8 CHEFS, 8 WINERIES, 1 ULTIMATE LAKESIDE BRUNCH BATTLE
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.
Want to take it up a notch?
Elevate your day with the VIP Experience, featuring reserved lakeside seating for 6 guests, elegant table settings with linens and floral accents, and a welcome bottle of Niagara Sparkling Wine to start your experience in style.
