Welcome to Ni

Plan your trip online: www.NiagaraW

From the roar of Niagara Falls, to the shores of Lake Ontario, a beautiful countryside awaits visitors seeking a diverse array of wineries and areas rich with history. Just minutes from Niagara Falls and Buffalo, our wineries extend down the Route 104 Corridor all the way to Rochester. The Niagara Wine Trail USA is located at Latitude 43 degrees North. The Niagara Escarpment AVA is naturally protected from crop damaging frost by Lake Ontario. The Lake acts as an efficient heat sink; moving wind towards it when the water is warmer than the air, and away from the Lake when it is cooler than the air.

Enjoy the many historic towns, restaurants, farm markets and quaint shops that comprise our area. Sip on the fine wines, ciders, and meads our area has to offer as your eyes drink in the views! The cool climate of Niagara USA enjoys long days during the growing season. Situated between the Niagara Escarpment and Lake Ontario, our geography has created a unique moderate microclimate, suitable for the production of fine wines including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah and Merlot. The wineries along the trail offer traditional vinifera styles, late harvest and ice wines. We also encourage you to try the unique styles along the trail, such as fruit wines, sparkling wine, mead (honey wine) and craft ciders. Our wineriesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; diverse offerings will please the palate of everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;from the novice to the most discerning wine connoisseur.

“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. 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. 3

Our many festivals relate to the harvest of the season, so always check our website for details. There’s always something to enjoy at Lake Ontario Winery and Vineyards, come spend your day with us! Family owned, and family run! The history of our business began as a unique apple cider and winemaking emporium in 1961. David N. Bower, Jr. is the owner and winemaker, David N. Bower, III the consulting winemaker and viticulturist, Lorraine Schiffhauer the event manager, and Emily E. Bower, is the social media intern.

The Oakes Family has a 100 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.

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. 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. 13
