GRAPE & WINE 2025
Did you know Canada’s oldest and largest wine festival happens in the heart of Niagara?
The Niagara Grape & Wine Festival is more than a celebration - it’s Niagara’s annual homecoming, where tradition meets taste in the heart of wine country. Each September, historic Montebello Park transforms into the ultimate festival destination, welcoming locals and visitors for four unforgettable days.
Beneath a canopy of trees in one of Niagara’s most beautiful parks, explore over 100 Niagara VQA wines in one place, paired with mouth-watering local cuisine and live music all weekend long. From dancing under the stars to exclusive VIP lounges and elevated tastings, it’s the perfect way to celebrate harvest and everything that makes Niagara special.
Save the date - this is the party of the year, and you won’t want to miss it!
