Small boutique winery in the middle of gosh-darn nowhere. There are plenty of wineries to visit in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region, this one should be a MUST SEE.
I took part in a wine & cheese tour here and let me tell you, it was unbelievable. I should start off by saying that I'm not a big wine fan. In fact before I went on this tour, I probably hadn't consumed wine more than a handful of times.
The tour was very informative. Our guide, Andrea I believe her name was, spoke a lot about wine making and wine tasting in general. This was by no means a sales pitch on the winery. We tried three different kinds of wines, pairing them with three different cheeses (a creamy brie, old white cheddar and blue cheese). Don't ask me to name the wines, because I was so consumed by the cheese I didn't even catch the names.
The last wine we tasted was an Icewine. That I remember because it was my fav. The tour lasted for probably around an hour. The cost a cheapy $8 per head. Though I don't think I'll even develop an appreciation for wine, I experienced a little slice of heaven on Coyote's Run. -

we took advantage of The Wine & Herb Festival
info - a weekend touring the 21 Wineries of Niagara-on-the-Lake where each will feature a different herb-themed food pairing matched to a premium VQA wine selected to highlight the flavour and aroma of the herb.
featured herb - artisanal cheese and chive tart with pears with 2008 Pinot Gris/Pinot Blanc
review - really interesting that they have their red paw and black paw wines. sampled their 2006 red paw cab franc, which was really nice. there weren't any black paw varieties yet for tasting. would have been nice to compare the two. the red and black referred to the soil, which they also had on display which was really cool. -

This was our first stop on our limited Canadian wine tour, and I had been lead to believe that Canadian wine was nothing to get excited about so my expectations were low. This place proved me wrong, every single white wine we tried was really good, whether it was precisely to my taste or not. We only tried one red, a pinot noir, which I thought was a little subpar, but overall it was great, the tasting was free, the woman doing the pouring was incredibly friendly and informative, and we had a great time. We bought a really great pinot gris that was the standout of the tasting, but everything we bought was reasonably priced.

Coyote's Run seems more family-run than other wineries. The venue itself is a new construction building and feels like many houses. Not an old farm house or an ostentatious castle, either. Just a regular house that can front the business of good, solid wines. I liked it. The tasting bar is on the small side, so hope to get there when there aren't too many others. Pinot Noir is one of their specialities, and for good reason. There are small fees around $1 for some wines, but many are complementary. And, if you buy a bottle or two or twelve, all the tastings are free. And believe me, you will want to buy a bottle or two. At quite reasonable prices- $9-25/bottle, they are overall good values. It is also interesting to speak with the folks behind the counter to get a sense of the two different soil types they grow on. Red and black earth samples are displayed throughout and you can really taste a difference. The people here are nice, humble and down to earth. No pretense here! I highly recommend this on your way through the wine country.
