Spaces & Rental Rates

A unique Niagara wine country venue.

“Our rehearsal lunch was the ideal way to introduce our wedding party to the beautiful atmosphere at the winery, the delicious food, and the perfectly paired wines they would get to enjoy at our wedding. We left our rehearsal confident that our wedding was going to be a wonderful event. The staff exceeded our expectations; the winery's Special Event Manager explained every step of the process to us and alleviated all our wedding 'jitters,' and the staff went out of their way to help us, even going so far as to cut a few roses from the winery's garden for us to use as centerpieces!”
