Canada’s Iconic Wine Destination
ANOTHER WORLD NEXT DOOR
The Birthplace of Modern Canadian Winemaking
In Niagara-on-the-Lake, wine isn’t just something we make — it’s part of who we are. For over 50 years, our winemakers have cultivated vines in soil rich with history, bordered by the lake and river that shape our unique climate. These are the vineyards that helped put Canada on the global wine map, thanks to a handful of pioneers who believed world-class wines could come from their own beautiful backyard.
Today, that spirit continues. With bold innovation, sustainable practices, and a new generation of talent, Niagara-on-the-Lake remains at the forefront of Canadian winemaking. From iconic Icewine to fresh, unexpected varietals, our wines reflect both where we’ve been and where we’re headed — always inspired by the land, the lake, and the people who call this place home.
NOTL NOTE:
This year marks the 50th anniversary of Inniskillin, Canada’s first estate winery. On July 31, 1975, Inniskillin was granted the country’s first winery license since Prohibition—right here in Niagara-on-the-Lake. The winery’s bold beginnings helped pave the way for Canada’s modern wine industry, and its award-winning Icewine continues to be celebrated around the world.
