Ontario Icewine is one of Canada’s most cherished products. Celebrate for three weekends in January as the Niagara Region is transformed into a wintry wonderland.
Celebrating 20 years this year, the Niagara Icewine Festival offers plenty for every taste, from elegant gala evenings to irresistible wine and food pairings and outdoor activities from exploring Ice Street Villages to marshmallow roasting along the famed wine route.
If you haven't attended the Niagara Ice Wine Festival and you love wine then you must plan on going next January. There are still many events happening next weekend as well. I was there this past weekend and what a fun time. All of the wineries host special events and one in particular that we attended was at Pellar Estates where there were tours, and several different events taking place. We went for the ice wine tasting and wine infused marshmallow roasting. Need I say more - yum!
Over the weekend the town closed a portion of the main street and all of the different wineries were set up in their own booths as well as the different restaurants who had many delicious food offerings. Great idea so no driving involved. There were ice sculptures including 'cruiser' type ice tables and and fire pits set up with chairs around them for a little relaxing if you were so inclined.

After a fantastic dinner at the Grill on King, www.grillonking.ca we headed out from our room on the main street to enjoy the evening of Sparkle & Ice which is a celebration with Niagara-on-the- Lake Icewinemakers and their VQA wines paired with Icewine inspired tastings and contest. While tasting the offerings, we had a live band to keep the spirits happy. Such fun!n evening of Spa
