Overview

Explore one of Ontario's most celebrated wine regions, the Niagara Escarpment’s Bench. Known for its unique microclimate, the Bench provides the ideal conditions for crafting some of the province’s finest wines. Nestled between the towering Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario, the region offers not only stunning vistas but also a perfect environment for growing cool-climate varietals like Chardonnay, Riesling, and Pinot Noir. This scenic tour will take you through vineyards set on sloping landscapes where ancient limestone soils add a distinctive character to the wines. Learn about the terroir that gives Bench wines their signature minerality and elegance, while indulging in tastings at select boutique wineries. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a casual enthusiast, you'll enjoy an intimate journey through this picturesque wine country where tradition and innovation meet to create extraordinary vintages.
