Niagara on the Lake - Winery Tours

We awoke early and after a refreshing 2 hour walk,we had our first delicious breakfast at our B&B.



 
 We collected a winery map then set out to explore them.

 
 
 
 
The first two were small family owned wineries. Next we did a tour of a larger winery. They explained about growing the vines, how to protect them from insects & disease. They also showed us their harvesting process. Afterwards. We we toured the cellar where we were educated on barrell selection & fermentation. We were then treated to a tasting where we had our first taste of "ice wine" Hubby really liked it.



 
 

We enjoyed a fresh handmade pizza topped with local herbs & veggies, very tasty.

After our full day of wine country, we had a delicious supper at an Irish pub. Hubby chose Irish Stew, while I had corn beef & cabbage.
