Ontario Wine Tourism, Niagara Region

Canada’s Niagara Peninsula in Ontario is considered a cool climate viticulture region, like Burgundy, Germany, Oregon and New Zealand. These regions are ideally suited for the growing of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling as well as Gamay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Blanc, Viognier, Chenin Blanc and Icewine. Quality Pinot Noir such as Inniskillin’s Reserve Pinot Noir is best created under the cool climate conditions the Niagara Peninsula affords, where its elegance and finesse can find proper expression.
