Weinregion Niagara
Die Region Niagara ist das größte und konzentrierteste Weinanbaugebiet Kanadas. Eingebettet in die malerische Landschaft entlang des Lake Ontario und des Niagara River und geschützt durch die Erhebungen und Kämme des Niagara Escarpment, gedeihen Weinberge auf der Niagara Peninsula, Niagara Benchlands und Niagara-on-the-Lake mit einem Terroir, das sich perfekt für Weine aus kühlerem Klima eignet. Da die Weinproduktion so wichtig für die Kultur dieser Region ist, beherbergt sie auch Kanadas einziges Ausbildungsweingut, das Niagara College Teaching Winery and Culinary Institute.
Genieße das ganze Jahr über köstliche Weine aus Rebsorten wie Chardonnays, Rieslingen und Spätburgundern. Saisonal findest Du auch herrliche Rosés, beliebte Spätlese-Chargen und natürlich Eiswein.

Best time to visit Niagara wineries
Wine lovers will be happy to hear wine appreciation at Niagara’s Wineries is a four-season affair.
The warm summer months of June, July and August deliver long days outdoors, dining al-fresco and local farm stalls and markets brimming with fresh wine-pairing fruit like strawberries and peaches. Harvest season runs from September through November and is an equally attractive time to tour Niagara’s wineries, with the splendour of the fall colours as a dramatic backsplash.
Try Icewine
Arguably Niagara’s most famous product is its world-renowned Icewine, which is made from frozen grapes. Sample award-winning Icewine from a number of wineries in the region.
