There…read moreare only about a dozen parking spots at the Visitor's Centre, and I think it fills up quickly as it's a small-ish lot. Had to repark after a spot became available. They have 2 Wine Tasting options available, $25/4x1oz (includes higher-end wines), $20/4x1oz (smaller selection, but still quite a far amt). I think beer flights were $15/4x2oz. From speaking with her, I don't think the girl who helped me with my selection knew a great deal about wines. She said that she hasn't tasted all of them, but then again, there are A LOT from the both menus. I'm assuming that most of the people working here are students. The back patio is nice with the Escarpment in the horizon and vineyard in the foreground. I think you can also order apps that are cooked in the trailer outside. At 1oz each, I honestly think this isn't enough to get a good idea of the wine. It is literally 2 small sips! Other wineries that I've been to usually offer 4x2oz pours at the same price, and this amount is MUCH better in terms of getting a proper taste. Since it was such a small amount, it was hard to get a good gauge of the wines. The Muscat was nice though and I bought a bottle. Instead of doing the beer flight, I just cans to go as it seemed more economical. Bar area where those tasting were happening was a bit cramped! There was someone sitting at the bar already, another guy standing doing a tasting, and I felt a bit weird intruding on their space to ask the bartender about the beers. Fridges were on both sides of the bar, so not concentrated in 1 area. Beers/ciders area looking like a bit of an afterthought.

They often have discounted wine not found at other LCBO. The best feature however is the walk-in beer cooler. How many times I've been in there on a scorching summer day. It's a great time to grab beer and beat the heat. Their beer selection of course has the standard domestic beer but also a nice selection. From around the world, including a few good ones from Germany. The staff is friendly and welcoming and they certainly know the 'Barton Regulars' and greet everyone kindly. Highly Recommend

With a combination of 35 year old vines, low prices, and some of the best terroir in the region, visiting this winery is a must for any wine enthusiast. On the weekends, 12 to 5 pm, you can drive right up the dirt path where you'll likely first be greeted by the family border collie, Blackie. Step into his "tasting room" and he'll pour you a free taste of any of his award-winning from his own kitchen table as you admire the wall of packed with gold medals from years past. Highly recommended. Wines tend to sell out quickly due to low volumes. On a side note: Lenko also has a Chardonngay label (same as the regular Chardonnay), the first gay-friendly wine where $1 goes towards AIDS research.

I saw the big wine bottle on the side of a barn when we parked the car. Tasting room was very small. It was actually in the kitchen of a house. There are office tables in the middle, wines are displayed on the wall. It didn't look like it was well organized. Owner Daniel was the one who helped us with our tasting. There was no one else but us. We tasted a few wines. They were all good. White merlot, white Cabernet, unoaked merlot, reserve Riesling ..etc. The white Cabernet was very interesting. Complex yet elgant. I had to get some bottles. Gewurtztraminer was delicious as well as the 2009 Syrah. Daniel lenko is a 3rd generation grape grower and his vineyard has 53 years old Chardonnay plants from his grandparents which is oldest in the Niagara region. If you are a serious wine lover, you must visit this winery and taste their wines. They also do vineyard tours with an appointment.

My friend hosted her movie premiere party here a few months ago for the Hamilton Fringe Festival and we had an absolute ball!! Hammerheads Fresh on Locke were on hand offering the most delicious poke bowls ever, paired with drinks and a movie it was an ideal experience.

I've seen they have had several food guests from local restaurants which has been cool to see - and they are starting to extend their hours and are open till 8 or 9pm some nights. Check out their Instagram for the latest news. Love this new cidery that's bikeable from Locke Street and the surrounding neighborhoods.

They have an outdoor patio AND indoor taproom with high ceiling, old school video games. Vibe is very laid-back, don't expect someone to come to your picnic table to take your order! You may hafta open your own patio umbrella, go in and order your own drinks. 12oz pours are $7.50, BUT...you can get 3 smaller samples for the same price. This isn't on the menu, I had to ask. It's in a very industrial area and somewhat hidden in a white building, on a side street. They do have some specific rules like minimum purchase is 4 cans and their hours of operation are quite limited. They seem to be only open 3 days/week 'til 6pm. Other than selling bags of chips, they don't serve food, so just come thirsty!

It was a little bit far from the other vineyards and there was no ice wine but they have a large menu of reds and whites available for tasting, as well as perhaps one or two rose wines. The pass allows each person to sample three wines of their choosing. We came here on a quiet Sunday afternoon in early January and between the four of us, managed to sample most of the wine menu. My husband was particularly fond of the "Steel Post" white wine, which is surprising, as he is typically a red white drinker, partial to oaky French wines. The grounds are simple, but rustically beautiful. They have plenty of picnic tables for sitting outside in the summer. The parking lot is gravel and mud so be prepared in the bad weather; our shoes got pretty messy just during the short walk from the car to the winery entrance. Note: for parents with kids, they do have a small table with coloring books and picture books. They do not have juices available for kids to drink (Peller Estates and Trius both do have grapes juices for children, or perhaps your designated driver, to drink)

We chose their new Sparkling Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Rose. The Sparkling was so nice and smooth, I could have drank the whole bottle right there. We bought a bottle for home at only $25. The Cab was also really good. Their two story showroom/bar is made of stained wood and looks amazing. Lots of space here and lots of bottles on display. There's a place upstairs that they use for tastings. The staff member, Monica, was so friendly and welcoming to us. She described the wine making process and how the blends work in detail; she really knows her stuff! What a great experience, and we look forward to coming back to sample more and have a meal at their restaurant.
