“Eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart.” ~ Ecclesiastes 9:7 Opened in 2010, Chateau Niagara Winery is located on a thirty-one acre parcel adjacent to Eighteen Mile Creek in Newfane, NY. The well-drained, sandy and gravelly soils provide the perfect environment for wine grape growing, and our choice of location is reflected in the quality of our wines. Our winery and vineyard is family owned and operated. We take pride in handcrafting our estate produced wines. Our dry wine offerings include: Chardonnay, Riesling, Gerwürztraminer, Pinot Noir and a blend of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, A Hungarian blend called Bulls Blood, and a Cabernet Franc Varietal. We also produce two dessert wines- A La Mode which is a wine made to taste like apple pie and Kagor which is a Russian style dessert wine.

Owners Ann & Martin Schulze

The Schulze Family invites you to gather around our charming cherry wood bar and experience wine making at its finest. We are an Estate Winery, producing vinifera, hybrids and native grapes. Our commitment to growing the highest quality grapes is the hallmark of our award-winning wines. Situated on 120 acres of land just minutes from Lake Ontario, we offer a gorgeous country setting and view of the vineyards. Our winery is handicapaccessible, dog friendly, and we offer gifts from local artisans as well as wine related items. Tour groups are welcome. Award winning Ice Wines are produced from our vineyards and developed in the traditional Eiswein method. Cuvée Reserve and Siegfried Brut, our sparkling wines, are fermented in the classic Methode Champenoise style. Tiny Bubbles, a prosecco style wine, is carbonated. French and American Oak barrels are used to age three of our wines: Chardonnay Reserve, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc. One of our more unique hybrids, Siegfried, makes a wonderful off-dry white wine. We also have a nice variety of sweet wines made from native grapes including Concord, Niagara and Catawba.

Let us warmly welcome you to our tasting room to sample our wines, see where they are produced, and to share our passion for wine. Find us on Facebook and Twitter. 1

Victoria and Daniel Hogue, Proprietors

“Drink wine and you will sleep well. Sleep, and you will not sin. Avoid sin, and you will be saved. Ergo, drink wine and be saved.” ~ Medieval German Proverb Nestled on the gentle slopes along the south shore of Lake Ontario, Victorianbourg Wine Estate labors to create world class wines from the classic European wine grapes. The combination of the lake, and the unique air flows generated by the Niagara Escarpment, bestow here one of the best climates in the world to create fine wines. Come visit and enjoy our European style wines, from dry to sweet. Enjoy tasting our wines on a patio beside a fountain overlooking the vineyards, or while strolling through our unique rose garden, with more than 40 varieties of roses all with “Victoria” in the name.

Hitch up your team and join us for great wines and good times! Come together with family and friends and enjoy a variety of wines produced with grapes from our vineyards. Red or White, Sweet or Dry – we have something all will enjoy. Or maybe you and your city slickers would like to try our Hard Cider by the glass, or fill a growler and take it back to the “Old Homestead!” Check our website for monthly special events, wine food pairing dinners, craft shows, happy hours, and cooking with wine classes. Our winery is also available for your small weddings, parties and special events.

Our vineyard cultivation practices are based on the Burgundian model: high density of plantings to limit the yield from any one vine to concentrate the flavors, low training of the grapes to absorb stored heat from the soil, hand picking to avoid damage to the grapes. The majority of our wines are designed to complement food, relatively dry, with only minimal oak and then only when the effect is to add complexity to the wine, never to overpower the taste of the fruit. We also offer a line of classic sweeter wines, crafted with the same care in both the vineyard and the winery as our signature dry wines and a line of sparkling wines, from dry to sweet, to complement every taste and to make any occasion special.

“Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared.” ~ Nehemiah 8:10 At 810 Meadworks, we start with honey, and make mead with black currants, pomegranates, cucumbers, coffee beans, ghost chilis, tea leaves, hops, lavender . . . and we’ve just begun to explore the possibilities.

The Oakes Family has a 90 year history of ties to agriculture and the land in the northwest corner of Orleans County. In 2003 we planted our first wine grapes. From that initial planting of six acres and fourteen varieties has evolved what is known today as Leonard Oakes Estate Winery. Our winery is named in honor of our founder, the first of what is now four generations to farm some of the same land. The unique and fertile soils left behind by the glaciers of the last ice age combined with a climate moderated by the gentle breezes and deep waters of Lake Ontario provide us with one of the few remaining untapped viticultural resources in the world.

If you think you don’t like mead, you probably haven’t found the right one yet! Our meads range from dry to sweet; some are carbonated or used to make amazing cocktails. We also feature our own handcrafted fine chocolates and delicious tasting plates. We are located in downtown Medina in the historic Newell Shirt Factory building along with the Shirt Factory Café, the Hart House Hotel and our own courtyard/ concert venue, the Beegarten.

R Drink Responsibly. Those little ounces add up! In between tastings quench your thirst with a non-alcoholic beverage.

R Use the spill bucket. Every tasting bar provides a spill bucket for

unwanted wine. This allows you to taste several wines without over imbibing.

R Cleanse your palate. If a tasting bar provides crackers or some other neutral food it is there for the purpose of cleansing your palate between tastes.

R Many wines are available only at the winery so if you enjoyed it and your budget allows, by all means purchase it.

R State Liquor Laws do NOT allow the consumption of outside liquor products on our premises. Therefore, ALL beer, wine from other wineries, and spirits must remain in the vehicle.

R Offensive clothing or items will not be permitted. Please be respectful in your language and behavior.

R A tasting policy is listed on our website and digital group policy booklet for your convenience and reference.

R Be patient with your wine server. Wine tasting should be an educational and enjoyable experience.

R Please be respectful keep your voice & stereo volume at a reasonable level.

R Dispose of trash and cigarette butts in the appropriate containers. R Groups & Limos must call ahead at least 10min before arrival so wineries may provide the best service possible.

R Please be on your best behavior. A winery may refuse service at their discretion for displays of lewd or drunken behavior. 13

RSVP! Some of our wineries require calling ahead to make reservations for groups of 10 or more.

Plan Ahead! Ask wineries on your itinerary:

• What are your tasting fees for groups? • Are reservations required? • What are the hours the winery can accommodate large groups? • Are there special requirements or amenities for large groups? • Is there special parking for limos and buses? • Is “party paraphernalia” (glasses, balloons, straws etc)allowed?

Arrival Time: If your group is reserved a certain time, please let the winery know if you are behind schedule.
