1. Hernder Estate Wines
This was hands-down our FAVOURITE winery (out of 8) on our trip through wine country. Unfortunately, it was also our first stop and it set us up for a little disappointment down the road. :(
Bev led us through the buildings and educated us on the…More »
2. Upper Canada Cheese Company
As a lover of artisanal cheese, this place was nearly heaven for me. My friend and I made it in just before close and wound up grabbing an amazing loaf of Fred's Bread (actually from Toronto) and about $100 in cheese to accompany all of the wine we…More »
3. Niagara Vinegar
These guys are physically located in the Hernder Estate and they offer their goods in the shop on site, though you will find their items offered all over the region.
They are a family owned and operated business and it's really nice to see them at…More »
4. Mountain Road Wine Company
Tiny wine shop under the owners' house. Cute, homey, welcoming. Friendly winemaker and assistant. The 1999 Icewine is to die for! I also really enjoyed the 2000. They also offer other types of wine but I recomend them for the sweet stuff, personally.…More »
5. Palatine Hills Estate
We didn't tour this estate, only came in to taste and buy some wine. The lady that served us was friendly and helpful. We found a couple of wines that we liked. The pours were moderate and cost $1.00 each but they take the tasting price off of what…More »
6. Konzelmann Estate Winery
This estate is really beautiful. And popular! Tour busses and cars fill the parking lot and the place itself has a very touristy feel.
We took the tour with Michael who showed us around and gave us a lesson in tasting in the private tasting room. The…More »
7. Legends Estates Winery
I have to give this place another star. Even though my first experience overall wasn't great (as you can read in original review) I really like their wine!
I had picked up some bottles without tasting them the last time I was there that were on…More »

My friend and I took a tour/tasting/lunch package here that I'd scored off of Dealfind.

8. Seneca Niagara Falls Gaming
I like this casino and will continue to choose it every time over the Canadian one across the bridge.
Comparing the two, here is what I prefer at Seneca: FREE Parking!!! FREE Drinks while gaming (just tip)!!! You can smoke there!!! It's bigger!!!

9. Thunder Falls Buffet
Pretty disappointing buffet.
On the plus side, there are enough non-meat items to fill up any vegan, vegetarian, or pescatarian. The servers are friendly and efficient. The space is large and seating comfortable. They offer smoking and nonsmoking…More »
10. Niagara Falls
The falls are beautiful. The park across the street is too. It's all good. But really not worth more than a half day's visit in my opinion. It's like... ok... I've seen the falls. Now what?
11. Best Western Fallsview
When we drove up I was a little concerned. The place itself doesn't look much like the website shows and appeared to be more of a motel than hotel.
The staff at check in was efficient, though less than friendly or helpful. It didn't matter though…More »
12. Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville
As a former parrot-head, I figured a stop into Margaritaville was a good bet for late night eats, drinks, and music. But it was... ummm... okay but I definitely expected more.
The staff was friendly. The welcome leis were fun. But the overall…More »
13. Hillebrand Estates Winery
I pulled up and noticed that the property is really quite lovely. I went into the tasting room and it was equally so. That is where my warm-fuzzy experience ended.
Maybe it was just an off day but I was not impressed by the service. Granted, there…More »
14. Pillitteri Estates Winery
Mmmmm mmmmmm mmmmm!!! Just grabbed a few bottles of their 2010 Chardonnay! It's lovely!
I enjoyed talking with the woman at the tasting bar. She was very welcoming and friendly.
The shop itself was really pretty, in a funky, fun style. I didn't spend…More »
15. Southbrook Winery
This place is absolutely beautiful!
Though I didn't spend much time there and only got to see the tasting room - as I said... BEAUTIFUL - I really enjoyed my visit and look forward to going back for a more complete experience.
This time I picked up a…More »
16. Jackson-Triggs Winery
Really lovely place. It was super busy when we went so getting up to the tasting bar seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.
I find Jackson-Triggs to be a solid stand-by wine but overall nothing special. The energy of the winery and of the wine…More »
