A long weekend spent in Wine Country is ideal. Especially a long weekend in which the weather is turning from ice hell to a jubilation-inducing warmth. All of this is only heightened whilst in the centre of rows upon rows of grape fields. Here are a few shots from the wineries around Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls itself.

Niagara Icewine is the Best. Period.

You know Canadian wine has come a long way but my taste has a hankering for French wine.

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to say anything bad about Canadian wines. Maybe you could suggest one I could try?
Leslie
Too be honest, not sure of the best. We went to Trius Winery and it was suitable. There is also Jackson Triggs, which is one of the largest Niagara wineries. All worthy of a try, but yes, French wine takes the cake.
I was finding the Canadian wines so very expensive. One can buy a nice litre of French for $13.95.

Well that is pretty damn amazing! Send some in the mail? Ha.
Try L’Epayrie by Armand Roux. It is a lovely French table wine and very reasonable in price.

Mmm wine country! One of my dream destinations for a trip one day 🙂 Love it!
Lovely photos. I don’t know about the wines in the Niagara Falls area (Canadian side) although I visited years ago. But the Finger Lakes, upstate New York, have lovely vineyards. I am from France and I can tell you that many American wines are catching up. Fast. I don’t know enough about the Canadian wines to say.
Well, France will have a one-up on Canadian wines for a while I believe.
