We had a great wine tasting here that was unusual. Laura put out 6 glasses and had us taste each wine without knowing what they were and asked us to choose our favorite by taste. There were 4 reds and 2 whites. Then she brought out the bottles and told us what each one was named. We enjoyed the Blind tasting and did buy one of the bottles that we both liked. It was a unique tasting as we had visited other wineries who ask you to choose which wine you would like to taste. Ridgepoint and Laura have a unique approach! Good for her.

Foreign Affair has the best collection of red wines in the whole region, I highly recommend this winery, have been here 4 times in the last 4 months. Their Cab Franc, Gran Q, Temptress and Cab Sauv are amazing, if you appreciate great wine, this place is a must visit.

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.
4. Alvento Winery
Overall Ratings

Alvento Winery, located in Vineland, was founded in 2001 near the waterfront of Lake Ontario. The 13.4-acre vineyard is owned by Zhang’s family, who fell in love with the region five years ago. Small batch wines are now crafted from established vines that offer quality fruit with subtle complexities. Vineyards are planted on long gentle slopes and enjoy uninterrupted sunshine throughout the day. Winds from the deep waters to the north, cool the sun-drenched vineyards in the summer and warm them on chilly nights. The wind, rain and sun moderate the climatic conditions throughout the season for steady, even ripening. This ancient bond between these elements bring great promise to this special agricultural land.

A hidden gem that was undoubtedly our favourite stop amongst many on a warm August afternoon: friendly staff, fabulous flavourful wine, lovely setting ('wine among the vines'). We will return once their outdoor tasting area is up & running! We bought 3 bottles: 2 chardonnay, 1 cab franc. Thanks to the owner Andrew for giving the visit a personal feel- and for snapping a few great photos of us! Cheers.
6. Cave Spring Cellars
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 129 reviews
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.

The first stop on our recent wine tour and by far the most authentic and informative. Great wine in a beautiful setting. Not to be missed
7. Vineland Estates Winery
Overall Ratings

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.

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.
8. Thirty Bench Wine Makers
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 141 reviews
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

Went wine tasting for my friend’s birthday & we were served by Emily. Although she was new to the team, she showed great knowledge and had a bubbly and fun personality. It was our first and most memorable stop we made that day! Being in the wine industry myself I was very impressed! Thanks again!????????
