Nestled on the slope of the Niagara Escarpment, our winery and signature restaurant are one of the most memorable stops on the wine route. Besides our store and tasting bar that reside within our circa 1877 "wooden cathedral" log barn, you can also visit our acclaimed, "Top Twenty Winery Restaurant in the World" for true local cuisine.
Chef George and his passionate team present all that is fine, local and fresh. Our winemaker Brian celebrates near 30 years of devotion to this 180 acre parcel with world renown Cabernet Franc, expressive Riesling, rare Pinot Meunier and memorable Chardonnay. Patrons will need to show a valid government issued ID along with their proof of vaccination.

Services
As one of Niagara's first winery restaurants and a forerunner of Niagara's flourishing wine and culinary scene, we offer cuisine featuring ingredients from local purveyors prepared by an internationally trained team of chefs. Guests dine indoors in the renovated 1845 farmhouse or outdoors on the newly renovated deck.
Please note that all tastings and tours are by reservation only or "by chance". To serve you better, we prefer reservations but if we just happen to have an opening when you drop in, we will do all we can to accommodate you. STILL, if you just drop in, we are sorry but we can't promise that we will have a spot for you and your party.
Now the time comes to plan how you will share this milestone in your lives with friends and family. In this intimate venue, your guests will enjoy stunning views and fine cuisine with premium wines. You will enjoy working with our professional service staff, who will work with you to help customize an unforgettable day.
What better way to experience wine country than to stay on property at the winery, steps from your tasting, touring and dining experience?. Vineland Estates Winery operates two accommodation options adjacent to our estate vineyards. Our Bed and Breakfast Cottage and Estate Guest House provide the ideal wine country getaway, conveniently located in the heart of the Bench area minutes from the Queen Elizabeth Way.
If you answered yes to all of the above then let us help you develop your career path by joining our team today! Vineland Estates is looking for people that are motivated and keen to grow in our ever expanding wine, food and hospitality business! Please note, applicants must already have legal permission to work in Canada to be considered.

Incredible food and wine pairings at the restaurant! This place has been our favourite winery in the area for many years now and it never disappoints. Their many different Rieslings are amazing- their late harvest one was what impressed us to begin with and then their boteek Rieslings kept us coming back for more! I wish their wedding venue allowed more people as I would have loved to host my wedding here.

The place that made me fall in love with food all over again!! And I am not exaggerating when I say that. I have very choosy taste buds but everything they served on the table I could not criticize one single bit.
I felt like the rat of ratatouille rediscovering flavor combinations in a complete different way. By the way.. does your chef take cooking lessons 😜.. I can take those especially for your mushroom flour gnocchi.

All the food was beautifully plated and the taste did not disappoint. very nice and amazing servers.
would definitely come here again, great place to come during the summer time and wine season especially in the outdoor patio with the wonderful view!
we had the sourdough bread and charcuterie board to share, the tomato coconut soup and the heirloom beet salad to start, the mushroom flour gnocchi as an entrée, and vanilla gelato to end the delicious lunch as a dessert.

Delicious food. Lovely patio with an expansive and unobstructed view of the vineyards and Lake Ontario. Service isn’t rushed, however the waiter was slow in serving and recommending wine pairings. We had the cheese platter to share, the halibut, gnocchi and steak. Cheese platter was our favourite. Gardens are beautiful.

My wife surprised me with a birthday trip to Vineland estates (before the pandemic) and I've been thinking about the next time we can visit this place ever since. It's a beautiful location and the meal was fantastic from entree to main (we had quail and fish and both were outstanding) to dessert. Also purchased a bottle of delicious vodka and Canadian icewind to go. A must visit if you're touring the region.
