    Fantastic experience here from going out in the vineyards and hearing about how the grapes are grafted, planted and maintained to seeing a beer brewing class and the offloading of grapes into the building to be made into wine. All while accompanied by a tasting of 3 different beers and culminating in a tasting of 3 wines paired wonderfully with cheese and chocolates. This was a Groupon experience and definitely worth it!

    Absolutely a great experience. We visited around noon and were able to try wine tastings as well as beer flights. The winery building wasn't busy and we enjoyed sitting inside at the clever barrel tables. Outside there is tonnes of room on the beer garden which overlooks the winery. For my wine tastings, I asked the host to choose for me. She asked about the types of wines I like and I was thrilled with how good her choices were. I for sure want to go back and pick up a bottle of Rosé 101. We were able to browse the selection from the brewery, cidery, and distillery in the wine centre. The other areas are closed right now so everything operates put of here. I'm glad we were able to visit Niagara College because we weren't able to do a tour of the school due to Covid-19. Future students, this is a perfect opportunity to visit the campus and try their selections!

    Incredible experience in the unique wine teaching college, the only one in the country! We went there for the ice wine festival, we tasted a lot of wines accompanied by the advise/opinions from the passionate students/alumni of this university who manage the tasting. It was really enriching and extremely pleasant, I recommend a lot!

    Wonderful airy space for tasting and shopping. We'll have to make a return visit in the summer to enjoy the patio space overlooking the vineyards. Particularly enjoyed the fortified Cabernet Sauvignon, a port style wine. Products of the NC Teaching Distillery are also on offer. Winery, brewery and distillery - definitely worth a stop in at Niagara College.

    If you book an experience here, I hope you are as lucky as we were with our guides. Priyanka, a student, was articulate, knowledgeable and obviously passionate about wine! She answered dozens of questions with poise and insight. Jane helped us with our tasting and made sure just the right wines landed in front of us. The full case of bottles and goodies in our trunk is testament to this wonderful spot and these two future leaders in Canadian wines.

    I tasted with the manager. When I told him I was in the industry and what I enjoyed generally, he brought out all of the most interesting wines that would appeal to me or that I wouldn’t have been able to try elsewhere. The wines were amazing and he was extremely well informed. I will definitely have to go back and learn some more another day!

    Omg, don't miss this one! Was added last minute by The White Oaks for us. And what a wonderful experience. Rick, a student who was selected and brought here to study wine making from Manila was an absolute pleasure! So passionate about everything and ever so informative. What an awesome time. Food truck, full store, and delicious tastings of wine and cider. GO! ♥️🥂

    Come here to taste Icewine cider and other Niagara local wines. Icewine is a very sweet wine, which may not be for everyone! Be warned - but the rest of their wines are particularly good. Just get the tasting menu so you can try different varieties

  • 5/5 Jenny M. 7 years ago on Google
    I loved coming here! Had 4 wine tastings and the guide was very upbeat and informative. The red ice wine is sweet and tastes more like raisins whereas the white ice wine tastes more like pineapple. The sales go straight back into the college course funds, so it's a good cause and a good product! Alas I passed through at the beginning of "spring" so all the vines were...well pretty dead. But highly recommend coming through here during its seasonal prime.

    Niagara College is always a great place to visit. With their extended offerings of liquors and cocktails from the distillery program is an added bonus. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable.

  • 5/5 Michael B. 10 months ago on Google
    This is an excellent winery, brewery, and distillery. One of the only places I've found a red ice wine, which is delicious along with their white. They also have a great port-style wine you must try. This is always a stop when we visit Niagara.

    Had such a lovely tour today. So nice to know the difference between an amphora and a Qvevri ( also going to be very helpful to my scrabble game) very attentive and personable staff gave such an amazing tour. Would highly recommend.

    We went for the Pop-Up Seafood lunch yesterday. It was fabulous and we are looking forward to their next event. I hope to take some continuing education programs there so I can learn to cook like ggat.

    Amazing 101 experience! We had Cynthia as our tour guide. She was very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating. My fiancee and I had the best time celebrating our anniversary there.

    I came from the US just to visit my sisters school, and winery to buy a few cases of craft beers. when I asked the bartender if they were open and if I could taste, they told me yes and they’d be with me in a minute. After 20 minutes of waiting I just left and my sister who finished two different degrees as an international student was embarrassed by my experience. Not coming back again
