The 49 best neighborhoods to see in Niagara-on-the-Lake

We took our children to the Shaw Festival's production of "The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe". The production was amazing. Well written and produced. We were blown away by the set design, costuming and acting. The theater itself is very charming with a lovely gift shop and concession. There is a lot of space in the atrium to sit or stand. The staff and volunteers were wonderful. They even brought booster seats for the kids which meant we didn't have to worry about them not being able to see over the seats ahead of them. I really hope we get to go back sometime in the future!

Nice to see that this venue is still great and has kept up with the times. Seats are very comfortable for longer performances and the slope of the theatre is great. You have a great view even in the second last row of orchestra. Came to see Anything Goes and the production was excellent. Really high production value. Exceeded my expectations.

We attended a ‘Sunday Coffee Concert’ at the Shaw Festival in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The musical performance was led by Music Director Paul Sportelli and supported by members of the Shaw Festival. Playing to a full house audience, singer Jay Turkey joined the musicians in a beautiful version of La Vi e en Rose. The facility, performance and beautiful surroundings of Niagara made for a precious summer musical visit!

First timer yesterday, the theater is very nice, spacious and clean. A nice lobby café and refreshment available before and during intermission as well as little gift shop! The play we saw was "Wait Until Dark" it was a great night out, actors was amazing, the lighting and music everything was just great! The seats and view were great and comfy! Love the under 35 years old pricing they have available! We will be back!

The play at the Shaw festival what is absolutely fantastic. Niagara on the lake was spectacular. The floral display within the town was in full bloom. All the unique shops we're very busy in the streets were filled with people. It was a wonderful experience!

Took the "behind the scenes" tour. It was fantastic seeing all the operations involved in putting on a show. The guides were very knowledgeable and it was really amazing seeing what goes on!!!

Cozy and intimate. Acting was very good for a small theater. Same group of actors kind of feels different when someone watches different shows. We were in Niagara on the lake during the September long weekend. Busy, Busy, Busy.

The Niagara apothecary is an absolutely stunning piece of pre-Confederation architecture. The building was built in the 1820s and became a pharmacy after extensive renovations in 1866. It remained a pharmacy until 1964. Paid Street parking is available. Excellent place to visit to understand the history of the town.

Most people probably walk right past this place, but if you open the heavy door, you’ll find yourself enchanted by a collection of historic medicine bottles that make you forget the noise outside. It’s rare to see them preserved in such beautiful condition, and they hold great historical value. If the museum happens to be open, consider yourself lucky. Be sure to check it out!

Finally able to stop in for a visit and was not disappointed. So many neat collections from the old pharmacy and preserved how it was back in the 18-1900s. The loveliest gentleman shared some of the interesting history of this place, I would highly recommend taking a peak while you’re in NOTL.

Free to visit or donation. This was once the oldest pharmacy in Ontario. Increible to see how well it is maintained. Nice displays inside for all to see. Some gifts can be purchased inside. It is nice to see what things looked like back in the day. Very interested. No free WiFi. Everything is in English. Come in and look and make a donation.

Very cool to read about the history of medicine at this museum. After walking in, it feels like you stepped back in time with how many pieces of history they have in there. Looks like they kept all the original medicine bottles. Great place to pass the time and it’s free. As we were passing to leave, we saw some very cool coasters and decided to purchase some.

Packed full of history and set up like you walked back into a time long ago. I described it to my mom as the "pharmacy in It's a Wonderful Life"...so beautiful.

The Niagara Apothecary in Niagara-on-the-Lake is an utterly charming little gem that feels like stepping back in time. Quaint and full of character, it’s less about practicality and more about delighting in the experience. While the items inside may not be essential, browsing through its vintage remedies and quirky products is a wonderful way to spend a leisurely afternoon. It’s the perfect spot to splurge a bit—more for the story than the substance—and the kind of place you’ll happily share with friends just to say, “I’ve been there.” A whimsically quaint stop that captures a bit of old-world magic.

Interesting information at the site. Really nice area. Great place to visit. Was fun to see the fife and drum muster with multiple groups present with music demonstrations and musket firing demonstrations. Will come again. Nice that it's free to visit this year (although worth the visit even if you had to pay).

Exceeded expectations and spent more time here than originally planned. Plus in 2025, it is free (except for parking). In addition to a number of buildings with so much historical information and artifacts, there were period dressed staff who were there to provide information or answer your questions. While there, there was a parade to raise the flag, a musket demonstration and a talk about the War of 1812 under some trees. And so dog friendly as we were able to carry our smaller pups into the buildings. Well done!

A very interesting historical site to visit while in the town of niagara on the lake. There were live firing demonstrations then which was cool. Its a big site with underground tunnels, watch towers etc and very relaxing to just walk around and learn about the historical significance of the fort. Highly recommend to drop by while visiting the town

My 13 year old sons and I went here and we just loved it! There were several different learning demonstrations and such a great staff. Super cool place to visit! I highly recommend it.

The Battle of Fort George was fought at this National Historic Site during the War of 1812. It was an American victory and, during the Battle, which was fought in May, 1813 the Fort was almostv entirely destroyed. Although the British retook the fort, they put litte effort into its reconstruction. The only original building on site is a gunpowder magazine. The current Fort was reconstructed in the 1930s. The museum at the fort contains many exhibits that oroginate from the War of 1812 period. The staff and reinactors are amazing.

Our first visit and we were totally bowled over by the experience. They have several presentations, and all of them were comprehensive, informative, and fun! Very impressive presenters, indeed. We even got to taste the cookies and cake that the presenter made based on the original recipes. It's great fun for all ages, and it's free! A must visit place!

This was such an amazing experience. The staff were absolutely amazing, friendly and so informative. The area is steeped in the history of the War of 1812. I loved seeing crew in the uniforms marching around. The musket display was an experience. Fully recommend visiting Fort George

Situated in the town of Niagara-on-the-lake, this park is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the town. A stretch of lawn with benches for a small picnic or a small beach area to relax and have fun. A small pathway that is nice with a great view of lake Ontario. Just across the street is parking and it is conveniently located near the downtown area. A perfect tourist attraction, period.

The Queen's Royal Park is a beautiful park in the Niagara-on-the-Lake region where people can walk, sit and relax. The view of the lake is wonderful. People can have picnics with family and friends and enjoy during summers. There are designated parking lots close to the park where one can easily pay for parking their vehicles. Downtown Niagara-on-the-Lake is just walking distance from the park and has some great shops, cafes and restaurants.

Explored this lovely park when visiting the niagara falls. You can see the downtown Toronto from there, especially when the sky is clear. The lake looks really blue, and its so peaceful to walk around. Definitely worth a visit during your trip! :)

We love visiting the picturesque Queens Royal Park whenever we are in Niagara-on-the Lake region. The Gazebo acts as a beautiful and romantic backdrop for pictures! The place is ideal for a picnic or a romantic stroll. We love going there for an amazing sunset view over Lake Ontario.

Very scenic park along the Lake Ontario. Park is maintained well and maybe crowded during weekends. Mandatory paid parking. Washrooms are available and it’s very clean and well maintained. Toronto skyline maybe visible if the sky is clear . Some buildings like old Niagara fort at USA side is clearly visible. This place is something unique.

Amazing place to enjoy during summer! It has free parking area. The whole niagra city on the lake is amazing and pretttyyy🩵 It was fun visiting this place with friends and family. People were doing kayaking and riding the boats 🛥️! Also there is walk way area which makes it more beautiful! Place gets bit crowded on weekends. Also, there are plenty of restaurants and cafes nearby to the other streets. The garden hill area is best to rest and enjoy the view of sea and also the other side u can see USA

This was my first time going to Canada. I saw online, when I was planning my trip to Niagara Falls, that Niagara on the Lake was a must see. I have to agree now that I've been. It's a very beautiful place the flowers are so pretty and well kept. We walked around town and to the lake. The lake is very nice as well. Benches in the shade to sit and admire the scenery. I'm very glad we didn't miss visiting here.

We went for the afternoon tea. The grounds are beautiful and the tea room is an elegant. Glassed in area. The 3 tier plate that accompanies the tea includes sandwiches, scones, and various small cakes. The cranberry and blueberry scones were great. The sandwiches and cakes were fine, nothing outstanding. Service was very good.

We visited the McFarland House, Friday July 25 th. Our visit started in the opulent gardens which were such a treat. They were a combination of Country English Garden that combined a fully versatile Kitchen Garden. What a world of abundance we would live in if we all planted with so much purpose and beauty. As we entered the house there were three hosts were bubbling around. They were full of so much joy and laughter. We signed up for a tour of the house to learn about the McFarland House, John McFarland and his family. That house had interesting features including the brickwork and the methods applied in building the house. Very interesting to anyone in construction or architecture. The guide highlighted many original features including peek holes into the original paints. The main stairway which was ahead of its time. The original locking mechanism on the front door. To one of the original cast iron heaters. Upstairs they have set up the main bedroom, a child’s bedroom, a servants room (Which in all likelihood would not have been in the main house.) and as the house was used as a hospital during the war of 1812 there was a soldiers room. This area is ripe in history especially of the war of 1812. It is the focus of the tour. My only disappointment was there was no mention of the history of of our First Nations and how this land came to be in the possession of the McFarlands. Not to takeaway from the families history. Yet to honour the history of these lands and how our country came to be. Our tour was about 45 mins. We had some wonderful conversations with our tour guide and shared some trips down memory lane. We were able to share living history of seeing some of the artifacts in use in our families homes. My Great Grandmother used a chamber pot and a bed warmer her passing in 1979. My Great Aunt always used a wash stand in her bedroom til early 1980’s There was a clay pipe similar to the one my husband had til 2020. We were then fortunate to stay for High Tea in their beautiful Tea Room in the Conservatory. They were served by the tour guides in period dress. The sandwiches were watercress, cucumber and turkey. The scones cheese and chive, berry and plain with jam , cream and butter. Finished with an assortment of desserts and fruits. You have a selection of teas to enjoy. We loved the Scottish Breakfast Tea. I indulged in a mimosa. My only regret was not taking a picture of the Lady with the Pearls. We are making plans to return for the Murder Mystery event they offer. Accessibility of the fist floor was great. Sadly being a period home the 2nd floor would not be available to wheel chair users. I left my walker used my cane and they did provide spots to sit along the way. If you wish to have high tea I would recommend reservations.

The McFarland House was an absolute dream venue for our wedding! The historic charm, lush gardens, and beautifully maintained grounds created the most romantic atmosphere for our special day. From the moment we arrived, it felt timeless and intimate — like we had stepped into a fairytale. The natural beauty of the property meant we hardly needed extra décor, and every spot was picture-perfect for photos. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about how stunning and unique the venue was. The staff was also wonderful and ensured everything went smoothly. We are so grateful to have had such a magical place to begin our married life — it will always hold a special place in our hearts.

Historic house with cafe where you can have high tea. Tours are offered as well. High tea would cost about CAD 20 per person and the tour about CAD 8. Closed for rest of 2025, check website for open hours. This site is close to Niagara River and walking trails. Parking is free for paying customers.

Beautiful atmosphere, relaxing, really good tea, and the high tea had delicious food/dessert selection. The server was polite, very well versed and also very knowledgeable about all tea selections. It was a lovely afternoon.

A wonderful place for a picnic in a place of history. Well kept area outside, can't wait to do a tour inside. Found a snake on my walk here.

I had my bridal shower here and it was breathtakingly beautiful. The staff were amazing and so kind. They had setup such a beautiful event that included the high tea setup, drinks, personalized cookies and stationary. Everything was delicious and beautiful. I couldn’t have imagined a better place or team for this event.

Emma was very informative and patient!! She gave us a wonderful tour and we learned a bunch of facts we didn't know existed!! Kudos to Laura Secord! It also has Tesla destination charger!!

The homestead has this genuine, preserved vibe. As you stroll through its rooms, you can almost sense the Secord family’s presence and picture what life was like back in the early 19th century. With its period furniture and peaceful surroundings, it really takes you back in time. However, the real highlight of the visit is the amazing story of Laura Secord and her brave actions during the War of 1812. Her daring 32-kilometer trek through enemy territory to alert British troops about an upcoming American attack showcases the bravery and strength that marks a crucial moment in Canadian history. One of the best parts of our visit was definitely our guide. They were super knowledgeable, with an impressive understanding of Laura Secord, her family, the local history, and the larger context of the War of 1812. They didn’t just spit out facts; they made the story come alive with interesting anecdotes, vivid descriptions, and answers to all our questions. Their enthusiasm for the topic was contagious and really enhanced the whole experience, making the history feel real and relevant instead of just something from a textbook. Honestly, if you love history, this place is a must-visit. It’s not just a bunch of artifacts; it’s a powerful story brought to life by passionate storytellers. Whether you’re a history buff or just curious about important Canadian tales, the homestead gives you deep insight into a key moment in the country’s past. In summary, the Laura Secord Homestead provides a unique and priceless historical experience. It stands as a symbol of courage, a glimpse into the past, and is an absolute must-see when you’re exploring the Niagara area. Highly recommended!

I've know a little bit about Laura Secord but this museum goes into more details than what little we learned in history class. Our guide was really good in explaining and reliving the famous journey of Laura Secord. If you like history and learning , this is a great place.

For Canadian history buffs! We loved the guided tour in which the guide was well informed and motivated. The house is filled with artifacts from the time of the War of 1812. Such a beautiful tribute to this Canadian heroine.

A nice stop in Queenston. I had my dog so I couldn't go inside but the outside was well kept. Lots of historical plaques.

Had not been since the candy company owned this Niagara Parks run spot and enjoyed the theatrical presentation very much! Have been following the War of 1812 path lately and glad to see the Indigenous warriors included in the updated history, would like to see more. Got Shut the Box at the gift shop!

One of my Canadian heroes is this lady right here. Was nice to be there on her birthday. Hats off to real Canadian history!

We ordered the 5-course tasting menu, each beautifully paired with a glass of wine. Every dish and wine pairing was absolutely delightful — full of flavor and thoughtfully crafted. The service was warm and attentive, which made us feel truly cared for throughout the evening. The setting is simply stunning: dining while overlooking the vast, serene vineyard was such a peaceful and memorable experience. The interior design is equally impressive, especially the striking wall behind the counter, which adds to the charm of the space. Overall, it was an experience filled with joy, beauty, and a deep sense of appreciation — I would love to return again and again.

My husband and I had the opportunity to celebrate our 17th wedding anniversary at Peller Estates with our children. The fine dining at The Winery Restaurant was above and beyond expectation from start to finish. Sybille, their lovely hostess, was so kind and welcoming when we arrived. We appreciate her hospitality and kind demeanour. As we were sat, our lovely waitress Julie made our celebration a night to remember. Sparkling wine for my husband and I and two sparkling apple juices for our children (ages 10 and 14). Our 3 course dinner prix fixe meal was divine. We can cannot wait to return next time. I would highly recommend their East Coast Digby Scallop Crudo and their Signature Lobster Linguine. For dessert, their Mille-Feuille were also excellent paired with of course their Signature Series Oak Aged Vidal. Thanks to you Kayla Wall, hospitality manager for ensuring our special night was one to be remembered. Until next time!

I really enjoyed the tour at Peller Winery. It was a great experience to learn more about wines and how they are made, especially since I am not very knowledgeable about wine. The guide was very friendly and willing to explain even the simplest things, which made the visit even better. The wines were delicious and I loved that they gave us the tasting glasses as a gift because they are so pretty. The only downside for me was that the shop prices felt a bit high but overall everything was beautiful and worth the visit.

Peller Estates in Niagara on the Lake is a stunning winery with beautifully maintained grounds and a touch of grandeur. We booked the guided tour, which began a bit slowly outside as we learned about the vineyard’s history and winemaking process. Thankfully, things picked up and became much more engaging as we moved indoors and explored behind the scenes. The highlight was definitely the 10 Below Ice Lounge. It was an unforgettable experience that was really cool 🥶 both literally and metaphoricallyl! They give you large parkas to wear to warm things up a bit. It was such a fun way to end the tour! The wines themselves were enjoyable and reflective of the Niagara region's charm. Overall, it was a memorable experience that started off a little snooze worthy 😴 and finished on a positive note. Highly recommend adding Peller Estates to your Niagara-on-the-Lake wine itinerary!

🍷🍾The wine selection was exceptional, with a fantastic range of reds, whites, and sparkling wines. The Icewine, of course, was a highlight—rich, smooth, and unlike anything else. 🍴🥩The set menu at their restaurant was simply delicious. If you're looking for a winery experience that combines great wine, fantastic food, and beautiful surroundings, Peller Estate is the place to be. I’ll definitely be back for another round of wine and food pairing!

Our group of six had an absolutely fantastic time at Pellar Estate! The winery tour was informative and engaging. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience so enjoyable. The wines were delicious, and we loved learning about the winemaking process. After the tour, we had lunch, and the food was outstanding! Fresh, flavorful, and perfectly paired with their wines. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, and the beautiful weather made it even more special. The staff were friendly and attentive, ensuring we had a wonderful time. Highly recommend Pellar Estate for anyone looking for a great wine-tasting experience, delicious food, and a lovely setting. We’ll definitely be back! A perfect day out with friends! 🍷☀️

Great experience! Peter, our guide was knowledgeable, helpful, funny and engaging. I spent $45++ pp for two of us, and they offered 4 types of samples (bubbly, white wine, red wine, and their famous ice wine) There’s also water and juice for those who don’t wish to drink. They also offered jackets for the -10 degree room (decor made with ice) which was considerate and a fun experience. There’s lots of time for photos and they allow you to roam around freely in the whole winery. There’s also a restaurant which I did not try, but the vibes seem amazing. Highly recommend for bachelorettes, a couple date or for tourist!!! Customer service was great, I was running behind for my 2pm appointment due to traffic and road closures so I called the winery to reschedule and give me the 3pm slot on a Monday, which they were more than happy to do and I am glad I could enjoy the full tour with my mother. Free parking is a plus!

We had a fantastic Sunday brunch at Treadwell Cuisine. We shared the seasonal peach, tomato, and burrata dish as well as the charcuterie selection. Both were spectacular. Standout entrees included the Lobster Club sandwich, the blueberry pancake, and the two egg breakfast with the fingerling potatoes and toast. Service was fantastic, everything was delivered straight from the kitchen piping hot, and we did not feel rushed at all. We enjoyed our meal and our visit. Highly recommend.

Overall a decent place for tourists looking for a place to sit down and eat. Reasonably priced for the area, the food comes well presented and in large portions, and they do try to make the taste of every dish interesting in some way. Not sure if the effort was made in the right direction though. The staff were all very nice, and the outdoor dining space has a nice vibe. Overall, I would still recommend this place over many other restaurants in the same area.

My husband and I recently used Treadwell as our catering service for our wedding at Ironwood Cider House and we were very impressed. We have been to the Treadwell restaurant as customers as well as for our wedding menu tasting and we have nothing but great things to say! The service and food was impeccable. We loved sitting in front of the kitchen watching the chefs work their craft. As for our catering at our wedding, the service was still stellar, but the food was slightly below our expectations. Our appetizers weren’t quite on point - the scallop smelled too fishy, and the carrot salad wasn’t seasoned enough. For the entrees, the halibut was a bit dry, but the striploin was just as good as when we tried it during our menu tasting. Overall, we definitely still recommend Treadwell for sure! We understand the logistics of catering is obviously quite different than making to order at a restaurant, which is why we are still very content!

The lamb special was terrible but then they changed it to the mushroom gnocchi! OMG!!!!!!! the best I have ever had. Apps were epic and dessert was very very good. Service was great! Its a 4.5 star but rounding it up!

Stopped here for dinner with a group of friends, we had a large group about a dozen of. James was our server and he was absolutely fantastic. The service was amazing, the ambiance was excellent, and the food was absolutely phenomenal! Everything was cooked to perfection, and tasted delicious. The fresh bread, the home made butter, the appetizers, all amazing. I ordered the filet mignon... this was the best steak I have ever had. The chef did a wonderful job, all of our plates came out exactly as ordered. Desserts were also impressive. I ordered the chocolate creme brulee. We all enjoyed a wonderfully cooked meal and had such a great time. We will definitely be making reservations again. The cost to eat here is about $150 (Canadian.) per person.

The best lobster sandwich I’ve ever had!! You must go here. Lunch was fantastic, service was exceptional. Restaurant is fun. The open kitchen gives you confidence that your food is being prepared the right way. We ate at many restaurants in town and by far this was the best all around experience. Thanks. We will be back the next time we are in the area.

Excellent food, great location, and atmosphere. We made reservations to eat outdoors when it was 30C outside, but the shade canopy and the breeze made it feel a lot cooler out. We ordered the sweet chili glazed pork belly Sunday brunch special and the salmon with zucchini blossom and vegetables. The food was very delicious! This place is such a hidden gem, a must try!

We hosted our wedding reception at the Exchange Brewery in June 2025 and our experience was top-notch. In the months leading up to the event, Rajat was incredibly helpful with all our questions, and he was on top of all the little details. On the day of the reception, the staff were all very attentive, hardworking, and professional. We ended up having a slight issue with the food we had catered in, but the Exchange staff were all over it and helped me come up with solutions and options. Coming from out of town and not knowing the Niagara-on-the-Lake area too well, that was really appreciated. The brewery was perfect for our party - very central to downtown NOTL, a good amount of seating for our 60ish guests, and great selection of drinks and unique beers. It's a beautiful space (especially on the patio area surrounded by trees) and we got a lot of compliments on the party from our guests. We would definitely recommend the Exchange Brewery to anyone looking for a memorable venue!

It was a disappointing experience for us . There are not much option in the area so we sat than in this place thinking they should have good beer considering it’s a brewery. We ordered the big pitcher and nachos . It was a pilsner but tasted like a bad ipa. Nachos was a big portion but one of the worse I ever tried. Literally boiled chicken thrown on top with zero flavour . Jalapeños had no taste. I won’t recommend this place personally .

It’s good… I think the beer was good, with a wide selection. The food was good as well with standard pub fare (with some extras). I think the ambience is okay, they made it a modern - sports bar kind of theme. For a brewery like this I would ordinarily want to see something more personal, less cold. Overall though when in the area if they have availability it’s a good spot to get some drinks and food.

Local brewery on main street NOTL, you won’t miss it. You can have a quick drink for try the beers or dinner at upstairs. Fresh made pizza recommended to pair with their beers. You can walk around their well decorated brewery. They offer tours and patio in summer too.

We had our Korean wedding dinner/ceremony here two weeks ago and from start to finish, was a perfect day. Rajat the manager, helped us with the planning and coordination probably about a year in advance. He helped set the menu, the pricing, the tables/floor set up, the timing/scheduling of the event etc. He might as well have been our wedding planner! So easy and wonderful and friendly to work with. Being from Toronto, all our planning took place via email and he was very responsive and helpful. The day of, him and his entire staff were amazing. One of his staff even wrote the names of the dishes in Korean writing (which my family absolutely loved!!). They just went above and beyond for my family and my husbands family, most of which were visiting from other countries. The staff were so respectful to us and even knew a lot about Korean culture and foods which made my family even more happy. We felt so welcomed and the service was impeccable. Thank you Rajat and team!

Very cool spot. Stopped in to have a beer before dinner. We sat at the bar, also munched on some popcorn. I had the apricot ; light & refreshing. I normally don’t drink beer since it makes me feel full but this one was great!

Our experience at the exchange was super nice! Our beers were good and the kettle chips were delicious! Our server Mateo was very nice and friendly and made our experience a great one. I got to bring my puppy with me to sit on the patio and they made sure to bring her water. Will definitely be back again!:)

Konzelmann Estate Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake is a picturesque retreat set amid sprawling vineyards, offering a serene and beautiful setting. The vintage-style building is stunning, both inside and out, exuding classic charm that enhances the overall experience. The wine is truly divine—rich, flavorful, and well-crafted. The tasting session was enjoyable, allowing us to savor some excellent selections. However, the experience was slightly marred when our assigned staff member left mid-tasting for their break, leaving us momentarily unattended. For a paid experience, better coordination would have been ideal. Despite this hiccup, Konzelmann Winery remains a lovely spot for wine lovers. Just be aware that while the vineyard views are gorgeous, there’s no access to walk among the vines. Still, a great visit overall.

I felt bad for underestimating this winery. You don’t usually see many varieties of red wine from Konzelmann at the LCBO, but their selection here truly impressed me. All the staff were very knowledgeable and friendly. Our guide, Gabriella, was amazing — she knew so much about wine, had a great sense of humor, and even took beautiful photos of us. Thank you! I can’t wait to try the Malbec barrel-aged red — such a unique and complex taste, like a rainbow of flavors! It has so much more with a sip! Absolutely amazing experience.

Konzelmann Winery in Niagara on the Lake is absolutely beautiful! The view from the upstairs area is impressive. You can see the vineyards and the lake, making it the perfect spot to relax and take it all in. Their peach wine slushies are also amazing! Refreshing, fun, and perfect for a warm day. Cute little backyard area to sit. It's definitely worth a visit!

We did a tour and tasting. The view from the winery is beautiful. We could see the lake. Tour was okay. She was okay. I felt it’s rushed. It’s a crowded place. So many people were there come and go. We wanted to try other wine too but the staff was too busy to deal with us. Peach wine was tasty. We bought one. Konzelmann is good for the experience and short stop to sample.

What a great tasting, with the joyful Donna as our master tastery-teacher! She told so much that I have forgotten what to remember. What I do remember is why we visited: icewine! Absolutely great taste, not to winey, but more the liquor I wanted and expected. And the view from the Winery to Toronto: priceless! Konzelmann and Donna won me over. But also the other staff members. Lovely place and a joy also for non-drinkers like me!

We had an amazing time at Konzelmann Estate Winery! The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Each wine we tasted had distinct, delicious flavors – it was clear how much care goes into their winemaking. We enjoyed every moment of the tasting experience and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Niagara-on-the-Lake!

Andrew was extremely knowledgeable. He made our wine tasting such an amazing experience as we celebrated our wedding anniversary. We learned a lot from him, and he took his time to answer all our questions with great detail! This winery has a family-owned feel to it, which separates them from others. Highly recommend. Not to mention they have delicious peach wine!

Delicious wine and average food in a beautiful setting. Ordered the porkbelly sandwich which was not properly trimmed as there was more fat than meat. The sandwich eventually disintegrated as it was so greasy and I ended up using a knife and fork to finish. When our server asked how our food was and we mentioned the amount of fat, the server only replied sorry about that. When our table was being cleared, a different staff member asked how how lunch was and when we mentioned the amount of fat (and showed the left over fat on the plate), he also just said sorry and indicated that pork belly is like that. In hind sight, I should have asked for a little bowl of pork to replace the fat, but that is on me and a lesson learned for the future. Definitely a great place to have a drink, service was friendly (maybe unsure of handle issues).

it had been several years since we last travelled to this area to take in 1 of their amazing 'Twilight in the vineyard' concerts & it did not disappoint as we watched opener Tarra Lightfoot & headliner Matt Anderson perform on last Fridays starry night. For those that have never been - pick 1 of their many awesome shows & if time & $$ permit we highly recommend the "Proprietors Dinner' hosted in the wineries cellar Regret: we wish this wonderful venue was not a 2 1/2 hour drive !

Ontario‘s very own winery. It’s a great experience having lunch at such a beautiful place.

Our family had an amazing experience at JT Niagara! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff were attentive and friendly, making sure every detail was taken care of. The food was delicious and beautifully presented, everyone in our family loved it! We highly recommend JT Niagara for a memorable dining experience with family.

My boyfriend and I came here for our anniversary trip to Niagara, and even our Uber driver told us how popular this place was, he said he brings people here all the time, so I was already super excited! When we arrived, Stevie welcomed us right away, and even though I had booked the wrong date 😅, he was so kind and accommodating. He still managed to set us up for a tour without any issue. Our tour guide, Doug, honestly made the entire experience unforgettable. He was super chill, funny, and so knowledgeable. The tour felt really personal, and he made sure we had time to take pictures and enjoy every part of it, he was incredibly patient with us. Later on, we also met Nick, who was just as amazing, so friendly, cheerful, and welcoming! Overall, this was a 10/10 experience and one of the biggest highlights of our trip. If you plan on doing a tour, if you can, definitely request Doug to be your tour guide, he’s the best! Oh, and don’t skip the ice wine, it’s delicious!

We received the wine tour and tasting for two as part of the hotel package. And it is amazing. We had a great time here. Our tour guide is informative. During the tour, we get to taste 4 different types of their product. After the tour, we ordered some food in their dining area and got more tasting. The staff is very patient and helpful when we struggle which wine to choose for tasting. She gave good info of each type and help us by asking our preference. The cheese board and mushroom soup look very appealing and delicious. We love it!

Terrible customer service. We went to see Dwayne Gretzky, the last of the summer concert series of 2025 so you would think they had all the bugs worked out. Nope. We tried to buy a bottle of wine to consume in their courtyard prior to the show and were sent from the outdoor line up (which we waited in), to the tasting room, which she also said no even after being sent there by the lady outside. We were then sent to the bar at the restaurant who tried to send us back to the tasting room, until I told them the fiasco. Who knew it would be so hard to get a bottle of wine at a winery? We chose the bottle and noticed it was $10 more from the bar than from the tasting room. We enquired and were told it was a corking fee. I have never, ever had a corking fee from a winery when they are opening their own product! Ridiculous, total money grab. Then a bit later we lined up again at the outdoor kiosk to get a couple cans of cider, told to go in to the bar again. Got into the bar to order cans of cider, they only had one can available. All the staff were frazzled, stressed and frankly terrible. I would never go here again for a tasting, meal or event (even though Dwayne Gretzky killed it)! Disorganized, cranky staff and a corking fee for their own bottles is a hard no from me, here on out. PS the actual event staff, in the red shirts were freaking amazing! So fun, friendly, helpful, we loved interacting with them! We especially loved Anne, with an e, she was THE BEST!!

One of the best golf courses my wife and I have ever played. The course was well maintained, had a lot of history, the view of the old fort and Lake Ontario were amazing and the staff members were very friendly!!! My wife and I plan on playing this course again in the near future when we come back to Canada. Thanks for the great day.

Excellent view with a cool breeze, food was quite reasonable with the location considered. Skip restaurant s further inland and treat yourself to this view. You will thank me later. Beware the Thornberry cider! Delicious but I'm lightweight and it has a subtle punch;)

Enjoyed a round of golf on the oldest course in Ontario. It was a beautiful early fall day and the views of the lake were beautiful. Lunch at the waterside patio was very tasty too!

I requested patio seating but apparently that is not available by reservation so we took the indoor table reserved for us. The view was still very nice, looking out over top of the patio umbrellas. Service was good, relaxed and unrushed. We had the Cornish hen and the Vegetarian Lasagna. The hen was a bit dry and under seasoned. The Lasagna was really flavourful.

Gorgeous 9 hole public golf course with multiple holes on the waterfront. Relatively short, flat, and straight, and kept in impeccable condition. Green fee is very reasonable. Would definitely play there again and try the restaurant next time which overlooks the water.

It's the prettiest 9 hole golf course that runs along the waterfront. Super easy to walk, it runs flat and narrow making it a nice little challenge. The waterfront restaurant is also a great little spot to grab a bite to eat.

My wife booked an 18 hole for my birthday on Sept 14 on this course. The course is a beautiful course and great views while golfing. My wife and I were paired up with an another very nice couple Mark and Elsa (not sure if that’s how her name is spelled), but they have been to the course many times. Only reason why I didn’t give this course a 5 star is because we had people in front of us playing at a very slow pace, and the marshal/ranger thought we were playing slow, which he decided to tell us how to play faster. The only problem is that we can’t play any faster if the group in front of us was playing very slow and if the marshal/ranger was paying attention and he would have noticed the group in front of us had a couple playing with golf clubs from 1 bag. The group behind us caught up to us on hole 4 (Par 3). This group started to yell to the group in front of us to pick up the pacer hurry it up. Mark and Elsa told us not to be deterred as they have played at this course many times with no issue and this was the first time this had happened to them. My wife and I didn’t enjoy the course as much once we judged by the marshal/ranger on how we should play. The group behind had no golf etiquette or respect for anyone else on the course which ruins other people’s time on the course. It didn’t bother me as much and we actually played ready golf but they’re old fashioned and narrow minded individuals. Honestly it didn’t bother me much afterwards as we played how we wanted to play not worrying about them once we realized some people will be stubborn and rude, but these old timers need to learn how to adapt and adjust to the changing times and treat everyone with respect. We ended cancelling the last 9 holes and left early to go home as we were a bit put off and didn’t enjoy golf that day as much. Not sure I would come back here after that, but we might give it a shot again one day, thanks to Mark and Elsa the couple we were paired with. They made our time out there more enjoyable compared. The starter and gentleman at the pro shop that day were very nice and courteous. The marshal/ranger was nice as he grabbed my bag as it fell off the golf cart for some reason when I strapped it in tight. I would to the marshal that even though you have been there for a long time with lots of experience, sometimes you forgot the things such as seeing things from a different perspective and looking at the bigger picture with groups playing golf, beginners are not always the slow players, sometimes it’s the ones who have been playing for a long time that haven’t changed.

A peaceful and charming stop! The Living Water Wayside Chapel is beautifully maintained and known as one of the smallest chapels in the world. It’s a serene spot to pause, reflect, and take some lovely photos. Definitely worth a quick visit if you’re in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area! Not so crowded and evenings are the best and apple picking nearby is an add-on to your trip. Additionally, you can see a lot of winery farms nearby.

Fun and quick little stop if you’re in the Niagara on the lake area. You probably won’t spend more than 10minutes here. No fee, but make a donation if you can

A beautiful little chapel at Niagara which should not be missed. There’s benches inside for at least 6 people to sit. Ample parking space around.

Very cute chapel to have a moment of silence. You can also donate and sign their guestbook. 🙂

This is probably a must-see attraction in the Niagara region😍The smallest church in the world⛪——The living water wayside chapel⛪ It is the smallest church in the world that is still open to the public⛪. It is no different from other churches⛪ except for its small size. You can worship and pray here🙏🏻, and even hold a special and romantic ceremony here. Wedding💒(If you hold a wedding here💒, you also need to make an appointment in advance. Why is it special to hold a wedding here? Because if you hold a wedding here, you can receive a special commemorative certificate issued by the local department.) There are only a few rows of double seats inside the entire church, which can accommodate no more than 12 people at most. Although it is small, it is really well-equipped and not small as it should be. This is what makes it special. 😎 ⏰About the opening hours: In fact, it does not have specific opening hours, but it is basically open if you go during the day, because it is right on the roadside, so please feel free to go. ⏰ 🎫About church tickets: This is free🆓 to visit, no tickets are required, and no advance reservation is required. 🎫 🚘About transportation: 1️⃣If you start from the Great Falls, there is no bus, but you can buy shared bicycles over there🚲. I see that many people come here on shared bicycles🚵🏻‍♂️, and the one-way trip is about 20 kilometers. (It’s very comfortable to ride along the Niagara River from the Great Falls, because it has a separate cycling lane, and the scenery along the way is also great. I really recommend riding here slowly. 👍🏻) 2️⃣Self-driving, it takes about 20 minutes to drive from the waterfall. Parking🅿️Just park directly behind this church⛪, it's free. 🚘 🏞️About the vicinity of the church: There is a farm next to and behind the church, where you can buy fresh produce or pick peaches🍑, strawberries🍓, apples🍎, grapes🍇 and other seasonal fruits. (The ice cream here🍦 is also good, most of the ingredients come from their own farm.)🏞️ ⚠️The church⛪ is on the way to Niagara on the lake. If you go to the town of Niagara, remember to enter the navigation 📍 in advance on the map 🗺️, then you will not miss this special church ⛪! ⚠️

The smallest church in Canada. Truly small ☺️, only has five seats.

A wonderful little church in a beautiful location. This was one of the most adorable and well maintained tiny churches I've ever visited. It was really amazing to see how many people from across the entire world have visited this place!

It’s okay for the price ($5 as of today), but it feels like it lacks storytelling or a cohesive theme. The exhibits seem a bit scattered, and a stronger narrative could make the experience more engaging and immersive.

Small however pretty positive and curious local museum to discover life of area founders! Recommended!

One of the oldest local history museums in Canada. Beautiful building and a very well curated collection. They are expanding into the property next door which should allow them to display even more of their expansive collection. Very nice staff. Worth a stop in during a visit to NOTL!

I didn't know that NOTL had a museum. We went when it was open doors. I enjoyed the tour, and hearing about some local history. I absolutely loved history through the ERAS, a take on Taylor Swift lyrics. Absolutely genius.

The Past is Present Heritage Festival Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum’s heritage festival brings history to life. Come to Niagara-on-the-Lake Museum for an exciting day filled with historical demonstrations, activities, and a variety of engaging experiences at the Museum's front lawn. This event promises to be a treasure trove of fun and education for visitors of all ages! Best of all, admission is free from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Aug 3-5, 9-11.

Located inside the Historic Old Town, Niagara on the Lake Museum offers the rich history of the whole Niagara region. Would recommend to visit it during the weekdays because sometimes you explore the place all by yourself. Admission is 5 dollars for adults.

I have visited Niagara-on-the-Lake many times, saw the sign for the museum, but drove right by. This time I decided to follow the sign and discovered this lovely museum located in an old house with beautiful gardens. Outside there is a rose Bush called "1812" as well as a terrace with historical cutouts. Inside there is a lovely small gift store as well as historical exhibits of clothes, items and a dress up section for kids. Now they are highlighting when the Polish trained in NOTL around the 1st world war. Highlight for me was to see the hat that Sir Issac Brock wore.

It's a nice park to walk around but was expecting more info/interaction regarding the historic piece. Beautiful park

The buildings are in good shape. The historical notices are informative. It's all very low key. There are public bathrooms at the recreation building just East through a small forest. I go there regularly for the 60% of The Commons set aside for leash-free dog walking. The Commons is surrounded by a paved, tree-shaded walkway.

It's basically a large field with a few remaining fort buildings that you can't access. It's mostly used by joggers and locals. These pics are of the annual Scout Brigade.

It's very interesting when you find out more about this location. It's free parking and free to view. Unfortunately you can't enter any of the buildings but it's still a great piece of history.

Great place that I have missed before. Definitely a place to visit. Smart presentation of the history through the see through windows feature stands.

Great place to teach your children the history of how Canada came to be independent. Let's hope our politicians can keep it that way.

Barrack is not open inside but you can see a formered staple and two cannons are sitting beside.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch after being told by friends that we had to go to this 200 year old restaurant and sit in the back outdoor patio. It was magical location and the food was fantastic. Jen our server was so nice and took great care of us. The fish and chips were delicious and I had the shepherds pie wish the darkest Gueness gravy you ever seen. After we ate we found out that they had live music from 2-5 so we sat and enjoyed a beautiful afternoon drink and entertainment. I would highly recommend stopping in and taking a break from walking the Niagara on the lake shops.

Not only is this one of the best places I have ever had the pleasure of visiting in my life, but the history surrounding it is equally fascinating. I encourage you to do some research on your own because I don’t want to give away any spoilers. The food is exceptional, showcasing a variety of exquisite flavors that truly elevate the dining experience. The team running this place is fantastic; they are warm, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do, which adds to the overall atmosphere. The building itself feels like a magical portal, transporting you back in time with its stunning architecture and decor that reflect a rich history. Every corner tells a story, and the ambiance enhances the experience. This is definitely a place I highly recommend; it’s a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food and immerse themselves in a unique setting.

Not your usual lackluster tourist fare. There is love in this old English inspired menu. I brought my English relatives to Niagara on the lake for the day and this was, according to them, the first decent meal they’d had in Canada over the week they’d been traveling. Wonderful ambiance on the massive rear patio. No skimping on the ingredients or taste just because it’s a tourist region. You get the value you expect and deserve. I had the fish and chips. My cousin had the steak and kidney pie the ladies had the poutine and salad and everything tasted amazing. Great job guys.

We came for a dinner with our kids. The food was tasty - me and my wife had the sheppard’s pie and steak with the onion pie. Both dishes were classic and tasty. The place had a great kid-menue with good prices. Although it was packed we received super nice and welcoming service.

We had a wonderful late lunch yesterday. Meghan our server was just glowing and beyond great! She was very down to earth, lovely, kind, fun, yet professional. She gave her recommendations for her favourites and why… Meghan had perfect timing for everything. She gave us ample time to sample our selections before returning to see how everything was tasting As well as to make sure we received everything we had ordered. I mention this because the server that delivered our food to the table forgot my side of gravy. My food was still warm and enjoyable when she returned with the forgotten item. The food was delicious and memorable. My other half had the fisherman’s pie which was decadent and I had the roast beef dip which sent me back to a moment when I worked at a place called Vicky’s pork and beef in Welland. It tasted exactly the same and was savoury and delicious! What a delicious experience thank you Meghan!

Stayed here one night for our 59th anniversary, was greeted by Jan she was lovely and welcoming . Room is lovely clean and spacious. Stayed in the Colonels suite. Then dinner we had Maddie our waitress very attentive and friendly . Bangers and mash and fish and chips was delicious but not big eaters do we could not finish it all. Wonderful stay here.

We did not stay here but we did enjoy their pub and restaurant twice it was so good. My first visit I had the Guiness and onion pie and it was the best Guiness pie I've ever had and I just ended a trip to the British Isles. Highly recommend over another highly touted Irish pub.

Fantastic experience! Gorgeous property! Beautiful selection of wine! Yunus & Dot were exceptional, so knowledgeable about the property and the wine selection. Thank you for your superior expertise! Château des Charmes should 100% be on your list when visiting Niagara Wine Country!

I visited Chateau Des Charmes as part of a trip to Toronto/Niagara in July. This was the first stop of our trip & it definitely set it off to a great start. Beautiful property, very spacious and was nice and quiet when we visited. The staff were so lovely & extremely knowledgeable about the wines. We had booked the wine tasting and learnt a lot about each & what paired best with them. I especially want to thank Anywn - she was great, very attentive and made sure to keep checking if we needed anything. Offered to take our photos and just overall made us feel very welcome. She is a credit to your team! If you’re looking for a vineyard to visit, I would definitely recommend this one!

We had a wonderful tasting experience at the winery. The wines were excellent — elegant and well-crafted. The service was outstanding as well, with Galina’s knowledge and warm, professional approach adding a lot to the overall experience. It’s clear she cares about making visitors feel welcome and enjoy the tasting. Highly recommended!

Stopped by Château des Charmes for a quick visit, and couldn’t resist grabbing several bottles including their 2024 Gamay Nouveau, 2020 Equuleus, and a few other selections. Their wines never disappoint! Beautiful spot, friendly staff, and consistently excellent quality. Always worth the stop. 🍷

Our visit to Château des Charmes in Niagara on the Lake was a dream! It's the most peaceful and serene winery I've ever visited! We were lucky to be there on a gorgeous sunny day, and the backyard area was the perfect spot to unwind. Their big, comfy white leather couches made it easy to sit back with our drinks, relax, and enjoy every minute of quiet conversation surrounded by the picturesque setting. The gentleman who greeted us was truly made for his role. He was incredibly personable and professional. He did a fantastic job explaining all of our options when we arrived and guided us effortlessly through the experience. There are plenty of choices, from tastings and individual glasses to cocktails and mocktails. My mojito came out initially missing some mint and muddling, but they handled it beautifully. The bartender immediately made things right, remade the drink perfectly, and even comped it with a genuine smile. The kind of old school, attentive hospitality ( becoming increasingly rare these days), they absolutely excelled at it! Overall, Château des Charmes completely exceeded our expectations. The atmosphere, the people, and the impeccable attention to guests made for a memorable and relaxing afternoon. We’ll definitely be back!

Amazing experience! Would recommend. We did the $25 tasting menu and enjoyed all 4 wines. François était le meilleur sommelier!! He was friendly and let my sister try a Riesling to see if she would like it :) thank you

We had one of the most nicest experiences at the winery, Fernanda our tour guide was amazing. I learned so much from her from the history of the chateau to the biology and science behind the process of wine making. She was very knowledgeable about everything. Answered all of questions, and no doubt made our tour easy and very enjoyable. If you ever go, ask for Fernanda 😁.

Such a lovely surprise! We had a chill picnic right beside this beautifully manicured giant clock, and it made for the perfect backdrop. The nearby monuments added a nice historic touch to the visit, and the pond at the foot of the clock? Full of koi fish gliding around like they were putting on a show. Peaceful, scenic, and a great spot to slow down and enjoy the moment. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

Amazing. Enjoyed a quick stop & be able to enjoy a living history. The flowers are just gorgeous! Look around the back of it & you’ll see the different arrangement/design they have planted throughout the years.

A beautiful piece of art which changes every year. A quick and easy rest stop. I also noticed a water boat tours booth nearby.

We were worried that no more flowers by the time we visit( thanksgiving - 2025 ) . But its still in full bloom. Love how the clock rings every 15 min. There is a trail to walk or bike , we walked 3 km to reach this spot. D

Nice and unique place a floral arrangement clock running on original products from 1960 it’s free to visit it’s located in the last tourist attractive part of Niagara Falls so even though some crowds are there it’s not as bad as like on theclassic spots From this point you can go on to see different parks and Power stations so if you’re in the neighbourhood or are you tourist It’s definitely worth your time Also don’t forget to go around the clock to see the mechanism.

Nice place to stop and stretch your legs. Hard to get a good photo with the ever present crowd of tourists. The clock is 75 years old and changes design every year.

The small room behind will lead to historical milestone of this place.There is washroom nearby .We did a brief walk to powerstatiom n us bridge look out .

If you're looking for an ice cream shop that goes above and beyond, COWS Niagara-On-The-Lake is definitely worth a visit! They boast a huge variety of flavors, so you're sure to find something that tickles your fancy. I highly recommend stopping by if you're craving an ice cream that's both delicious and picture-perfect. I grabbed my cone and found a bench nearby, and let me tell you, enjoying that sweet treat while surrounded by the beautiful town scenery made it taste twice as good! It's the perfect combination of great ice cream and charming ambiance.

Such a beautiful ice cream shop!! If you come to Niagara-ON-The-Lake, COWS is the perfect place for a yummy snack! Their ice cream feels so natural and there is a great selection of flavours. My favourite was the strawberry sorbet paired with the walnut-covered cone. Although there was a huge lineup, their staff is so quick and efficient which makes the wait time go smoothly. Their staff is also very polite and nice, and their customer service is exceptional, they don’t rush you and will give you good recommendations if you are unsure of their flavours. There are no washrooms inside, but there are very clean public washrooms just around the corner behind the courthouse (less than 1 min walk away). This place is well worth the hype!! I would definitely come back! 🤍🍦

Cows definitely puts the creaminess in ice cream! Stopped by for a couple of scoops and really enjoyed how heavily creamy they were. Tried the Moo Crunch and PEI Blueberry on cones, and liked how the flavours came through and how they weren't overly sweet. Only quibbles were the blueberries were too icy and the cones were a bit hard. But overall, really enjoyed. This is the perfect spot to stop by and grab a scoop to make that walk along Queen Street even more enjoyable.

What a cute shop - there was a pretty big line up even on a weeknight! The wait was quick though… we only waited about 10 minutes to be served and pay. The store is filled with cute merchandise - if you’re an impulsive buyer;m, you might be in trouble slowly zigzagging toward the ice cream counter! They don’t have regular cones but their sugar cones were delicious! We had the chocolate dipped ones. We had a Vanilla cone and a PEI Blueberry cone. Well worth the money!! Be prepared if you’re buying for a family 😉

Went here after seeing so many rave reviews. There was a long line that stretched all the way to the back door, but it moved fairly quickly—we waited about 15 minutes. We ordered three double scoops: the coconut cream pie and maple walnut were standouts—creamy and just the right amount of sweetness. We also got chocolate and vanilla, which were classic and safe choices. Overall, the ice cream isn’t overly sweet, which I liked. That said, it was good—but honestly, a bit overrated.

Cow’s Ice Cream is absolutely exceptional and truly worth the hype! It’s a must-visit when you’re in the Niagara-on-the-Lake area. We tried a couple of samples before choosing a scoop of Maple Walnut (because, Canada!) and the Wowie Cowie—both were outstanding. One of the highlights was watching the waffle cones being made fresh from scratch. Even better, you can have them decorated with sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other fun toppings, which makes the treat feel extra special. The staff worked really hard to keep the long line moving, and they did it with such friendliness and efficiency. This spot is basically a souvenir shop and ice cream parlor all in one—the adjoining shop is full of playful, cow-themed merchandise that makes the visit even more fun. There are entrances at both the front and back, which is super convenient. A quick note: there isn’t any seating inside or outside, so be ready to grab your cone and stroll the beautiful streets of Niagara-on-the-Lake while you enjoy.

Of all the flavors we got, the mango sorbet was my favorite! On a very hot summer day, it was a cool breeze! We knew it was popular, but we weren't expecting such a long line. Thankfully, it didn't take too long for our turn, & we got inside the store soon enough. The server who made my sundae was polite & dedicated to offering me all the options without rushing too much. The flavor options were great, like the peach melba.

Amazing place. Can climb the monument step over 250 of them. Been a few time and found out this time his remains are actually buried right were I was standing... nit with family but with his right hand servant....hmmm seemed kinda weird. The views and history are amazing. The drive along the Nigara down river from the falls to the monument is filled with amazing photo opertunities. Amazing to do with your early teens as they will be learning this in school ( if in Ontario,Canada )in the next few years of there life...great?day trip if in southern Ontario.

Queenston Heights Park is an extraordinary destination that offers a blend of natural beauty, historical significance, and recreational opportunities. The park's well-maintained gardens and scenic trails provide a perfect setting for leisurely strolls and picnics, with stunning views of the Niagara River and surrounding landscapes. History enthusiasts will appreciate the impressive Brock Monument and the park's rich historical context. The facilities are top-notch, and the staff are friendly and helpful, ensuring a pleasant visit for everyone. Whether you're looking to explore, relax, or learn, Queenston Heights Park is a must-visit gem that promises an unforgettable experience.

Quiet and peaceful, away from huge crowds. Great place to spend a summer day! The view is incredible from Brock's monument. Close to floral clock as well!

I have to make a special trip to come back again . I went to this park yesterday because we joined a day trip tour to the Niagara-on-the-Lake and we were there to have lunch at the restaurant. Only have time to take a few photos of the Brock's Monument, didn't have time to see the whole park. I can see good children playground, beautiful flowers and trees, over looking the Niagara River . Should be very beautiful in the Falls.

Visited Queenston Heights Park in late February where the signs state that the walkways aren’t maintained in the winter. You’d never know. The park was beautiful and well maintained. Outstanding views with lots of historical information posted.

Spectacular view. Amazing well maintained park. Rich in history and quiet. You would fall in love visiting this place. It was wintertime during my last visit and the view of the Niagara river is wonderful its more clearer view than summertime🥰 Not crowded. Its a very relaxing place. Its uniquely beautiful in every season 🥰

A nice well maintained park with a view of the Niagara River. Place is peaceful during my visit. Restaurants and food park are closed this time of the month but will be open during summer and peak season.

Charming but prices are not readily available so we did not buy anything. They were fresh cookies and sandwiches but if I have to ask how much I will not purchase. They had some beautifully crafted homemade jams, jellies, relish, etc that looked very good and the prices were underneath the jars. They also had ice cream and fresh fruit. This looks like a great place to stop during a summer drive. Washrooms are also available as well as a tiny church tourist attraction

Our tour bus stopped here for lunch yesterday. It had fresh fruits and vegetables, lots of bottled/canned goods, pies, one cream counter, deli counter with sandwiches and pastries, and candy. We got the Montreal smoked meat sandwiches on sourdough bread for $10 each. The meat inside was a good inch thick and very tasty!

It's a beautiful country market that sells fresh fruits and vegetables. They also have a great bakery section, if you're looking for tarts they have a good selection. Plenty of parking. Always worth a visit. I don't think I'd pay a buck and a quarter for an ear of corn though.

Nice market selling fresh fruits, pastries, ice cream, jams and other things. I really love their gluten free vegan choco chip cookies because they're thin and a perfect combination of chewy & crunchy! We also bought pecan tarts, apples, grapes and corn. Yum😃

I love this market. The staff are friendly and helpful. Everything I've purchased from them has been delicious. The peach tarts, peach scones, various preserves are some of my favorites so far. This is a great place to stop if you are in the area.

I loved it very much and I hope to visit it often. They have delicious coffee and the service is great. The saleswomen are nice and cooperative.

Ice cream is the best. Nice place to sit and relax. That small chapel is an added attraction.

Anthony gave us a personalized tour and is quite knowledgeable about the different presses. We were just going to take a quick look inside but ended up taking an extended tour as he made it so interesting.

We weren’t sure about seeing the historical sights included in our Niagara Falls Parks Adventure Plus Pass but the Mackenzie Printery peaked our interest so we went and it was worth every minute. Highly recommend you go and take the tour offered. Ask for Anthony, he is the best!!! There is a short tour (approximately 25 minutes) and a long tour (approximately 45 minutes). We started with the short and I think we ended up with the long because it was so awesome. The tour is interactive and hands-on. Our kids printed a Wanted Poster with our name to take home on an old printing press. They also printed bookmarks to take home. We even bought a Christmas ornament so we can remember the best tour of our Niagara Falls vacation. Thanks Anthony.

Interesting place of history. Tour was very informative. You can take photos inside but no video. It was interesting seeing how the early printers worked.

Such a hidden gem! 🖨️ The staff are warm, welcoming, and full of fascinating knowledge. You don’t just see history here — you get to touch it! The interactive exhibits make it fun, unique, and memorable. Definitely a must-visit for anyone exploring the area!

old times, good times!! a shout out to Emma, she was really informative, learned a bunch of new things, we had no idea about the Canadian political system of 1900's!! The highlight of the tour was the old printed poster and the hand made bookmarks!! Definitely recommend!!

Beautiful building but was unfortunately closed today due to unforseen circumstances. Can't wait to come back for a tour.

The printery is very cool!!! Like others, my wife and I stopped by as we were wrapping up a short vacation. We purchased the City Adventure Pass Plus and figured we would check this place out as it was on the drive to another location we were visiting. WOW did we underestimate how much we would like this printery. Anthony took the time to show us around and helped us make a wanted poster. Honestly we would definitely do it again it was so much fun.

Came here while visiting a friends wedding, and got a turkey sandwich. Was pretty busy, but expected since it was a Saturday around lunch time. Solid choice for lunch in a tourist spot! I'd say if you aren't too hungry, skip the sandwich and just get one of the chimneys with a dip since that's normally much faster.

My husband and I are visiting Canada for the first time to see Niagara Falls and we stopped in Niagara-on-the-Lake for boutique shopping and a snack. When I walked past Budapest Bakery and saw the words "chimney cakes" I had to see what that was all about! I went inside and it smelled like a fresh-baked heaven. I ordered the Sausage Chimney for my husband and I to share and it was amazing! The Hungarian sausage had a robust flavor, but not overpowering, and it went so well with the delicious, soft freshly baked Aged Cheddar Chimney. Also to note, the Sausage Chimney came with a side of sport peppers and yellow mustard packets. I LOVE sport peppers, so that was a pleasant surprise! I highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area! Worth all the calories.

Never had bakery bread quite like this before! The chimney shape alone makes it stand out. I tried the cinnamon, the classic, and two savory options — all turned out extraordinary. If I had to pick, the cinnamon and sausage are my top votes, but honestly, everything was flavorful and so satisfying. This spot is definitely on my Ontario favorites list for a weekend getaway or staycation. I’ll be back next time I’m in Niagara-on-the-Lake this fall.

Great take out spot offering both savoury and sweet options. Traditional chimney cakes with sausage or any sweet chimney cakes. they are all made in house and offered until they sell out. the line could get long depending on time of year and day. Also, it is not uncommon for the shop to get hit with an unexpected tour bus or get busier than anticipated and sell out before their closing hours. We have never had a bad experience here, the fair is always good and fresh. Recently tried one of their walnut rolls and it was delicious.

Yummy and Fresh chimney cakes! We tried the Jalapeño cheese chimney cake and it tasted great. Cute little shop at Niagara on the lake. They have variety of flavors for chimney cake and many options for sandwiches as well. Highly recommend if visit the beautiful town!

Amazing sweet and savory dishes. We had the coconut cheesecake one and the herb and cheese one in a chicken pesto sandwich special. Both were AMAZING. They were so good we picked up a third to go to have the next day. Highly recommend.

Yummy chimney cakes. Very fresh. If you go at the end of the day, they might only have a few flavours left. Go early

Cute little shop on the corner. The guy serving us was so nice and very courteous. I love apples, cinnamon and donuts, so these fritters fits the bill. Caution, they are really hot even after 10 minutes. The apple slushy was really good especially when its 30°C. There are a fe tables on the patio and some seating inside. Its small and quaint.

We had the apple fritters with ice cream and they were so fresh and tasty - 10/10 would recommend. The staff were so nice and friendly too. Our fritters had a 5 min wait so we were given a mini sample to try in the meantime. We were offered sauces (we chose caramel) which added an unexpected $2.50, but I could look past that once we tasted the fritters! This is a must do at Niagara on the lake.

Nice specialty pastry shop. The fritters were fresh and warm. We ordered the plain cinnamon sugar and they threw in a free extra one with caramel sauce for us to try. It is literally a fried apple ring. Great to heat the next day for breakfast. The outdoor patio was nice and quaint. Great location to coffee shops and specialty stores. This is a beautiful little town. Walking distance to the park, public washroom, carriage rides and shops.

Wish I could give more than 5 stars for both food and service! The owner was such an incredibly nice man and the fritters are the best apple fritters I’ve ever had, this is coming from someone whose favorite dessert is apples and cinnamon sugar. Next time we’re in the area we will be stopping by again.

Fun, friendly, and delicious. We got fritters every time we were downtown on our vacation. One time we got there 20 minutes after closing time. The owner was just walking out to leave, and he handed me a free box of 1/2 fritters that was carrying.

Fritters: 10 (have had the apple and they even did peach fritters during the peach festival!) Service: 10- amazing owner and staff- super friendly Patio vibes- adorable mosaic tile patio seating (limited). Overall- if you go to Niagara-on-the-Lake- you MUST try these fritters. You’ll be glad you did.

While the ambiance of Fritters in the Lake was charming, the fritters themselves fell short of expectations. Compared to the delectable apple fritters I've enjoyed at St. Jacobs, these were simply average. The dough was heavy, and the filling lacked the sweetness and flavor I've come to appreciate. While it might be worth a try for the atmosphere and a walk in historic downtown, I wouldn't recommend it for the fritters alone.

We were walking through Niagara on lake neighbourhood’s and came across this beautiful area. I leaned a lot and I encouraged my kids to read the information. Very nice and educational experience.

Free to visit. Difficult to find parking in the area during the summer months. Moving experience to talk through this park. Good place to reflect. Some benches to enjoy your time. Well maintained park all around. Plaques all around explaining this tribute.

Couldn’t find parking, so just a drive by. The town is really cute, and amazingly crowded. Everything is high end - looks like a hangout for the very rich. If you want to see how they live, drive through the neighborhood - just don’t try and park.

This was a beautiful experience to visit this park. Thank you for creating something special to remember the men and women who traveled North toward freedom.

Great green space to go and a very important part of Canadian history and those with African descent taught here on these plaques.

It was a moving experience to visit this park and reflect on the past and present. The park showcases important events in Canadian history. It is important to know about the significant Black presence in Canada, and specifically in Niagara on the Lake.

This is the first stop on the Voices of Freedom journey. A great way to begin viewing the history of people of African descent in Niagara Region. The art installation is well done and thoughtful.

What a blast!! We did this on 7/23/25 at 2:30pm and we couldn’t have picked the better time and weather was perfect. You really really get drenched anywhere you sit so just be ready to get wet. They have lockers where you can store your valuables for free and they also have change rooms you can use after the boat ride. Facility is kept clean and staff was super friendly! Highly recommended☺️ additional note 📝 - if you do not get wet, I mean WET, do not go on this! I expected to get wet but we got completely soaked and submerged into water!! 😆🤣🤩 like you get to be under and In the wave of water for a second. I have NEVER experienced the water hit your face that hard! It is SO MUCH FUN. If you want to do second time, they offer it at 50 percent off!

If you're looking for an unforgettable adventure while visiting Niagara Falls, look no further than the Whirlpool Jet Boat Tour! From start to finish, this experience is pure adrenaline, and I can't recommend it enough! Vinny and Jason were absolutely incredible. Vinny’s energy was contagious—he hyped us up the moment we boarded, making sure we were all ready for an exhilarating ride. He’s the kind of guide that gets you excited about every twist and turn, and his enthusiasm set the tone for the entire trip. Jason, our captain, was an absolute legend behind the wheel. He drove that boat like a NASCAR driver—smooth, fast, and with precision! We were flying over the waves, feeling the rush of the water and the wind in our faces, and it was all thanks to his skill and expertise. At times, it felt like we were on a roller coaster but with the added thrill of being on the water! The speed, the splash, the whole experience was a *do not miss* event when you’re in Niagara Falls. Whether you're seeking thrills or just looking to experience the beauty of the area from a whole new perspective, this is the tour you want to take. It's the perfect balance of heart-pounding excitement and natural beauty, and Vinny and Jason made it absolutely epic! Highly recommend—this was the highlight of our trip!

I highly recommend! This is definitely a great attraction for any age young or old!! I do suggest if you are sitting on the outside of the boat bring an extra change of clothing 😬 they do sell clothing and towels at the little kiosk if you happen to forget. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime

We just went on the last tour of the night with Chris (guide) and Adam (our captain). Overall it was a really nice experience and we would absolutely do it again. They even informed us that if we came back within 24 hours we would get 50% off a return repeat trip. Had we been able to move the next days plans we would have. Let’s start with - everyone is going to get wet. We went with littler kids so we were in row 5 and still were plenty drenched! The only real drawback is I think our expectation didn’t necessarily align with the product. There was lots of talking and only a few actual loops or runs into the water… maybe a dozen or so in the 45 min trip. I think we expected it to be more consistently jet boat adventure - whereas it was probably 80% boating and Chris chatting and playing music and 20%adventure jet boating actually getting wet. We just expected more of the adventure part, but that’s clearly not the agenda. For those more curvy people, note that the ponchos provided are small, so if you are above an XL, bring your own - or just wear your bathing suit and embrace the drenching! I’m a 3x and was a little sausage in the poncho. You can buy a video of your experience for $50. If you had a big group it’s definitely a fun memory - we didn’t get it. There are bathrooms and changing rooms at check-in, along with a gift shop where you can buy any gear you might want or have forgotten. Don’t forget to bring your towel and change of clothes - as everyone is going to be wet. While my top stayed pretty dry from the poncho my bottoms were soaked as we were sitting in inches of water after the big waves. The first 4 rows will be heavily drenched, the remaining rows will all get wet but not weighty wet. We worn goggles and greatly enjoyed being able to see the rapids as we whirled through them. Glasses and hats would definitely be ripped off in the waves crashing in in the first few rows, so be prepared with a string for any glasses you have if you don’t take them off. Honestly - we’d do it again with adjusted reality vs expectations. All of the staff was lovely! The girl who checked us in, Shawnita, was super helpful and answered all our questions and found answers when she didn’t know. All the staff who handed out life vests or picked them up were personable and warm. We’ll definitely be back next time we’re nearby!! We did note that reservations are suggested. While we were able to buy tickets upon arrival (we’re terrible at keeping a schedule), the tour time we could have made on arrival was sold out to a group so we waited around for an hour. Wasn’t bad - and glad we didn’t buy them early because of our personal lack of keeping on time to things - but if there is a time you really want to go and are better at being on time to things, then definitely book ahead!!

The trip was AWESOME. I went in a little nervous and expecting to get rocked in the boat, but it ended up being a BLAST! Our tour guide was Chris and he was such an energetic and witty guy. He definitely made the trip lots more fun. The tour itself was great as well. Getting to see the rapids from the water level is so humbling due to how massive the rapids are and how strong the current is. It was definitely a different perspective of the river. Going over the rapids was SO much fun! You get absolutely DRENCHED no matter what you do. After the ride, we got T-shirts to remember the experience. It was truly amazing and underrated. 100% recommend doing this, even over the Maid of the Mist tour.

Great experience and lots of funn. Book the open boat tour to get the full effect of the speed and agility of the boat. You will get wet so bring the spare clothes, but if you forget you can always buy a set in their gift shop. We had an amazing experience.

The jet boat tour itself was an amazing experience. Exciting, fun, and definitely worth trying. The staff were super friendly and made everything smooth and enjoyable. The only big downside was the changing/dressing rooms and washrooms. They were incredibly dirty and honestly pretty disgusting, which really took away from the overall experience. If the facilities were cleaned and maintained better, this would easily be a 5-star adventure.

I have traveled all over the United States and a decent amount of Canada, and this store is a true gem! This place is LOADED with AMAZING hand-made things. This man & woman really do have a very special store.

A wonderfully curated shop of Inuit art of all types from Canada’s northern regions. A wide range of objects along with a wide range of prices make it a great place to purchase the works of many native peoples to fit one’s budget.

What a beautiful store! My family and I felt very welcome when we walked in this past summer. The owner took the time to describe the stunning pieces she had on display. My son is very happy with his new dream catcher and the little temp tattoos she gave to him.

The store specializes in Inuit and Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) art celebrating and promoting Canadian Native Artisans. The store has stuff ranging from winter gear such as gloves, hats, scarfs to home decor and art pieces. The collection is unique and artisanal but I found the prices a little expensive.

Enjoyed the selection of indigenous art and overall vibe of this store. Spoke with the shopkeep about Morrisseau and Jasper and found him very knowledgeable and kind. Would 💯 return and give this man my business.

When asked what nations are represented the sales person just very rudely said, all over Canada….. Most of the pieces don’t have direct labeling over all really disappointing. I appreciate what is labeled but she seemed very upset at the questions asked.

Upper Canada Native Art is a fantastic and creative Art store! The Supervisor, Alex, was very knowledgeable, professional and personal in every way to share the joy of the individual artists representing at the Art store! We will return for a another treasure!

Well lit and Christmas prepared during winter - otherwise, not much going on here.

Interesting old court house .Well worth a look around it.

The iconic building of Canada's prettiest town.

Exterior is cool to see. Unusual to see such gothic structure in Canada. There's no way to see the interior that I could find. Too bad: I'm curious if the inside has more intriguing architecture too. Check out the faces on the windows!

Amazing Historical Orginality

Beautiful historic building.

If you enjoy history and museums you will love this place!

Great shopping or dining district; fudge, and icecream gallore. Watched a parade on Canada Day march down the street. Shortest parade ever. Short but sweet, literally. It ended with a cake. Had a piece of cake in Simcoe park.

I love this street on Niagara-on-the-lake. Fantastic 👌

Very scenic, relaxing and refreshing street with full of flowers everywhere

I recently had the pleasure of visiting one of the finest pubs I have ever experienced. From the moment I stepped inside, I was enveloped by a warm and inviting atmosphere that instantly made me feel at home. The decor is charming and eclectic, capturing the essence of a cozy Irish getaway, complete with soft lighting and traditional furnishings that create a magical ambiance. The team working there is truly exceptional—Their friendliness and attentiveness made our visit even more enjoyable. They were knowledgeable about the menu and eager to recommend their favorite dishes, which made our dining experience all the more special. Now, let’s talk about the food. Each dish we tried was not only delicious but also uniquely prepared, showcasing a perfect blend of flavors that danced on the palate. The freshness of the ingredients was evident in every bite, elevating the meal to something extraordinary. The building itself is stunning, with a beautiful exterior that hints at the warmth and charm waiting inside. As I looked around, I felt as though I had been transported to a magical Irish locale, where every detail contributes to a wonderful experience. I can confidently say this is a must-visit pub—one that I would recommend to anyone looking for great food, a fantastic atmosphere, and exceptional service. Don’t miss out on this hidden gem!

Classic feeling Irish pub that has a great atmosphere and vibe. Homey and heartwarming live music coupled with hearty dishes consisting mostly of typical pub fare. My only complaint is that service was quite slow. However the experience was overall excellent.

First time ever visiting Niagara on the Lake and this place made it an outstanding experience! The staff was phenomenal, the food was fantastic, and the best part of the whole thing is that not only did the food come out very hot, but it stayed hot through the entire bride meal! By the time I was done eating and ready for a to go box, my food was still hot, and I’m not a fast eater. I’ve never experienced that before! If you’re in the area and hungry, this place is extremely worth a visit!!

Stopped in for lunch this weekend- everything was great! I had the Irish stew, my fiance had the shepherd’s pie. Really enjoyed the champ instead of regular mashed potatoes. Drinks were good. Service was fast and friendly. Good atmosphere. Priced very well- we were under $100 for 2 meals and 3 alcoholic drinks.

Stopped in for dinner at The Irish Harp after watching Anything Goes at the Shaw Festival (awesome show BTW). The food was excellent and so was the service! There were three of us, we had: bangers & mash, shepherds pie, corned beef w/ cabbage. Everything had great flavour! And I cant forget the very delicious sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

The Irish Harp was buzzing—just like all of Niagara-On-The-Lake—during our visit! Despite being a large party of 17, the staff easily accommodated us, setting us up at two separate tables. My group was seated in a smaller, intimate study-like room, which was perfect for conversation. The food was delicious, and the service staff were truly top-notch. They checked on us frequently, ensured our needs were met, and cleared plates promptly. Plus, the restaurant has a fantastic location right on the main strip.

Not impressed. We went because the reviews said they had the best poutine. My husband said it was good. Can’t say the same about anything else. The Caesar salad was nay appetizing with all the brown lettuce. When asked if I was finished, no one asked if I liked it or if there was anything was wrong when they took a full salad away. I had the Mac n cheese it was ok at best. My husband and the fish and chips. Said the breading was chewy and not crispy. He pulled the breading off and ate the fish. He did say the tartar sauce was quite good. This was our least enjoyable meal we had in our trip. Clean gender neutral bathrooms. When we arrived there we available tables but were told people were coming in an hour and WE couldn’t be seated. However the people that came in right before us did not have a reservation and WERE seated. We had to sit outside which my husband hates.

Pretty. Super service, some great tasting wines can be had along with hummus and/or a variety of 3 cheeses (Brie, goat’s cheese and another hard artisanal cheese) with smokey mustard, sweet pickled onions and Maple syrup. Wine tasting can also be accompanied by other snacks such as potato chips etc. Full lunch menu is also available. Great views of the vineyard - not particularly extensive but gives you a feel of wine country nonetheless. Great afternoon out!

Ravine is my favorite winery in the NOTL region and has been for years! Located in St Davids, the wines are fabulous, the grounds are beautiful, and the service is outstanding. Utkaresh helped us on this visit and he was awesome describing the wines and ensuring we had everything we needed to have a great experience They have a small seating area inside to enjoy your flight or a large patio area outside. They offer charcuterie boards, hummus and other small snacks. There is also a bakery and full restaurant on premise (note the 3 all operate differnt hours) Their tasting flight allows you to pick 4 wines from their offerings. They have a wide range of wines *4 sparkling in both brut and charmat styles, 9 whites, 1 rose, 7 reds, and 1 ice wine were available. We shared 3 flights and a glass of ice wine so we tried 13 of their offerings and enjoyed all of them. My favorites were the sparklers, rose and oaked chardonay. This is a MUST stop on your NOTL visit My rating rationale for beer, wine, or spirits: +1 Service +1 Atmosphere/Vibe +1 Taste/Quality (Flavor, aroma, and overall quality of the beverage) +1 Presentation (Glassware, garnishes, and visual appeal of the drinks) +1 Selection/Variety (Range of beer, wine, or spirit options and uniqueness of offerings

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great place to visit! Amazing service — truly beyond expectations. The staff was friendly, the wine selection had great taste and variety, and the cheese tray was absolutely delicious. Everything was quite pocket-friendly compared to other wineries. What impressed me most was their attention to detail — they happily accommodated my food sensitivities and provided gluten-friendly crackers at no extra cost! Our server, Shennel, was exceptional and made the experience even better. A lovely spot for everyone — even kids can enjoy snacks and sodas from the Greenhouse and play in the huge open field within their parents’ sight while the adults relax and enjoy the wines. Highly recommended! 🍷🧀🌿

After having a number of fantastic wine and dining experiences at Ravine we decided to celebrate our wedding at Ravine Vineyard this August and it was the best decision ever! This venue is like no other and we couldn't have asked for a better experience and a more beautiful day. The venue aesthetically is stunning and feels both upscale but also relaxed. The food and drink is of a very high quality and the patios and event spaces are bright, spacious and very welcoming! In the weeks leading up to our big day our planner (Abby) was helpful, responsive and really put our minds at ease. She was extremely accommodating with requests and provided some thoughtful recommendations throughout the process. Abby and the day of coordinator work with all our vendors on the day and and overall it was such a relaxing day. Most of our guests traveled from abroad and it was clear to us they were very impressed with everything that Ravine brought to our day. Overall a wonderful experience and would highly recommend Ravine for a celebratory event or special occasion!

We stopped in on a quiet Wednesday and had an amazing view of the vineyard. Tons of shaded seating outside but also a cute indoor tasting room as well. A wide variety of wines including some amazing bold reds. The whole selection of wines tended towards being more dry which I greatly appreciate. Staff were friendly and helpful! Highly recommend this winery!

This was our fifth winery in two days and wow what a pleasant surprise! Warm and inviting atmosphere! Loved the seating area…a lot of space to gather. The view of the vineyard is spectacular. Victoria was of great assistance providing us with history and knowledge of the winery. This is the winery that sold me on white wine. I am not a white wine drinker, but when I tasted the Patricia Block Riesling , I was sold! This wine tasted so magical! Then another that I sampled was the Riesling ice wine which again Is something that I have not enjoyed in many years. My colleagues had ordered this as part of their wine flight of testing but I had not. Victoria thought to bring me a sample of the Riesling ice wine with the thought that I may change my mind on ice wine. This Riesling ice wine was pure silk, the liquid just sat on my tongue with just the right sweetness! It was just a wow moment. Thank you so much, Victoria. I cannot wait to sit with my husband and enjoy these Rieslings.

I’m blown away by our experience at Ravine Winery tonight! It was my anniversary with my partner and we had an incredible meal + winery pairing tonight. Wonderful service, INCREDIBLE food, and amazing atmosphere. I’m already recommending this place to everyone I know. THANK YOU Ravine!!

I recently visited Inniskillin Winery in Niagara Falls, and it was truly a wonderful experience. The winery is spacious with a beautiful setup and a stunning location, perfect for enjoying a day out. They offer an impressive selection of wines, and I had the chance to sample some truly great ones during our tasting. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and knowledgeable, which made the experience even better. I went with friends from out of town and even from overseas, and we all had a fantastic time exploring, tasting, and soaking in the atmosphere. Overall, it was an excellent visit filled with good wine, good company, and great memories.

we did tour and tasting. very satisfied and really enjoyed our time in Inniskillin. our tour guide, Yvonne, was amazing. loved ice wine we tasted, ended up tasting more wines and buying three bottle :) beautiful winery with interesting story!

My pup and I had a wonderful visit to Inniskillin Wines. The property is beautifully maintained with plenty of seating options—tables and lounge chairs outside, plus air-conditioned indoor seating that was perfect on a hot day. I especially appreciated how dog-friendly the staff and winery are, both inside and out. I did a tasting of all three ice wines, which costs $40, and learned a lot about their production. If you spend over $50 on wines, then you get $10 off your tasting. Although we didn’t have time to eat, the atmosphere was peaceful and welcoming, making it easy to see why this winery has such a great reputation.

The reputable Inniskillin Winery is worth a visit. An hour long tour with wine tasting cost $30, on a first come first serve basis. The tour ticket gets you a $10 discount on any wine purchase. We visited today and found out that their signature Gold Vidal Icewine was on sale with $10 off. Along with the $10 discount from the tour, with a total of $20 discount, which was a very good deal.

Came for lunch and did a tasting. Food was good, service was good, wine was good, so nothing to complain about. I had the peach burger and my husband had the brisket sandwich (peach burger was our favourite). Of all the wines, the sparkling ice wine was most interesting that we left with a bottle.

An iconic stop for ice wine lovers. Our first winery stop in the region. We arrived shortly after opening and found a few groups already sipping wine on the lawn. Plenty of parking, and unlike some other wineries in the area, no drawn-out tours or gimmicky tastings. Just a straightforward, well-run setup. We went with their standard three-wine tasting ($25–$30 depending on the selections), which allowed two dry wines and one ice wine. Since it was still early in the day, we didn’t want to start with an all-sugar lineup. Inniskillin is a pioneer in Canadian ice wine and Gold Vidal was where it first started. So of course, we tried their signature Gold Vidal, which was described as bright and peach-forward. Unfortunately, we found the sweetness a bit overpowering. Our favorite was the Cabernet Sauvignon Ice Wine. Still rich and sweet but with a touch of red fruit depth that made it more tolerable. All the dry wines we tried were relatively mundane. Nice bonus: tastings come with discounts on wine purchases over a certain amount. Since we picked up a few bottles, we got $20 off our total (just over $100).

I have tried their wine a few times on restaurant menus over the years, but it was my first time visiting. Lovely winery, friendly staff and beautiful grounds with a picturesque patio. Did a tasting, the standout by far was the Vidal Icewine, this is the best I’ve ever tasted, perfectly balanced, sweet but not overly sweet and not too syrupy like some others I’ve tried. So good I bought 2 bottles, can’t wait to enjoy!

We had a great experience! The ice cream was delicious, with a wide variety of flavors to choose from, and they also offer fresh baked goods and pastries. The service was friendly and efficient. It’s perfectly located right in the heart of downtown, and the setting is cozy and welcoming. A lovely stop for a sweet break — I definitely recommend it!

What a wonderful spot to sit and enjoy fabulous cappuccino with a croissant! This place is such a gem as they make their own baked goods with traditional values and proudly serving their authentic Italian baked goods. And the coffee! So damn good! Your taste buds will enjoy the feast of flavours from chocolate to almond, pistachio, hazelnuts… their gelatos are as sinful! If you love freshly baked goods and enjoy richness mixed with light pastry, this is the place to visit! They are also offering vegan and gluten free as well as sugar free options. I can’t wait to visit your shop again!

Amazing to see the new space! Everyone was amazingly kind and generous as always. I was sad I wouldn’t be able to get my walker into the building, but seeing the new space I got it up and didn’t feel like I was using so much space. I am impressed with the staff and of course the food. I ate my food before I could take a photo! Oh no. lol. Again amazing. I had a double affogato with after 8 ice cream and a lemon croissant. I might stay longer and try a soup! I can’t wait to try the Port Dulhousie space soon! Ok so I stayed for some pasta. lol. And a tart for later. A small serving but a serving that was delicious. So impressed.

Absolutely delicious gelato! The flavors are so authentic and creamy, just like in Italy. Every scoop tastes fresh and made with love. The staff is always welcoming and friendly, and the atmosphere makes it such a nice spot to stop by. Highly recommend Gelato di Carlotta if you’re looking for the best gelato in the area, it’s a must-visit!

A must stop for us EVERY time we are at Niagara on the Lake for a refreshing cup of artisanal gelato from Carlotta! Service is always fast and friendly! Our server today gave us an extra large small cup! 😉😋🍨

Tried the Dubai Pistachio and Hazelnut with the waffle cone, loved it ♥️. Definitely our new favourite ice cream spot at Niagara on the lake. Also tried the ice cream sandwich, was so good !! The staff who work there are really sweet and lovely too.

Delicious affogatos! We loved the cozy atmosphere and natural lighting. The left is a double shot tiramisu and the right is a double shot chocolate orange. Definately reccomend!

I was my pleasure to stay at this beautiful hotel that shows pride and loyalty to their patrons. The staff is well mannered and kind. The main lobby is showcasing beautiful art and gives you the feel of old charm mixed with modern amenities. Our room was clean, spacious and tastefully decorated. It gives you the feel of regal opulence. The housekeeping staff is well trained and appreciative. There are many staff members working hard to keep this place extremely beautiful and in order. The maintenance, housekeeping, gardeners, the front desk… all of you make us returning guests feel welcomed and happy with your care and great attitude. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Afternoon Tea was just ok. My sister came for a visit from out of province and I made a reservation well in advance. My 9 year old grand daughter joined us for both her and my sisters first afternoon tea and trip to Niagara on the Lake. We arrived a few minutes before our reservation and the hostess seemed quite flustered and told us to wait in the lobby as the first seating was still there. Not sure what that meant as there were empty tables and we had a reservation. We waited and then the three of us were seated at a table for 2 with a small round table next to us. It was in the glassedin area. It took over 40 minutes to get tea and the food was ok. Actually the bread on the cucumber sandwiches was stale and hard and the smoked salmon ones were slightly better but the bread was also hard. The scones, pumpkin tart and egg salad croissants were very tasty. We were not able to keep our tea pots on the table and it was awkward to eat as the small table was so crowded. The host came by at one point and asked if we wanted to move to the inside room but we were settled and trying to keep it upbeat for my granddaughter who was super excited to be there. There was a table for 4 in the corner across from us that was empty and remained empty the entire time we were there. All that to say we were happy to have done an afternoon tea but wouldn’t recommend this place for service or food.

Words are not enough to describe how wonderful this hotel is! The greeting and registration process was smooth and a very warm welcome. The rooms are probably the best I have stayed in. I was here to celebrate my 65th Birthday and staff could not have done more to help me celebrate. Drinks in the Churchill bar were exceptional as was the dessert. Service was so warm and friendly. The atmosphere with a live pianist was brilliant. I cannot express how fabulous this hotel was and how fantastic the staff were. I would, without hesitation, recommend this hotel. I am already planning a revisit in the near future!! Infact we extended our stay by a day!!

Do not upgrade to a superior room! There is nothing superior at all! No fireplace, mold everywhere, the duvet cover had coffee stains on it. The safety didn’t work after three attempts to have people fix it, the front end staff especially the young Asian girl were very very rude! The concierge told us to look stuff up online. The restaurant messed up all six of our meals over three days. How hard is it to get an omelette with only cheese! Came out three times so I just ate it the wrong way because it was stuffed with onions and peppers etc.! Definitely not worth the price I paid and not a five star hotel anymore. My fiancé visited there about seven years ago and said it was beautiful it obviously went downhill! Everybody was walking around like zombies and nobody cared that we were there except for Jason and his counterpart as valets! They would be the only reason I would ever reconsider sending anybody to this hotel. I have pictures if anybody is interested

I went in really expecting a lot from a vintage luxury hotel experience. The staff are friendly, high tea was delightful, dinner at Noble was great. But the rooms… the bathroom has black mould in corners, tub stopper didn’t work, and when I pulled it out there was black gunk on the underside. Also, the edges of the bathroom floor were dusty and hairy. So, disappointed and a bit grossed out. Great location. Not sure I’d return though because I like my rooms clean and for the price I expected more — though a clean bathroom is a basic ask.

We did not stay at the hotel, just visited the restaurant, but they clearly prefer a specific clientele, and my wife and i did not meet their standards. My wife and I went for our 15th anniversary. We didn't have a reservation, and were asked a few odd questions, like if we were staying at the hotel, which wasn't strange in itself, but was followed by where are you from, why did we come to this restaurant, and have you been here before. If it was conversational, it would have been okay, but it felt like an interview. We were then told that they could get us a table, but it would be a 15 minute wait. When I agreed, the hostess said it could be longer, it could be 30 minutes or more, and 15 is just the minimum. That felt strange, too, but I agreed. This is the strangest part, after about 15 minutes she came to get us and show us to our table. There were more empty tables than occupied tables, and they were all clean, so what was the wait for? The room we were taken to had 6 tables and only one was occupied. (See photos) It felt to me like she'd hoped we would leave rather than wait for a table. The waiter was stiff and not too friendly at the introduction, but loosened up as the evening went on. I got the impression he was meant to ward us off from coming back, but soften a we were very friendly to him. The menu doesn't have many options, and the portions are small, especially for the price, but I guess that's high-end dining. I won't be going back, which I suspect is what they wanted. Tip: We went to Gelato di Carlotta for dessert. I bet much recommend that place! It was very good. If you're in Niagara-on-the-Lake, skip the Prince of Wales restaurant, but go to Gelato di Carlotta.

Traditional high tea is $55.00 comes with 3 small savoury sandwiches, 1 savoury humus tart, 1 scone per person, with crème fraise and strawberry jam, 1 mini cup cake, 1 macaroon per person with your choice of teas. I chose masala chai tea. Surprisingly it is very filling. Did not enjoy being seated indoor on sofa’s. Was not offered seating in the enclosed outdoor space. Felt like I was sitting in a stuffy drawing room of an elderly relative. The server was snappy, wouldn’t answer any questions. “When I serve it, I will explain everything” was her snappy response. Should be more amenable to questions in relation to lactose allergy, when one of our party has a severe lactose allergy.

We had a wonderful wine tasting experience! Jae Bum, general manager was very professional, knowledgeable, and kind. He not only guided us through the wines but also shared fascinating insights about the history of the winery and the business. His expertise and friendly manner made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommended! Incredible time we had.

I visited Pillitteri Estates Winery on my own and had a wonderful experience! The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and they explained the ice wine-making process in detail. I especially loved the Vidal Icewine — rich, smooth, and perfectly balanced in sweetness. The Sparkling Icewine was also amazing, refreshing with a unique sweetness that made it stand out. The winery itself is beautiful and relaxing, perfect for photos and enjoying a peaceful moment. Highly recommend visiting, especially if you’re a fan of sweet wines or trying ice wine for the first time!🥰😍

Amazing experience at Pillitteri! The service was excellent from the moment we arrived. We joined the Chinese tour which was very helpful and informative. The icewine is absolutely delicious!! The best icewine! We bought a few bottles. The best part is that they can ship the wines directly to us, which is so convenient.

The public wine tour was decent, and thank goodness for the three samples to enjoy along the way. The wood fire pizza was absolutely one of the best I’ve ever had—worth the stop alone. But skip the ice wine cocktails; they’re overpriced for the small pour and the flavor doesn’t match the cost

We ordered the guided tour from travel agency. We were originally going to Inniskillin, but I didn’t know why the agency took us here. In any case it was rainy, so the Chinese receptionist asked us whether went outside or not. We thought the outside means the vineyard, so we refused. Then the tour just introduced the family history of the owner in a passage about ten minutes, even not the history of the wine. After that she brought us to taste test, “without mentioning they have wine cellar to look around”. She just wanted us to taste the ice wine and purchase, and asked other type which she likes, she said she didn’t drink wine(Me:??????), so just recommended the best seller. At the beginning we just chose three bottles ice wine. I can feel that she was unhappy cause we brought too less. (I had to emphasize she didn’t force us, just looked really unhappy.) Thus, we requested to taste other kinds, and she say we can buy 6 get 1 free (free was cheapest). The price of ice wine was CAD70 / CAD75 / CAD 85 / CAD100 / CAD150.（Depends on different varieties.) Anyway, this tour and receptionist made us feel uncomfortable and unhappy. Because receptionist didn’t remind us to visit the wine cellar, and just eager us to buy the wine, lead to miss the viewpoint. The ice wine taste good, so the 2 star came from it. But I hope I won't see prices that are much cheaper in other stores.

We joined the wine tour. It was amazing. It comes with wine tasting. Highly recommend. It is actually our first time to try their wine. We like the wine with a bit of fruity and sweetness, so immediately fall in love with them.

Our group of 4 just enjoyed a tour & tasting at this wonderful winery. Our guide Supreen was very knowledgeable & friendly. Enjoyed ourselves so much that our friends signed up for the wine club & we upgraded our membership!

Fell in love with NEOB Niagara from the moment we first discovered it about 10 years ago. I adore lavender 💜. It’s also a bonus that it’s woman owned. And the products - they’ve truly become part of my life. I can’t live without their tea light candles (burning one now… glorious lavender… yum!). Their lavender linen spray is part of my nightly wind-down. I mist my sheets and pillowcases every night. It’s such a relaxing, subtly fragrant way to signal sleep. I use their lavender laundry soap to wash special items like our sheets and towels. Extra cozy, extra comfort. Bonus: the lavender dryer bags are also amazing for those. Their rose geranium spray is something I always keep with me. It’s light, refreshing, and feels like a tiny self-care ritual. Especially lovely for moms. I keep one in each bathroom vanity at home and always travel with one in my bag. It’s perfect for misting on a plane or at the airport after a long travel day. I also travel with the tea lights. They’re nice and compact, and I pop one into my soapstone oil burner to bring a little calm wherever I’m staying. What really surprised me was how much my son enjoyed the boutique too. Normally when mommy shops, he’s swaying side to side going, “Mommy, I’m bored,” but not here. He was totally into smelling all the soaps and oils. It was such an olfactory delight for the whole family! We also loved trying their lavender cookies, popcorn, and honey. Such a treat. I’ve even ordered some to have at home. And it was really fun to show my son where lavender actually comes from, one of mommy’s favourite things 😍 The boutique itself has a quiet beauty to it. Natural wood, soft lighting, thoughtful displays. It doesn’t feel over-styled or forced. Just peaceful and grounded. You notice the scents, the textures, the light. I hope they always keep making the things I mentioned - the candles, the linen spray, the laundry soap and dryer bags, the rose geranium mist. They’ve become part of my home, my travels, my everyday rhythm 💜. And if they ever add lavender lemonade or lavender soft serve at their boutiques in the summertime - we’ll be first in line!! 😉

We stumbled upon this little boutique shop while on a weekend away in Niagara on the lake. Beautiful little shop with a huge array of products I can’t even begin to elaborate on. Definitely a must see if in the area. The shopkeeper was super knowledgable and helpful, and we picked up the pillow spray and one of the lavender shampoo. They have some fantastic looking gift baskets here that I’m sure anyone would love to receive or give. The smell while in here was incredible. ♥️ the great discovery! Thank you for a wonderful first experience in your shop!

THIS ADDRESS for 38 QUEEN IS THE STORE (Boutique) in the town. This is not the correct address for their Lavender farm which is at 933 Niagara Stone Road. The farm has another page on Google Maps with the correct address and photos. Please update the photos to include the boutique in the town. It’s misleading for tourists to drive all the way to the town and think the address is taking them to the farm.

Thank you Tracey? I visited in late July and you educated me on all the lavenders! I couldn’t decide without you. Thank you so much! I would come in this store every day if I could & just to see you too! I bought edible lavender for lemon cookies and pillow spray. I adore this shop!

We enjoyed our time at the lavender field. The wild flowers are quite beautiful and we.took many pictures. As we're traveling a long way, it didn't make sense to get a bouquet, but we did enjoy all the lovely products in the shop. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable. Thanks for everything!

Wanted to share this review for about the past month but I was waiting to give some feedback on the products I bought as well. The boutique is very easy to find with a wide range of products focusing on lavender but also combining it with complementary scents. Great options for both men and women but really everything is unisex for the most part. I did purchase the lavender water and ice cream which were both refreshing and delicious. For body I purchased the soap bar which is very refreshing and doesn’t dry my skin out. For home I bought the pillow mist which I love and find very calming. Customer service was great, informative but never pushy. Location is wonderful for taking pictures and gram friendly moments.

Lavender farm is one of the best place to spend a relaxing afternoon. Best bloom time are during early July. Harvest season toward end of July to early August. We came during harvest season to experience the lavender aroma in the air. Staff here are very nice and accommodating. The site boutique is a must see (attached pictures of few products they have) lots of great products to pumper your day. Parking is free. Entrance fee depends on which season. We only paid $5 for 2 adult and one child because it was almost end of season and they always say less bloom left as they are harvesting each day. You’ll be to judge from photos we got. They also provided us $6 credit towards any purchase at the boutique so to do the math we basically got free entrance that day. Take note that lavender flowers are tiny by nature and if ty go there with point and shoot smart phone, you got to plan at its greatest bloom season. For we do photography as a hubby, we tend to not worry about any season to visit as kind of know how to capture an angle to make them look at its best. Staff attitude is really a plus. That’s what makes us love the place. That promotes good moods prior to the start of your visit and it last till you got home. Hope this review helps on your future plans to visit this place.

This is a gem! Juan was our tasting specialist and he was great! After tasting a few wines, he recommended some options for my husband and I and we LOVED them! They had some very unique wines that were amazing. I would definitely add this to your visit to Niagara.

Friends recommended Strewn Winery and a visit to Terroir Restaurant. We had an exceptional experience with Kafil suggesting an excellent 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon pairing with our meal. The music, quality of food, ambiance and service created a night to remember. We will be back!! Nora & George, Windsor, ON

Such a lovely experience! Our waitress was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, the wine tasted delicious and it was super fun to try wines we’ve never heard of before. The complimentary sparkling wine at the beginning of the tasting was a nice touch too!

Juan was very helpful and informative about the wines and helped tailor our tasting a to our preferences! Wines are DELICIOUS and affordable! Highly recommend!

I recently booked an Outdoor Wine Tasting & Vineyard Tour at Strewn and was blown away by the experience. Their customer service, wine expertise and communication provided deserve a full five stars from when I first walked in to the moment I left. Finding the place was easy. The wine was great! As far as peak times (we went on a Saturday) it was not ridiculously busy which was exactly what we wanted. There were some other groups around but the space has a great layout and we were not disturbed whatsoever. If you are thinking about doing something like this, look no further. I would have done the culinary/dining experience too but we might save that for another time or pay day. Honestly though, the price was very reasonable and I would not bat an eye to do it again based on the value being offered. - TIP: Ask about the Cabernet Franc if you're a fan of red's. Finally, a big hats off to Paul, the Director of Estate Services and Cody, Consultant for their excellent service! Everyone in the establishment was hospitable and pleasant. - By the way, I planned a surprise for my girlfriend here with top tier advice from Paul and he was the wingman of my dreams! She didn't see it coming, IYKYK. Give them a go, you'll thank me later.

Beautiful winery, had the rosè and it was delicious. Loved the art show they had going on with the plein air painters on site.

We had a fantastic time at Strewn Winery in Niagara-on-the-Lake! Sharon greeted us with warmth and made the tasting experience truly special. Her knowledgeable explanations helped us appreciate each wine even more, and her genuine hospitality made us feel completely at home. A memorable visit from start to finish! I understand why Decanter has honored Strewn.

We came to Big Head two weeks ago for a couple tastings and it was decent. It’s a local winery that feels more corporate and not as personable as some of the smaller wineries around the area. We weren’t able to do the tastings we were hoping for and instead had to resort to other selections. Luckily, one of their staff members, who wasn’t initially serving us, made us feel more welcomed and made the experience a little more personable. Thank you Alicia for sharing your knowledge and for the great hospitality.

It took me a few years to write this review, but it is an excellent product having bought A case in 2021 of the 2017 vintage, it is absolutely incredible to taste today aged beautifully, smooth and velvety with subtle notes of Fruit. I’m not an expert, but I know what’s good and this is good. I hope that the recent vintages come close to what we drank with this 2017 version, the alcohol content was a little bit lower in 2017 around 13.5 now it seems to be rated at 14%. Who knows if it makes a difference just saying that what I had was good.👌👍

Visiting this pleasant distillery was a good find. I was treated with extra wine sampling and walked away with a great bottle of wine. The staff were very helpful with everything. I will visit again when I’m back in the area. Their winery has won many first place awards. Definitely worth another visit.

The most wonderful experience with the absolute favorite wines in the area. Where to start? For reference, we have tasted wines from many areas of the world in the 1,000s and have done 100s of tasting experiences. Few come close to our wonderful time with the owner (Andrzej). We booked his top of the line tasting, and the wines are phenomenal! Imho the rival the most well-known and way more expensive areas of the world. Locally, there is no competition, in my opinion. The wines are so amazing that I'll be blinding my fancy wine drinker friends just tonsee their face when they find out that it is Canadian wine. I'm 100% sure they are going to lose their mind. I talk about quality first as this has always been my biggest focus. Seldomly, I reference anything else when tasting wine. However, this is a win win, the experience matches the quality. Adrezej has a level of passion for what he does that is rarely witnessed. We enjoyed our visit so much that we made a second stop during our 5 day visit to the area, and this just made the whole trip so much more worthy. My strong suggestion is to try as many of his wines as you can. I'll come back soon just to visit this winery. Thank you very much for the wonderful experience. Best gift you can give anyone is a beautiful memory. Cheers !!

After visiting a winery that felt like a seminar and another that felt like a self-serve gas station, Big Head was exactly what we were hoping for. Sean and Cadence were the perfect hosts - genuine, engaging, and effortlessly knowledgeable. They gave us just enough insight to appreciate each pour without overwhelming the experience. It felt personal, relaxed, and refreshingly human. The wines were fantastic, but it was the atmosphere they created that made it unforgettable. This is how wine tasting should feel. We’ll be back, and bringing friends.

Big Head is one of my most absolute favourite wineries in NOTL! From the extremely friendly staff to the delicious wines and fun atmosphere, it's always a great time! THANK YOU to all of the incredible servers who make having a tasting there just so much fun!

Very interesting winery with a unique approach. But overpriced and not friendly. Would be better if they didn't charge for a tasting up front and instead make it free if you buy. Having paid the highest price in the area for a tasting, I was not interested in buying any wine. Don't bother going here.

This is a beautiful Theater in Niagara On The Lake, Ontario Canada. It is one of the theaters presenting wonderful plays with the George Bernard Shaw Festival. The shows range from Musicals like Anything Goes to mysteries like Wait Until Dark to Family shows like The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. These shows run for many months. You can get info on the web through The Shaw Festival.

We visited for the Shaw Festival from the U.S. with family we have in Toronto. The theater was intimate, I don't think thete was a bad seat in the house. There's a nice refreshment area with seating as well as good toilet areas.

It has served well for over 100 years. I’m enjoying its last season before it is torn down for replacement. Meanwhile, bathrooms are down a spiral staircase and the Ladies has just three stalls, so plan ahead. There is comfy seating in the downstairs lounge if you want to relax a bit before your show.

Small, cozy and beautiful old architecture in a middle of downtown Niagara on the Lake. The show we watched is called Tons of Money. A comedy with great group of actors and actresses. Improvisations were part of the show (finally something funny and off the script) and were executed to the delight of the audience. I will apologize in advance for what I am about to say. Both my wife and I are not mobile challenged, but going up and down those steep stairs to the bar presented a great challenge. And there were groups of 70 and 80 year young folks who needed help. We were just wondering if there might be something to help alleviate this problem. Unfortunately I didn't take pictures this time, but we will be going there again very soon and I will do my due diligence, I promise. For a visitors to Niagara on the Lake: Be aware that all festivities on the main drag end at 10pm...including restaurants.... Hence the 4 stars.

Excellent little old theater. Saw A Christmas Carroll here in December and it was fantastic. Limited bar items but you can take your drink into the theater. Great little town to visit during christmas.

The sound is perfect. It's a lovely theater. People are warm and cordial. It's a lovely day when you can spend time at this theater!

Went to see Murder on the Lake and it was a wonderful performance. Intimate smaller theatre and both performers and staff were excellent. It was our first time at the Shaw festival and I suspect it will not be our last.

A little piece of history with some fun information about the War of 1812. It is small and doesn't take long to see, but is just a short walk from the road. You have to walk through a golf course to get there, which is probably very awkward during golf season. The other option is from a path along the beach, but the walk will be longer to get there.

Walking distance from the Main Street in Niagara on the lake. Shows the history… definitely worth the visit. Going there in the evening closer to sunset adds some charm to this place.

It’s surreal to see, tucked in behind an active golf course and impressive to enter as it’s not locked behind a gate. Wander the grounds (as small as they are) and squint your ears, legend says you’ll hear the cries of soldiers but the fort was built after the war and never saw any action so listen to the water lapping the shores of the lake instead and tell your friends you heard ghosts.

Have to yield to golfers to walk to it. Not a huge issue. Uneventful for the most part other than you can see a few cities from the point. Toronto looks pretty cool at a distance, wasn’t expecting to be able to see it. Otherwise everything has bars and you can just walk around the outside.

Another National Historic Site checked off! Fort Mississauga is worth a visit if you are at Niagara-on-the-Lake, as it is not too far from the Historic Old Town. This building is full of history and you will definitely enjoy knowing its story and the strategic value it held. I especially enjoyed the views with the fort and the lake side-by-side. The building has recently gone through a renovation in 2020 - 2021, and a walking trail was constructed leading to the shoreline. This is why the building is now in much better shape with the walls intact. A new roof has also been installed on top. I hope one day we could see what is inside or have tours at certain times in the week. Winter is a bit harder to come by as the trails are not maintained.

Great short walk, to a fun fort with a great view. Wish i could have seen inside though!

Not much to see but I believe that the building is rich with History. I hope I would someday see what's inside the building since it was closed when I have visited it. Place is almost hidden and I though at first that it's not accessible since it is located inside a golf club. Place is serene though and not much people are in the area. You can also see the view of Lake Ontario along the walkway and view deck.

First time at a winery on July 5, 2025. I’m so glad I chose this place to be my first experience. My husband and I stopped in and enjoyed a flight tasting and then chose one of the ones that I enjoyed as a glass as well. The weather was beautiful, so I enjoyed my glass outside in their Outdoor seating while enjoying the music. The young man that served us was very knowledgeable, explaining the process how different wines were made and was very kind. I really enjoyed trying ice wine for the first time! We plan to return next summer with the family.

Great wines. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Overall great experience for a small winery. It was hard for hubby to choose a bottle to bring home. We will be back.

The highlight of our weekend! Adrian was absolutely amazing—his passion and knowledge about the wines made our experience unforgettable. Thanks to him, we joined the wine club on the spot! We’re already counting down the days until the exclusive wine club event!

Great winery and well trained staff. Will book a tasting tour and visit again.

Came with my friend who is a member here, great experience on tasting, friendly service and great wine.

After a recent trip to NOTL, Lailey Winery has become my favourite in the region! The wines are far superior to the others I have tried and I have to say our experience with Keith was 11/10. He was so knowledgeable and kind, the perfect host!! Lailey are lucky to have such a talent on their team. Will definitely be back!

I highly recommend Lailey winery. The staff were knowledgeable. They have an excellent selection of regional wines. The ice wine was comparable to any of the larger wineries in the area and the buy two get one free was the best value I found.

My recent stay at Riverbend Inn was mainly enjoyable, but I was disappointed to find that the King bed I had reserved was substituted with a Queen without any prior notice. The room itself was large; it was undoubtedly in need of some TLC. The Air Conditioning wasn't functional, and the heat was stuck on full blast in our bathroom. That said, I do appreciate the hotel staff’s efforts to make amends. We were offered a complimentary breakfast and a bottle of wine, which was a thoughtful gesture and certainly helped improve our experience. Overall, the service was friendly. The Breakfast was good, but I recommend confirming room details at check-in to avoid. Update: Management reached out to us today regarding the overbooking situation. They were very professional, informative and apologetic. Well done.

We stayed here for one night and overall had a nice experience. The hotel is beautiful — a charming historical building with a lovely atmosphere and a great location surrounded by vineyards. The territory is peaceful and scenic, and everything was very clean with plenty of fresh towels. They also offer a convenient transfer to their wineries, which was a great bonus. On the downside, the beds were quite old and uncomfortable, and the check-in time is a bit late (4 PM) while check-out is quite early (11 AM). Still, it’s a lovely place for a short stay if you want to enjoy the Niagara-on-the-Lake wine region. 🍷🏡

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. The Inn was very charming, loved being in the middle of a vineyard, and a 5 minute walk/bike ride to a beautiful trail along the river. The Inn was clean, staff was professional, and the room was large and nicely decorated. We were able to borrow bikes for a full day and rode along the river trail, to town, and hit multiple wineries for tasting along the way. Highly recommend and would definitely return!

Amazing location. Beautiful house and setting but quite a few issues for the price. WiFi is shocking. There are no common spaces, no reception type of area, no sitting space outside of your room. If you come with a group, be warned you will not be able to hang out together at the Inn. If it’s sunny and warm, you can sit on the lawn, but during dinner (4-8pm) you are not made to feel welcome and the one time we sat outside and read books I was asked 4 times if I was staying at the inn. Definitely didn’t feel welcome relaxing on the chairs there! The rooms are dark with very dated decor and poor lighting. The beds are fine, but linens are quite tired and cheap feeling. The bathroom is out of the 70’s with a fresh coat of lipstick applied. There is lots of hot water and good water pressure though, so you can have a nice bath in the plastic shower/tub combo. There is no counter space in the bathroom and no place to put your clothes in the bedroom. All outlets are used so don’t expect to be able to charge your phone or iPad. The Inn looks pretty and the staff are nice. We were there for a wedding and spent 3 night and a huge amount of money. I wouldn’t choose to stay there again unfortunately.

We love this place. Have stayed once a few years ago, and have had drinks/food on the patio twice over the past two summers. It's always so beautiful and peaceful. Just a truly stunning corner of vineyard Niagara. Hope to stay again in future. The prices just seem a bit unrealistic recently, unfortunately.

Such a beautiful hotel I wish I could’ve stayed longer. We stayed 3 nights in Niagara. The building itself is so beautiful, just driving up to it is a wow factor. The inside is decorated to match the outside with a grand chandelier right when you walk in. The room was large, but still cozy with a fireplace in it. Beds were comfy. The front desk staff were always very kind and check in process was quack and easy. The view from the property is so peaceful, I could sit in the Adirondack chairs all morning with a coffee and watch the vineyard. There are also fire tables in the yard to use at night time which was very nice. Bikes are available for use and they recently got a car for guests to use as a shuttle which was nice as we were able to book it for transportation to dinner so we didn’t have to worry about driving or Uber. We also didn’t find out until the last day that we get a free tasting at Peller as guests of the inn, so I wish I knew about that earlier. Location is great as it is walking distance from Peller and Two Sisters. It’s easy to get to the town and other wineries in the region. Breakfast at the hotel is good, but expensive for what you get and we only went once. Overall, I would come back next time I visit Niagara.

End of month pull up early afternoon on the bikes and order two glasses of wine 48$ with no option except an 18 or 20 % tip and this is at the bar. Then the server had the audacity to combine the old bottle with the new … big no no. Anyway Niagara give your head a shake and do better if you have the gall to charge these prices
