Support Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries at Taste the Season

If you're an Ontario resident looking for a fun way to pass a weekend this fall, we recommend that you check out Taste the Season at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

A celebration of Vintners Quality Alliance (VQA) wines, with 22 local wineries participating, Taste the Season offers guests a chance to explore each of the participating wineries and try some of their wine and food pairings.

Here is a sneak peek of some of the wine and food pairings:

• A 2008 Vidal Icewine is paired with an Apricot Cheesecake at Lailey
• Château des Charmes is offering their 2008 Estate Bottled Riesling with Cucumber and Yam Tempura and a Spicy Sauce Sushi Roll
• Strewn is pairing their 2006 Merlot with a Potato and Parsnip Mash
• Niagara College is serving the 2007 Cabernet Franc with a Caramelized Apple and Chicken Ragout garnished with Aged White Cheddar

For a complete list of VQA wine and food pairings, visit Wineries of Niagara-on-the- Lake. 

Taste the Season will be running each weekend in November and guests can purchase Season Touring Passes for $44.25 per person, which will allow them to explore and taste at all participating wineries for a weekend. With their pass, each guest receives a complimentary 6-bottle reusable tote bag.

Season Touring Passes can be purchased online or by calling 905.468.1950.
