Inniskillin Wines

I visited Inniskillin vineyard as part of my bachelorette celebration, traveling from the Dominican Republic with two friends, and it was truly one of the most unforgettable experiences we’ve ever had. The vineyard is absolutely stunning, but what made the visit even more special was our tour guide, Leron. He was beyond incredible; kind, funny (very funny), deeply knowledgeable, and so genuinely passionate about what he does. He took the experience to another level, making us feel not just welcomed, but celebrated. He even added a personal touch to our little bachelorette celebration that we’ll never forget. The tasting was equally amazing, very educational, especially for beginners. We learned how to properly taste and appreciate wine in a way that was both approachable and fun. This experience is worth far more than the price. Between the beautiful setting, the thoughtfully designed tour, and Leron’s unforgettable energy, I’d recommend it to anyone, whether you’re a wine lover or just curious. It was the perfect way to celebrate such a special moment in my life!

I was very disappointed with my overall experience at Inniskillin Wines. I am a local and a member of a wine club with another winery, so my expectations for a wine tasting maybe different from the average person. We were politely greeted by the staff and our wine was brought to our table fairly quickly. I had a couple of questions about a few of the wines before I ordered and the answers were fine for someone who knows little about wine but I was expecting a bit more of an in-depth explanation. Once our wines arrived at our table, the staff member told us which wines were which but did not explain anything about each of the wines and varietals we tasted. I paid $25.00 for a tasting and basically walked myself and my friends through their tastings. I had to explain to them what to look for from each of their wine selections. I was and am very disappointed with the lack of knowledge shared with us and the overall experience was unacceptable to me from one of Niagara's oldest wineries. I can only assume the staff has a strong knowledge of the wines at the winery, but that information was not shared with us during our tasting. I have come to expect a wine tasting experience at each of the wineries I visit in Niagara and I am not usually disappointed as we have a large number of educated and passionate professionals at many of our wineries, I did not get that feeling at Inniskillin.

We toured the Inniskillin Winery. We were lucky to have a private Korean-guided tour just for our family, which made the experience feel even more special. Although I was familiar with Inniskillin wines from seeing them in Korean Air’s in-flight duty-free catalog, seeing the winemaking process, grape harvesting, and the wine cellars firsthand brought a unique charm. Under the warm sunlight, we had a chance to taste their ice wine, and its sweet, rich aroma filled our mouths—a truly special experience.

We tried this place 2 times one for Ice wine festival and once for Wine and chocolate festival. Each time the food portion was just one bite. Not worth it, most of the wineries give normal size food portions. Even the wine they give for tasting is half the size of a normal wine tasting glass.

Stopped here on our way from Niagara Falls to Niagara-on-the-Lake. What a great decision. The people working here couldn’t have been nicer, friendlier, more accommodating, or knowledgeable. The restaurant menu was as delicious as it was unique. We didn’t realize it was Peach Festival Weekend. Several of the items on the menu featured peaches in a surprising and enjoyable way. Our server—wish I had gotten her name!—was incredibly helpful, kind, personable. She provided excellent suggestions and advice on what to order. She definitely contributed to the wonderful vibes of the winery. Highly recommend a stop here if you are in the area!
