Seasonal Experiences and Pairings

Beginning Friday, October 31, guests are welcomed at participating wineries to enjoy eight distinct, holiday-inspired food and wine pairings. Every dish and sip is crafted to capture the warmth and spirit of the season.

Katie MacCabe, Marketing Manager at Niagara-on-the-Lake Wineries, says, “Taste the Season is a celebration truly inspired by the holiday, a time when guests can savour Niagara wines perfectly paired with food that captures the flavours and spirit of the season.”

Highlights of the Menu

Deconstructed shepherd’s pie with creamy mashed potatoes and Pinot Noir.
Thanksgiving sliders and hearty soups, perfect for cool November afternoons.

For Non-Alcoholic Enjoyment

Those who wish to skip the wine can still embrace the spirit of the season with warming beverages such as mulled apple cider or an autumn glow mimosa — each designed to echo the cozy essence of fall.

MacCabe adds, “Our wineries have put a lot of thought into their food, wine, and non-alcoholic pairings.”
