June 20-22 & 27-29, the Summer Discovery Pass is back—and this year, we’re doubling the delight. For the first time ever, each mouthwatering culinary pairing will be served with two Niagara wines: a red and a white*, celebrating the iconic colours of the Canadian flag. It’s a tribute to the artistry of Niagara’s winemakers and a delicious way to explore the region, one sip at a time.

*Some wineries are pouring their signature rosé—because what’s summer without a little pink in your glass?
