Cornerstone Estate Winery

Nestled in the heart of the glorious beauty of the Niagara Peninsula, in Beamsville Ontario, Cornerstone Estate’s relaxed and tranquil surroundings provide the perfect natural conditions to produce some of the most exceptional wines available. Founded in 2002, this family owned and operated winery creates premium quality wines from their own meticulously handpicked and hand sorted grapes. At present, Cornerstone Estate is concentrating their production efforts on limited productions, which results in only the finest quality VQA certified wines. We are proud to offer an impressive line of white and red wine varieties. Their award winning Ice Wines are among the most popular, but over the past few years the Fruit Wines and Fine Ports have gained particular favour with wine lovers and connoisseurs all around the world.

Nina is an excellent wine tasting ambassador for Cornerstone Estate Winery. She puts everything she has into making you understand what makes each wine different from the other before you take your first sip of each. We have spent several visits at this winery over the last 2 years, sometimes bringing friends, sometimes bringing other family members and many times just my wife and I. We have bought cases composed of over a dozen varieties of their wines. Keep an open mind and taste everything that is being offered. This winery narrowly beat out 3 other wineries of the 44 wineries that we have visited in the Valley, Bench, Beamsville, Jordan and NOTL areas for the amount of different selections that we have chosen. We selected a Riesling from this winery to stand beside a picture of our daughter's Sourdough bread on her MoBarrie Bakes Instagram page.

Kacaba Vineyards Winery

Reviewed By Travelkid0

My partner and I spent a weekend trying new wineries and exploring the Bench area. We are experienced wine enthusiasts who are quite familiar with Niagara on the Lake, but had never spent much time in the Bench. Kacaba winery was one of our favourite stops on this weekend. From booking our appointment to the tasting to leaving with a few bottles, we had nothing but the best experience and service. Mark gave us an excellent tasting experience, and took the time to find out what we were interested in (big, bold, beautiful reds!) -- of which Kacaba has plenty of. The only concern we had was how many bottles of wine we couldn't help but purchase! Definitely a must-stop spot if you're looking for friendly and knowledgeable service and some outstanding wines. We will definitely visit again.

Cave Spring Cellars

As Cave Spring Vineyard celebrates 35 years of winemaking excellence, it is with a sense of deep appreciation for the place our wines are born. Cave Spring has established itself as one of Canada’s most acclaimed wineries. The distinct soil and climate of our vineyards on the Beamsville Bench have and will always play a critical role in the ongoing journey of crafting elegant and distinctive cool-climate wines.

Vineland Estates Winery

Open all year, Vineland Estates Winery is not only the home of fine wine and cuisine, but an unmatched touring facility and wine country destination. At this picturesque venue, extensive vineyards on the bench of the Niagara Escarpment provide the stunning backdrop to a unique cluster of carefully restored historic buildings.

Reviewed By davehC9334PU

It has been 20 years since I got to visit Vineland Estates (kids and life just kinda happen) and upon entering the wine shop, I was immediately taken back to the many previous happy times that I had while visiting. I was amazing to sit in the loft and sample some of their splendid wines and look out over the estate and the Niagara Escarpment. With all of the uncertainty going on on the world, it was a nice reminder that better days lie ahead. Next time we visit, we will be sure to visit the restauruant for an exceptional meal. If you are looking for a place where you can relax and enjoy life, Vineland Estates is an excellent option.

Thirty Bench Wine Makers

One of the first true boutique wineries in Niagara with vineyards first planted in 1980. Thirty Bench has hit full stride in the last few years with the focus on small lots of low-yield handcrafted wines. The winery has earned numerous accolades, including Canada's Best Small Winery of the Year 2015 and Winemaker of the Year 2015. Single-block, old-vine Rieslings are the soul of Thirty Bench; equally fine reds and Chardonnays have also emerged since the 2005 vintage. At the winery, enjoy personalized seated tastings with beautiful views of the vineyards and Lake Ontario in the distance. A visit to the rustic winery, or joining their email list, is the best way to access the winery's new and library wines. Winter - October 13 to June 30: 11am - 5pm Saturday’s 10am to 6pm Summer - July 1 to October 10: 10am - 6pm

Calamus Estate Winery

Reviewed By pdotnndd

Calamus winery was amazing for my sons wedding especially during covid. Peter and Makayla went over and beyond to make it a truly special experience. Communication with them was a daily email if needed and was needed when our plans had to be altered many times. We used the upstairs loft for 25 guest and 155 on zoom. From the bridle suite to the downstairs wine cellar there are endless great photo opportunities and plenty of space to spread out, be safe and have a lovely wedding cermony, wine tasting and charcuterie boxes for our guests. And their wine was spectacular! Can't wait to go back next summer for a real party. Thank you for making our day truly special especially in these tough times.
