Our final winery on this beautiful sunny day. The location was just a few miles from Reif. I can see how biking would be so convenient! We were greeted by Naomi at the bar. ,she asked how she could help us and we said we'd like to get a tasting. She showed us our options and we signed up for three. A Lady brought them to our table with a sheet stating which was which. They didn't have any descriptions of any of the wines, no notes, or flavor profiles. This was disappointing. We just picked based on names, without being able to see if it lived up to what the winemaker expected. In any case, we got the three tastings. They were tasty and good, but we opted not to purchase any. The grounds are nice. This was our Least favorite winery taste wise and socially. Naomi was nice, but wasn't who served us. We didn't get much insight into the wine and there were no notes. This is why the 3 stars. read more

Inniskillin was a "meh!" I didn't order food, just a tasting of 3 ice wines. The pours were minuscule and my server failed to discuss the wines. I would expect more of an interactive experience at their prices. Service was strictly order-taking and payment collection. The ambience was quiet and relaxed because the server left us on our own. If you're exploring the area then include Inniskillin, but it's pricey for what you receive and not worth a special trip. read more

Nice place to stop for a small bite and a wine tasting. The workers were very helpful and sitting outside this time of year in their yard was lovely There are picnic tables with umbrellas for about 25-30 visitors. It's very nice read more

This was my second time visiting Inniskillin, and the winery has definitely changed. They're celebrating their 50th anniversary. My husband and I shared 2 ice wine flights and a charcuterie board. The board was SO good. The jelly on there was out-of-this world. Our wines were wonderful, too. I enjoyed the sparkling ice wines the most. The reason for the 3 star review is that we simply were treated warmly throughout the duration of our visit. The person who poured our wines was also not knowledgeable about what she was serving... a real disappointment after recently coming off a wine tour in Québec City's Île d'Orléans. I just wasn't impressed, and ultimately decided that it wasn't worth checking a bag to bring any of their bottles home. I likely would not make a special trip out to this winery in the future. read more

Really lovely lovely winery with friendly staff and lots of options for Ice Wine. We had four different Ice wines. They are all home sweet as side of the one spectrum. The most special one is the sparkling Ice red white. Love the red wine nature but ice white taste with sparkling texture. read more

This was our second time at this winery. It is such a beautiful property! We wanted to do a tasting so we were directed to the original building. The server who helped us was wonderful-friendly and so knowledgeable! She answered all of our questions. My boyfriend got a tasting of three ice wines while i decided on two regular wines (a red and a white) and one ice wine. We are huge fans of their ice wine. It was as good as we remembered! We sat outside in a beautiful patio area. read more

Had a great time visiting Inniskillin! It was our first time coming here and we were very impressed. The property is beautiful. There's an area for the restaurant as well as the winery - which is what we came for. The wine selection is fantastic! You can order per glass or try one of their sampling options that give you multiple drinks. The showstopper was the Icewine! Wow! Absolutely delicious. The staff is great and super helpful. We didn't feel rushed or silly asking questions about the wine. Inside the winery, they have a nice size retail area with all the wines available for purchase as well as other gift type items. Would definitely recommend Inniskillin if you're touring the area! Grab a glass or flight and enjoy a beautiful day outside on the property. read more

Beautiful venue! Our server, Yuna, was informative and lovely to talk with. She guided us through a nice tasting of Inniskillin wines. They offer a wide variety of white, reds, and ice wines. There's something for everyone. A few food items can be purchased-crackers, dips. I believe a charcuterie board may also be purchased during the less busy days. The grounds are beautiful with nice outdoor spaces and I can envision them bustling in the summer! read more

This was our first stop of our wine tour because there was a lot of ice wine. I got the ice wine flight where you can pick any 3 ice wines. I picked 3 Vidal ice wines and they were all great! The wines were very sweet and easy to drink. I ended up buying a 3 pack of mini ice wines because they were so good! All of the staff were kind and helpful with deciding what wines to pick. The grounds itself were gorgeous and we would have loved to come back at night to see the light tunnel all lit up! read more

I can see why the nice wine at this particular winery is so popular. Granted this was the only ice wine I sampled, but it was delicious! Vidal ice wine is their most popular and famous, but I personally found it too sweet and preferred the iced Riesling. It was delicious and less sweet. We each had a 2 table wine and 1 ice wine tasting (which was the Vidal). We also ordered a separate 3 ice wine tasting with Gold Vidal, Riesling, and Sparking Cabernet franc. The Riesling was definitely my overall favorite. I was also pleasantly surprised by their delicious food. My boyfriend and I shared a jerk chicken sandwich and beef brisket sandwich. I especially liked jerk chicken sandwich; it was well seasoned and cooked. I also enjoyed the fresh and tasty side salad it was served with. Their service was also fast and efficient. The dress here ranges from casual to formal. read more

Great place to relax and taste some wine while you learn about wine as they grow and make wine around you. You can do some wine tasting, take a wine tour or just take some nice pictures around some grapevines. Great and knowledgeable staff keeps you interested and drunk, I mean entertained. Not really for the kids though. Ice wine is the best here. read more

Inniskillin is truly a fantastic winery. We stopped her during the ice wine festival and were not disappointed. I was not drinking but they had a great mocktail. My wife loved the Vidal ice wine and the chicken and waffles we had were great. The space is very cozy and the staff is very friendly as well. read more

Very cute winery with a small tasting room and plenty of outdoor seating. We visited during the off season so I don't think it would be fair to judge it beyond that it was a cute winery and perfect stop while on a wine tour of Niagara by the Lakes . read more

When my friend and I stopped in Niagara On The Lake, we had no idea it was such a famous wine region. We were seeking out dog friendly vineyards, and this one came up on our list. Inniskillin was pristine, and some of the best service I've ever had. They have rooms available to rent for events, and a ton of outdoor seating. Their wines were wonderful, as was their food. The team working there were so kind and helpful in making recommendations. They also were very considerate in checking in to make sure our needs were attended to, as well as making multiple trips to give us fresh cold water for our dogs. We had such a wonderful experience here and are looking forward to returning in the future! read more

My sister and I are visiting from the US and wanted to check out a winery. We drove around and decided on this place. As soon as she placed our flights on the bar she directed me to pay. A couple walked up behind us and she prepared their flights, placed them then walked away. I watched as other patrons did the same. Hmmm, could it be that we are the only people of color here? And of the 5 choices I selected, only 1 fit my pallet of dessert wines. #NoTip #NotHappy #WillNotReturn read more

Pricey yes but quality amazing. A bottle of ice wine is about $90 for 375mL but I can justify it. The Ice wine Vidal Gold (white wine) is so smooth and sweet and fruity and flowery and no after taste or bite. It feels like honey. It tastes like heaven though I don't know what heaven tastes like. So do a tasting and see what you like to take home to take advantage of the season for ice wine making. Remember they only get one drop of wine per grape when it's frozen. So it's painstaking work in -8 degree weather. Fun place with light festivals and food with wine tastings and private lunches and dinners. read more

If you are curious to learn more about dessert wines or already are a fan, Inniskillin is your spot! They set the standard for Canadian dessert wine in terms of both quality and the overall experience when you visit. The winery is organized and a nice space to visit. Their staff really knows the product and can make recommendations. Be sure to take home a bottle of the classic Vidal ice wine or sparkling version. Both are something special! read more

We enjoyed our ice wine and table wine tasting here. It's not as fancy as most of the places we visited back in Napa or Europe - you fill out a slip of paper at the counter and pick up a tray with your wines of choice and drink in essentially the lobby/main room of the winery which had a busy atmosphere but wasn't crowded. Service was minimal as we stuck to our table, but you can approach or stay at the counter to ask the staff any questions. It's extremely affordable compared to most of our wine tasting experiences comparison, especially if you have a Visa 'Infinite' card which is one level above Visa Signature. Since both my partner and I have the Chase Sapphire Reserve which counts, we each got BOGO wine tastings to split with the family which was a pleasant surprise! Maybe these perks are more common in Canada, but I'd never seen it in the States. The sparkling cabernet franc icewine was our favorite, along with the discovery series SR riesling. The sparkling/still vidal is too sweet but could be good if cut into a cocktail, and the baco noir was our least favorite. read more

We enjoyed our wine tasting here. It seems to be one of the more popular wineries in this area, and it was crowded at the bar. The staff was very kind and doing their best to get to everyone. We took our tasting on the patio and bought some bottles (ice wine) to take home. Can't wait to come back again! read more

Everyone knows Inniskillin obviously. The history and experience they have results in impeccable wine. If you do go for a tasting, you can feel the job market impact. The staff are two groups, the few with long years of experience, and the new hires. The newer staff aren't trained properly and can't really provide a tasting experience which corresponds to the quality of the wine. I would return however, because you can find very unique wines here that aren't available in your LCBO offices. read more

Had the most wonderful experience at Inniskillin this Sunday as part of my treat yoself day (which included wineries, lunch, and a show at Shaw - I recommend this plan to every and any Rochesterian!) I pulled up at 10:30am and was immediately shocked by how stunning the grounds were, and how expansive the winery is. A large boutique and tasting room, and rows of vines to walk through for your extra special Instagram moment. I enjoyed the table wine flight, which if $5 unless you opt to buy two bottles of wine, which I absolutely did after tasting. I am not an ice wine fan and was nervous this experience was going to be a bust for me. ABsolutely not! Their standard whites and reds are gems themselves, and I particularly enjoyed the reserve sauv blanc. The employee I worked with was a student at Brock and SO knowledgeable about Inniskillin's offerings, in addition to general recommendations for what else I could do with my day in Niagara. I will likely only go to the Falls en route to this incredible town, and I can't believe I had never been until this weekend! read more

This is our favorite winery when visiting Canada. If you haven't tried the infamous Ice Wine yet please come here! They have plenty of wines to taste and nice seating areas. The only thing I wish they did have was the ice wine slushies! We've never done a tour, just came for a tasting, but the waiters were very informative. read more

Not sure I can say much about this place, but we arrived 30 minutes before closing to be told that they had already re-corked the bottles and stored them. Was a disappointment because they had another group in there that was drinking, and this place had been recommended by my wine instructor from UNLV. Sadly, I can't say that I recommend this place due to the lack of hospitality and poor perception. They are known for their ice wine, and considered one of the best. Maybe next time I will be able to experience a more adequate level of hospitality, and try the highly talked about wines. read more

Really enjoyed this winery! We were warmly greeted by the hostess and directed to their outside covered patio. We got a cheeseboard which was enough to split between 4 and a pitcher of their white sangria which was very tasty. We also did a flight of their white wines but the pours were very tiny. Nice atmosphere and if you like ice wines this is the spot for you. read more

Inniskillian has a great 45 minute tour with tastings to offer it's visitors. James was our tour guide and he was a great tour guide; very knowledgeable about the wine process, history, and overall amicable. He took the time to answer our questions and and share his knowledge of the wines we tasted. James also gave us good recommendations for restaurants around Niagra-on-the-lake. I would definitely recommend the tour since it is an excellent deal and would come again! My knowledge on ice wine has definitely improved. read more

Came here for a wine tasting as they were known for their ice wines. We got a ice wine flight and another set to share. The ice wine was great and very sweet. All my friends and I agreed that the sparkling Vidal was by far the best. The ice wine tasting set was $20 and the other set was $15. The environment was nice and the experience was great. We ended up buying some of their signature Vidal ice wine at the end. I would recommend this place if you enjoy ice wine. read more

Love Inniskillin and their ice wines. I love coming her to learn about the history, the final product and everything else in between. I joined to be a part of the great estate club member so I'm looking forward to more amazing experiences with them. The only tiny bit of disappointment is that they are currently sold out of the sparkling - they do taste amazing, so it's not really a surprise. read more

Beautiful vineyard with great ice wines. We visited on a Saturday afternoon and were able to take our small dog into one of the tasting rooms. I was searching for something that reminded me of the greek Vinsanto wine and out of all the vineyards, this was by far the best quality I found. Our only complaint is the price. We paid $25 for 3 tastings and they were very small. I probably would recommend just a glass at that price. read more

My friend and I visited the Inniskillin winery during the Days of Wine & Chocolate Event in Niagara on the Lake and we had a really good experience. When we arrived at this winery I was absolutely famished so I was really excited to try the Dark Chocolate Chile with White Chocolate Sour Cream and Green Onions. It was made gluten free and I took a lactaid pill so I could enjoy the white chocolate sour cream. This dish was absolutely fantastic! The chile was cooked perfectly; It was full of flavour and really hearty. My only complaint would be that the portion was too small. The white chocolate sour cream added another level to the chile that was really surprising. I thought it might be a weird food combination but the chile and chocolate tasted really good together. The white chocolate didn't make the dish too sweet and it went together really nicely with the chile. This food and wine paring included a Merlot, which I really wasn't a fan of. It wasn't as smooth as I would have liked. On the other hand, my friend really liked the Merlot so it is possible you might like it as well. If you get a chance to go to any of the wine festivals in the Niagara Region, I highly recommend it. read more

Inniskillin - Casks at the entrance - Wineries Near Me - Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario

We chose to visit this winery because they have ice wine, which the region is known for. The ice wine was very good, but the process of getting a tasting was a little confusing. You enter a room with both shopping and a bar area with a register. It was a little confusing figuring out whether to pay at the bar or the register, and it took a minute to get anyone's attention. Once we did, we selected all ice wines, and brought out flight outside to the tent. Tip: there were a ton of bees at the tent. One went directly into a glass of wine, so that one was done. We loved the ice wine. It was unique and very sweet. If you're not into sweet wine (I love sweet wine), I would stay away from it. We ended up buying a bottle to bring home and save for a special occasion. Heads up, the bottles are pretty expensive. The bottles are about half the size of traditional wine bottles, and the cheapest one was I think $80. I understand that wine is expensive and that this is a unique find, but it's not one that you would buy every day due to the price and sweetness. Definitely stop in if you want the signature Niagara-on-the-Lake experience. read more

We rode in on our rented bicycles and took a load off. I'm quite glad we did, because this winery has things that others did not. For example, the fare looked, sounded, smelled fantastic. There was a Southwest Bean Salad that seemed all the rage. After eating, wine sipping and selfing the snot out of yourself in the rows of grapevines, your respite doesn't have to end there.. On hot days (like the day we went), it's also a good idea to pick up one if there frozen sangria pops. The pops have grapes frozen inside them. I suggest you sit under one of the shaded picnic tables and knock it down instead getting back on your bike like I did (Not only did the frozen pop make my hand really sticky, but I kept getting pulled over by the Ontario Providence Police for DUI. It's not what you think- apparently, due to the fact so many Canadiens operate vehicles under the influence, I kept getting fined for having too low of an alcohol by volume, which I knew was this issue, but I messed up my math because I didn't convert my numbers to the metric system, liters by volume. What are you going to do?). read more

Inniskillin is a household name when it comes to Niagara wine. We made it a point to make a pit stop at here on our trip down to Buffalo for the weekend. It was a beautiful sunny day, so it was no surprise to see a lot of people enjoying some grape juice. There's no better way to enjoy the weather than by having a few drinks out in the sun. The staff was very helpful and friendly during our visit. They gave us two containers of ice and water to keep the wine chilled, knowing that it was toasty out. We tried two different variations of their Riesling, and the consensus was that the reserve was the better of the two. The grounds had an amazing setup with tables set up outside the winery. Perfect place to catch the rays and enjoy some food with your drinks. We ordered some fries to snack on while we went through the bottles. The Riesling itself was not overly sweet which the other was. The reserve Riesling is definitely one of my favorites now after trying it. The vineyard is family friendly, lots of space for the little ones to run around. They even set up soccer nets on the grass that not too far from the tables for kids to go expend some energy. Check this place out if you're in the area! It's well worth the stop. read more

This particular winery was recommended by a bartender at our hotel in Niagara Falls. The outside of the winery may seem plain and little barren compared to the other wineries in the area but once you are inside the tasting room none of that matters. We opted to just do a tasting- 3 pours ( 2 wines and 1 ice wine) for CAN $25. With a purchase of a tasting, you also get $10 off towards your purchase of wine. The Riesling and Pinot Gris were both smooth and bright. However the standout for me was the Cabernet franc ice wine. read more

One of my favourite wines comes from here (Late Reserve Riesling), so it was on my list for the Discovery Ice Wine Pass. This is a large and supremely popular winery, so check your patience at the door. There is a tasting section off to the side. As some other reviewers have mentioned, this winery felt more commercial than boutique like (not necessarily a bad thing). It's a bit pricier than some others in the area, but the variety they have here (tends to be drier wines), you can't beat. You'll surely find something to satisfy you. There is a HUGE parking lot - not a big surprise since I saw many large bus groups here. read more

Great vineyard! I got free wine tasting and tour tickets at Sheraton. They charge $10 each, if you don't have free tickets. It's about 45mnts and 1hour. It was sunny day but winds were cold. The tour stats from the shop, outside, inside, outside, and the shop for tasting. I tried white, red, white ice, and red bubbly ice wine. I like the white ice wine. It's about $100CD. Taste: Good. Ice wine especially. Price: Pricier. Customer service: Great. Parking: Free. And massive. Location: Many vineyards around here. read more
