If you like sparkling wines this place is a must stop for you. The grounds and tasting room are beautiful. The staff is super knowledgable and you can tell they are passionate about their work. They have seated tastings. I have always done my tastings inside their tasting room, I am not sure it works outside. My girlfriend wanted to try some of their sparklings. After hearing in detail the explanation on what to expect with all 5 of the options, she decided she wanted to try them all. They were very accommodating with this since they usually only do a tasting of 3. Throughout our tasting the lady kept checking on us, asking if we had any questions or if we needed anything else. Some Spice Girls conversations were had and we left very happy with some bottles of French style sparklings. read more

Kew Vineyards - Feb. 2019 tasting menu - Wineries Near Me - Lincoln, Ontario

Beautiful and relatively new winery in the Beamsville area. I had stopped by Dillon's, and asked if they recommended any local wineries and they advised me to check out this place for good quality wines at a decent price (most bottles range from $18-35). I was so happy to discover this place! The grounds are beautifully kept with a nice garden, the vineyard, a historic house (where there is a gorgeous tasting room and boutique -- a very 'French country' vibe), and a lovely shaded patio. There is a lot of space to spread out and relax. Wine tasting is $5 (for 3 samples) or $10 (for 3 samples + cheese board). Everyone seemed to be going for the latter, which included fresh baguette with herbes de provence olive oil, a sheep's milk cheddar and a gruyere cheese. Definitely worth it! They give you a list of their wines to choose from, as well as a sheet where you can take notes. Definitely appreciated. The young woman who served us was lovely. Very warm, friendly and able to provide a lot of descriptions about the wines. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel welcome and this is a place to relax and take your time enjoying the different wines. They do a couple sparkling wines which were quite refreshing, as well as a really unique Marsanne - super light and great for summer. I will definitely return when I'm passing through the area. This has been one of my favourite wine tasting experiences in Ontario (comparing to NOTL and PEC). read more

Kew has beautiful grounds and I love the way they've decorated their tasting room. They have a lovely outdoor seating area and the way everything looked, I was expecting a little more. We were greeted by the woman in the tasting room and she was pleasant enough, but once we picked our 3 sparkling wines for our flight and went outside to sit down, she just quickly ran through what they were, poured and left us. It was such a hot day that by the time we got to the 2nd and 3rd tasting, the wines were a little warm for our liking. I will say I did very much enjoy the sparkling wines we had though and we ended up buying a bottle. For us though, it's also about the interaction with the tasting room attendants and getting information about the winery, which we really didn't get. B+ on the sparkling wines, C+ on the service. read more

Absolutely STUNNING décor and grounds! I think the interior was my favourite thing about this vineyard. I read somewhere that Kew Vineyards specialises in Sparkling Wine. However, I found out that all of their items are dry. So they were just not to my palate. Sparkling Wines were slightly better than wines, Wines were just waaay too dry. Tasting was $10/3 Sparkling and $8/4 Wines (1 Sparkling was included), no nibbles. The gentleman who did our tasting was quite informative. I didn't find the young women there very friendly. They were a bit more stand-offish. Worth the stop ESPECIALLY if you're into the drier stuff! read more

This winery is located in an old Victorian house. It's small, but has very nice, personalized service. The wines are excellent, and the artwork on the labels is a nice touch as well. We would come back again! read more

Ah Kew, with your interesting bubbles, and beautiful back yard, and cozy tasting room, we love you! Been coming here with my wife and friends for the last few years and always have a great time. The sparkling offerings are as diverse as traditional to more unusual, but we've never disliked anything we've tried. Our biggest problem is selecting only a few bottles since we have to pack them for the flight back to the US! Some may say the tastings are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. And you're paying for a great experience with a quality bubbly and excellent knowledge from the staff. Our favorite stop for sparkling wine and relaxing vineyards in the back! read more

One of the newly opened wineries in twenty valley area. Winery building was renovated victorian house. Pretty small tasting room was more like a small boutique. Very welcoming and cozy atmosphere. Outdoor seating area was full and packed with people. Staff greeted us and apologized that they don't have available seating area. We just did tasting on tasting area. I got hooked to their sparkling wine. So vibrant and refreshing. Lady who helped us tasting was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about her business. Ended up buying few bottles from them. I'll be coming back here whenever I visit this region. If you like sparking, visit and taste their wines. read more

I enjoy visiting wineries in the Niagara-Twenty Valley region. It was to my great delight to discover this "new" gem on a recent visit. Kew Vineyards draws its name from the family that built the beautiful old home that houses the winery's tasting room. The vines were planted in 1976, giving this new vineyard (producing wines for only 3 years or so), some old vines. 1. Kew seeks to specialize in sparkling wines. The sparkling wine I sampled was brilliant. 2. They also have a Marsanne Viognier that was the absolute surprise of the year for me. 3. The setting inside is warm and inviting. This is a place you can sit a while without feeling rushed or pressured. 4. The delightful young lady (who is a part if the family that owns this vineyard) presenting the wines is enthusiastic and passionate about the wines. 5. If you come here during the winter, contact them in advance to make sure they are open. This is a great visitor experience with great wines that may really put this place on the map over the next few years. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I'm so glad we stopped here, it was my favourite part of our niagara-on-the-lake trip. This vineyard is technically in Lincoln, but on the way either TO Niagara-on-the-lake or BACK if you're coming from Toronto. We reserved one of the $20 picnic baskets (for 2 people). It was so delicious. 2 different kind of cheese, some salami, mustard in a mini mason jar, cheesy shortbread, delicious lavender toffees from a local company (which they sell in the shop). I'm sure the contents change often, so don't assume you'll have the same stuff. This is a beautiful renovated old house with a vineyard. I had the white sparkling wine ($10/glass) which was great. The woman who was working the day we went was super nice. I have no idea if she is the owner or not. I will be back for my next niagara-on-the-lake trip for sure. read more

Loved the tasting flight! I think the heritage red or the Rosalie were tied for my favourite. The cheese and bread platter with the Asiago dip was delicious. Would love to visit again! Best known for their sparkling wines. read more

This place is so cute. Beautiful property with picnic tables and loungers set up for you to enjoy a tasting. They have table wine and sparkling wine available for tasting. They also have a cheese plate for 10. You are able to bring dogs and your own picnic! We cannot wait to go back. Service is friendly and wine is tasty. You are also able to purchase wines by the glass to enjoy with your picnic. read more

Giving two stars because the wine is delicious but that's where is compliments end. They made us wait outside for 20 min while they got the table ready even though we had a reservation. The staff are incredibly rude and couldn't be bothered to even tell us about the wine. We were treated like a reservation number and not like actual people. There are so many other amazing wineries in the area that are worth checking out but Kew is not one of them. read more

Loved this place! Incredibly knowledgeable staff, beautiful atmosphere, wonderful experience. I wanted to redecorate my house to make it look exactly like the inside of this place. Go for their specialty, which is sparkling wines. read more

Kew Vineyards - Two flights with cheese tasting. - Wineries Near Me - Lincoln, Ontario

Its all about sparking wine here. We came based on several recommendations, and we were not let down. Ended up getting a few bottles of rosalie and traditional. Very nice staff and they had Gluten free crackers. MASSIVE. The tasting room is so nice. Great place to stop if you like sparkling wine. Yum, YUM, YUM. read more

We spent an afternoon wine tasting in the Beamsville / Bench area. This was our favourite spot. Beautiful grounds. Fantastic service. The cheese platter was great and the sparkling wine will not disappoint. read more

The wines are tasty, building is decorated nicely but the views are what makes this place awesome. Excellent views of the vineyard, I know all the wineries have these views, but there is something about Kew's that really sets it out from the crowd. Visit and you will see what I'm talking about. read more

My family went to a wedding in the area and we had time to kill between the ceremony and reception. We saw the great yelp reviews and decided to pay a visit. Wonderful wines, amazing house to sit in and enjoy. We had bread and cheese plates for 10$ each with good olive oil. The relaxed (and enjoyable) atmosphere and great wines made for a perfect afternoon. The woman we were speaking with and the who served us had great presentation and made for good conversation. I highly recommend this place to anybody! read more

Very welcoming and adorable decor. Oh and the wine is wonderful. Lovely outside patio though too chilly to sit out when we were there. Worth a visit, read more
