Niagara-on-the-Lake, Hillebrand Winery

 Harvest Table, Cellar 63


Hillebrand Winery


This past weekend I went to Hillebrand Winery located in Ontario’s wine country on Niagara-on-the-Lake for a wonderful tour and tasting! With a group of friends on hand the tour was a fantastic time that had us all eager to sample a variety of wines!

The setting was beautiful and the winery had a very cozy feel to it. We were there during the Trius Campfire Chili event (January 21, 22, 28 & 29) where people were relaxing around the campfire while eating Chef Frank Dodd’s Icewine Chili! Our tour and tasting were fantastic and I even bought home a couple bottles of the 2010 Trius Cabernet Sauvignon. Delish!

 Queen Street, Niagara-on-the-Lake


After the tasting we went to the Icewine Festival located in Queen Street in Niagara-on-the Lake. We had so much fun! This outdoor festival had wineries all around the region showcasing their Icewine while people listened to live Jazz and ate some delicious food pairings.  I am eager to visit again!
