Visitors are constantly coming to the Niagara Region to experience one of our greatest commodities, wine. Our climate and overall atmosphere is a perfect fit for this complex passion.
Beginning June 14 & 15 and continuing June 21 – 22, the wineries of Niagara will play host for the New Vintage Festival. One of our favourite ways to experience the festival is with the Wine and Food Pairings Discovery Pass. For a mere $40, you can indulge in food and wine pairings from 8 different wineries, all over Niagara. That’s only $5 per stop! Don’t worry though, if you arere the designated driver, you will be able to try 8 different mocktails paired with food.
