8 CHEFS, 8 WINERIES, 1 ULTIMATE LAKESIDE BRUNCH BATTLE
Sunday, July 5 | 11:00am - 3:00pm
Charles Daley Park, Lincoln ON
Set against the breathtaking shoreline of Lake Ontario, Brunch by the Lake returns as one of the most anticipated culinary experiences of the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival.
Eight of Niagara’s top chefs team up with leading local wineries in a spirited, Top Chef–style brunch battle—each pairing bringing bold flavours, creative plates, and serious brunch bragging rights.
Taste your way through all eight chef-crafted dishes, each perfectly paired with a Niagara wine, while enjoying sweeping lake views and a relaxed late-summer atmosphere that feels like a celebration from the first bite to the last sip.
It’s no wonder this event has been ranked the #1 Niagara Grape & Wine Festival experience for the past three years.
