Don’t miss out as the 26 Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake get set for another wine and
food extravaganza. Hailed as the ’go to’ event of the season, this popular
touring and tasting program showcases the unique VQA wines and Niagara-on-the-Lake Wine
Country cuisine available in the region. It is also a great time to explore the different
wine and gift selections available at each winery and stock up your holiday entertaining.
Spend a weekend touring our 26 wineries where each stop will feature a premium VQA wine
and delectable food pairing.
As stewards of the land from which we craft our wines, the Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake
are partnering with Carbonzero in the efforts of making Taste the Season a carbon neutral
event. A portion of each touring pass sale will be directed towards the purchase of Carbon
Offsets in support of Niagara East Landfill Gas Utilization Project. Carbon Offsets are
verified reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, designed to help minimize climate
change by offsetting an emissions-producing activity. Offset purchasers like Wineries of
Niagara-on-the-Lake, take responsibility for the emissions they are unable to reduce by
investing in GHG reductions elsewhere.
The Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake encourage you to taste and tour responsibly. Please
designate a driver who won’t be drinking, or take advantage of special offers from
our transportation partners for worry free touring.
