Good to know

Icewine is sweet and rich, so the pours are small; drink water between stops and eat something before the last one. Icewine usually comes in half bottles, which makes it an easy gift to carry home.

Plan B · For Icewine with dessert in Niagara Falls

Lundy Manor Wine Cellars pairs three Icewines with homemade baked goods, $25. Check its days on its page; it is closed some weekdays.

Getting there and back

Niagara-on-the-Lake is about an hour and a half from Toronto on the QEW. All three stops are within about 10 minutes of each other.
