Everything was delicious and well cooked. Not too salty. Just right. The grounds were pretty and everything was just lovely.

We recently celebrated my birthday at the Trius Winery Restaurant. We had a lovely table on the patio and Chris was our server. The prix fixe menu had wonderful choices plus we were served an amuse bouche which was outstanding. We felt the pricing was very reasonable. We have already recommended the restaurant to friends. We would definitely go back again! Thank you Chris for being a wonderful server and making my birthday special.

Winery and Fine Dining in the heart of Niagara. Great place to stop over, buy some of the great wines or dine with the family. Warm and accommodating service with a great view of the winery. Food presentation was top notch but portions are rather small. The bread that was served was cold. A bug was flying around and occasionally landing on the bread. Overall id rate it 3 stars

We went to the Trius Winery last week. The ambiance is great, the wines are good. Food is great but portions are so small for the price you pay. Please be careful before you eat one of their chocolate truffles dessert. They have caramel bits in them and one of my crowns came off. We told the waiter to let the chef know it was more than normal chewy. He Didn’t seem to care .Not good customer service. Sorry.

The restaurant is very fancy and well-decorated. They have two-course and three-course options. They also offer vegetarian food. We were a group of 10 and ordered different meals, everything was very tasty and well-served. Highly recommended for a special occasion!

Beautiful place to enjoy wine and food. Very nice surroundings and nice tours of the facilities. Great place to buy your favorite trius wines that may not be regularly stocked in LCBO near you. The restaurant was fantastic. The people who work there are very courteous and helpful.

I highly recommend trying Trius Winery especially if you are planning to visit Niagara on the Lake. My friends and I loved Trius so much and a big reason is because of our tour guide Harry! Harry is the best!

Trius is a beautiful place. The location is excellent both indoors and outdoors. Well kept and the dining area by the vineyard with fresh air is so refreshing. The staff are kind, attentive and excellent. The wine pairing was excellent. The burrata (appetizer), strip loin (main) and caramel bar (dessert) was delicious and timing was great. The Trius Ice Wine was the best wine Ive had compare to the other wineries Ive been to.

Party of 12 for lunch.We had a small celebration for a bride to be. Everything was amazing.Starting with the young man that was the host at the door,the private dining area with a beautiful view,the menu and food was top notch.Service was above and beyond.would definitely return.we are local.

Came here for Taste of the Seasons and I loved it! It has great wine a great aesthetics. It feels more modern compared to some of the boutique wineries in the area. I loved the wine and food pairings. Also a cute spot for some good Instagram photos. I highly recommend!

Have been here a couple times for #TheTriusTour - not only is the wine tasty, but the tour provides you with those perfect instagram pics. We had Harry as our tour guide and he was absolutely lovely, even offered to take photos for my friend and me. Always a fun time at Trius!

Excellent spot, make sure you do the Trius Tour. And get the tour with Greg. He's awesome, he loves what he does and is very professional and knowledgeable. Loved the ice wine, the roset and Greg's performance with a sabre is commendable! Highly recommended!

Had a wonderful first experience at Trius yesterday. The service was truly outstanding, and the staff went above and beyond to make our evening special. We sauntered over the bridge and through the beautiful grounds from Wayne Gretzky estate (which is conveniently right beside Trius- definitely stop there first for a cocktail and a lawn game!). I left a note on our reservation that it was my partner’s birthday, and we were greeted with a glass of bubbles, and seated right next to the fountain. It was such a special touch, and really made us feel so welcome and special. Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, and very kind. Timing between the courses and wines was spot on. We each had the two courses (salmon and chicken dish with pumpkin blondie and peach tart for dessert) and were also served bread and a small amuse-bouches to start. the food was absolutely delicious. The flavors were delicious and the meat cooked to perfection. I would particularly recommend the salmon dish - the vinaigrette sauce was out of this world! Portion sizes were perfect for us too. My partner had the wine pairing (which featured a generous pour of wines that really brought out the flavors of his dish) and I had the wine flight (which I’d recommend if you want to try some nice wines with dinner but have to drive after - the amount was perfect). The dessert plate even featured a sparkler and a “happy birthday” message in white chocolate (not pictured because we ate it too quickly!). All in all, Trius was such a treat and we cannot wait to come back next time we’re in Niagara. Would highly recommend!

The whole experience was really good. The restaurant offers a nice environment for a romantic dinner. We had told them we were celebrating our anniversary, and the mention it when they brought some champagne to start. They also included some bread with wine butter and shots of soup/cream (kitchen snacks). Then, to begin we had the Duck and the Eggplant. The Duck paired great with a rose and the eggplant sweetness mixed with prosciutto combined really well with a Pinot Noir. The mains were the beef and the Halibut. Of course the fish paired with a white wine and the beef with a Merlot. That last was amazing! And to finish, we had the cheese and icewine. We ended up buying those at the store. Great flavours, great pairing, great hosts. Thanks!

This place was spectacular. Right from the start with our server Chris C. He was very professional and realized we had never had an experience like this before. He could answer all of our questions and gave us plenty of options. And OMG the knowledge of the wines and vineyards the man had was impressive. Then there was the food. It was glorious. When they say that the meat melts in you mouth!!!! Well it did. The trip was worth every penny. Thank to Chris, Chefs and the staff.

Great atmosphere and service. Menu was very good, and a lot of great options for wine. Overall asthetic and location is beautiful with lots of photo opportunities and lush greenery.

This place offers various experiences in terms of wine tasting. It is also very instagram-friendly with various places set to take cool pictures. We went for the 3 courses dinner with the wine pairing. Everything was absolutely delicious and the somelier was very informative on the quality of the wines. If you are planning on visiting vineyards in the region this one should be on top of your list.

Love it! We come down here all of the time. Great wines, great food, fun little events and tastings. The staff are great as well. It's also a two minute walk to Wayne Gretzky's Distillary.

We had a great time at Trius Estates Winery for lunch today! We had 3 courses for $70 and a flight of white wines for $16. The food was surprisingly pretty good. We had the cauliflower, cheese board, house snacks, and tomato salad. Servers were really nice and super helpful and truly made the experience wonderful. The grounds are beautiful as well

This is a very popular winery in Niagara On The Lake. I recommend booking reservations in advance even on a weekday. There’s plenty of shade in the outdoor dining areas. The tastings are a bit more expensive ($20) than other wineries in the area. They are delicious wines and had a variety you could select as some wineries have preset tastings. There’s a nice small path to walk around the winery at the back.
