Celebrate Summer with the Benchlands Wine Trail.
Enjoy the warm sunshine and hospitality of five beautiful wineries along the Niagara Escarpment. Set your own pace and route as you take in the lush scenery between the wineries. Each winery is celebrating the season with a thoughtfully curated wine and cheese pairing that highlights fresh and refreshing summer flavours. At every stop, you'll also select one bottle of wine to take home, chosen from a specially curated seasonal list.
That's five wineries, five summer-inspired pairings, and five bottles of wine—a perfect way to relax and enjoy the too-short Niagara summer with friends and family. A value of up to $175 for only $120.
To participate, select your date and starting winery, then visit the others in the comfort of your own car, at your own pace and in the order you choose. Plan for the whole Wine Trail to take 2–3 hours.
With your ticket, you'll enjoy:
