This was our second stop of the day and when I tell you I am thrilled that we came here, that's an understatement. It's a small winery. We parked and walked to the back where the seating was. They have an open structure with seating along with tables on the grass to the side. We were greeting and told to sit wherever we liked. We picked a two top and made ourselves comfortable. Our server came over to explain how they offer their tastings and answer any questions we may have. My boyfriend enjoyed a tasting of reds and roses while I had a lovely specialty cocktail call the Peach Fritter Cocktail! Yes it came with a fritter on top!! This is what I love about smaller places: they take such pride in what they do, what they grow and what they produce. Three different people from the winery came to our table and made conversation with us. Asked about us and told us all different things about their winery, the grapes, processes for different wines, etc.Iit was a lovely experience. We will be back again this week! read more

Charles and Andrew made our tasting experience a fantastic start to the day! I learned more about wine in 10 minutes with Charles than I have in years and so appreciate the time they both spent with us. Already planning a trip back when family come to visit! read more

We've been here often, and are never disappointed! We come over from the states, and Andrew and his crew always take great care of us. The wines are so tasty and we have learned so much about wine making & the whole process. But even more, we are always made to feel so welcome and appreciated. I just love the atmosphere here and the lovely Sipping sheds. We wish the business all the best! They know how to create life-long customers! read more

Back 10 Cellars - Our tasting! So good! - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Beamsville, Ontario

A small gem! Back 10 wasn't even on my radar, but the 2 wineries that I stopped at prior to this place recommended that we check this place out! We were going to skip it, but I ended up going in the wrong direction which lead us here. Back 10 is only 10 acres and this is considered "small". Sign outside advertises their $5 tasting and it is totally worth it! I think it was the owner and he was very welcoming. All of the wines had a beautiful bouquet, so definitely smell them before your sip! Although tasting is cheap, bottles avg $30 as they produce limited quantities. Wines are NOT available at LCBO, so pick something up if you really like it! read more

This guy gets five stars simply for the level of passion, knowledge and experience he brings to his craft. I learned more in a half hour talking with him then in the last five years of visiting wineries. We tasted four wines: standouts were definitely the riesling and the cab Franc. Both outstanding, both are in the $20-$30 range. The Riesling was a dry Alsace style - very very racy with a high-level of acidity and 9.5% alcohol. Completely unique ,as was the cab franc. This is an enjoyable must stop place in Niagara on the lake area - actually it's on the Lincoln flat I think he said- close to the lake on red clay soil. read more

Winery building wasn't fancy. I was actually hesitated to get in. I didn't know what to expect. When I opened the door, owner greeted me with smile. Modern and elegant tasting room was there. Some part of tasting room set up like a nice cafe in France. It was pretty. They had 4 kinds of wines when we visited. They are small winery so makes small batches only. I didn't need to open the long wine menu and pick. Started with Resling, Chardonnay, pino noir and Cabaret Franc. The Big Reach Resling was very refreshing. Semi-dry. Start from scratch Chardonnay was very interesting. It has buttery long finish after oaky note. It's fermented with wild yeast, aged in Canadian oak. Blood sweat & years Pinot noir was smooth. It was gold medal winner at international Pinot challenge. My husband loved it and purchased a magnum which they only bottled 18 of them. It was signed and numbered by winemaker. They Sell half of their grapes to Featherstone winery and use the other half for their own production. All handpicked grapes, small batch boutique wines. Now this winery is in my new favorite list when I re-visit this area. I want to experience their new wines since they will just make small batch seasonally. And I hope others will love their wines too. read more

Back 10 Cellars - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Beamsville, Ontario

Back Ten Cellars is a small ten acre vineyard and winery located along King St. In the heart of wine country just below the Beamsville Bench. It is less than a km from Malivoire, which is one of my favourites. For a few years the vineyard has been producing grapes for Featherstone Winery, but has recently started bottling its own Riesling, Rosé and Cab Franc. The space is intimate, yet inviting. You sit at high/low tables instead of standing at a counter. The wines are all pretty good, though I found the Riesling most to my liking. The husband and wife team that run this winery are very friendly and eager to talk about the wines. If you are interested in trying something knew that you definitely won't find at the LCBO,this is a nice find. read more

Back 10 Cellars - Grapes at Back 10 - Wine Tasting Room Near Me - Beamsville, Ontario

Awesome set up. You get a table for your group and they set you up with a wine tasting. Our girl was very informative and friendly. $5 tasting for about 6 samples is a great price. Tasting fee waived with purchase. Really enjoyed the Rose and Sparkling Wine. Brought us a bite of bread with cheese and pesto which was yummy. Wish all wineries had this set up. Worth a stop! read more

What a gem, literally! This is a small boutique winery. Back 10 is a Husband and Wife labor of love. It's called back ten because it took ten years to get the grapes up and also they only have ten acres of land. We had wanted to come here for a long time and very glad we did! The tasting room is a converted house. Do yourself a favor beforehand and check their social media about what's Wine's are available. When we went all reds were out as well as Chardonnay. We got to try the Sparkling, Riesling and their Rose'. The tasting is $5.00 but if you buy wines which you will that fee is waived. (They do not sell at LCBO because they are too small) With your tastings the bring out some local bread smeared with ricotta and topped with pesto. It's perfect to have with your flight of wines! The tasting Room is a converted home. It's modern and yet cozy. The staff member who was our wine guide so to deal was kind, friendly and very knowledgeable. Even if you know nothing about wine you can learn a lot with out feeling it's so pretentious. They also do a guided tour and lunch but must reserve that see the website for more info. I wished we got to try the reds but they will be ready September 15, 2018. The Sparkling called "Smitten" is worth the buy its bright and just full of joy, a nose of melon and pear. I could drink it all day. The Riesling was almost colorless. But had warm notes and a juicy grapefruit and apple nose and as well as taste. This was not a sweet wine to be honest. I would say try this with oysters or some hot Asian food! Last was the Rose' this had 13% alcohol for me as someone who loves a good rose I found it had a long alcoholic finish. It's nose was mouthwatering like a watermelon jolly rancher. It was good please know this but some rose's although dry do give a hint of sweetness so to speak. So I bought us a bottle of the Smitten Sparkling..we will be back soon for the reds. If your from the USA like us do not freak out about the prices they are in Canadian Dollars and it will be converted to US on your credit cards and etc. This is worth the stop, beautiful view, nice tasting room, great and knowledgeable staff and you get a nice feeling that this family is doing something they truly love and it goes into every bottle. They have a parking lot and check hours as they change in the fall. Cheers! I'll be back! read more

What a quaint and delightful little winery in the Beamsville bench area. The tasting room is in a tiny old house in a big field with the vineyard in its backyard. Andrew, the owner, has vast knowledge of viticulture and clearly has a passion for his craft. I took home a few bottles of their Chardonnay which was wonderfully buttery and complex. An absolute must-see for those in search of a high quality boutique winery in this area. read more

A must stop. Excellent wines, and the personal touch to spend time with the patrons talking about the wines was super nice. The bread, cheese and basil pesto was nice too. Our favourites were the Riesling and the Cab Franc. read more

Cozy little tasting bungalow featuring super delicious wines, an extremely intelligent and friendly staff (lovely, lovely women) and you even get a complementary little bite to go along with your tasting flight. I have to say I surprised myself...or rather the wine surprised me. I have always said that I've never met a Chardonnay that I liked well Back 10 Cellars made me drink my words. Their Chardonnay is absolutely delicious...in fact out of the Reisling, Pinot Noir, and Cabernet Franc that was also included with the flight, the Chardonnay was my favorite (mind blown) which is so bizarre because I usually stick with the reds. We also enjoyed a sample of the Sparkling wine which was sweet and creamy and bubbly and oh so good. I wanted to buy cases of everything but unfortunately they wouldn't have fit in my suitcase so I opted for a bottle of the sparkling wine to enjoy tonight with the hubs to celebrate his birthday and our last night in Canada before it's back to reality. If you are in the area, please support the local small businesses and make this a stop. You will not be disappointed. Cheers! read more

What a cool little winery! When you walk in you feel like you're walking in to someone's home. We each did a wine tasting and also received cute little cups of French onion soup. Our Sommelier was so knowledgeable and really gave us a good idea of their growing philosophy and wine. Definitely worth stopping by! read more

A quick stop at this winery turned into the highlight of our day touring wine county. The wine maker Andrew has exceptional knowledge of wines and has created an amazing un-oaked Chardonnay, a fabulous Riesling, sparkling aptly named "smitten" and a Cab Franc "the big leap" which is full bodied and so smooth. Each tasting was so delectable so I purchased each to enjoy at home. Back Ten is a must stop winery for a lovely atmosphere in the Lincoln bench area. Handcrafted with a lot of TLC in each bottle and it shows as soon as you sip. Yum. Will be back read more

We came as a party of 6 with no reservation. We were able to be seated outside and our party all ordered the flight of 5. Sarah, the server, was so knowledgeable and friendly. All the wines were fantastic - the sparkling wine especially! Definitely recommend! read more

Not usually a riesling drinker but had to get a bottle. Very friendly cute ambiance. $5 flights. Small, but worth a stop!

I really liked this winery. Cheap tasting session, they even bring you some bread with a smear of cheese. The sparkling was one of the best I have tried and the Gamay quickly became one of my favorites in Beamsville! Highly recommend making a stop here, you will not be disappointed! read more

The winery makes 3 wines and they are all spectacular (Riesling, Rose and Cab Franc). There is a new one coming out that we haven't tried yet and we can't wait to sample it. The winery has a beautiful tasting room and the whole experience is just perfect. Andrew is always amazingly nice - we go to the winery quite often and he always chats with us. Highly recommend as a small boutique winery with very reasonably priced wine. read more
