Niagara Icewine Festival
Festival
A midwinter celebration of icewine, a sweet dessert wine made from grapes frozen on the vine, in one of the world's leading icewine regions.
16 JAN
Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario, Canada
Niagara's climate makes it one of the world's most reliable regions for icewine production — a sweet, concentrated dessert wine made from grapes left on the vine until they freeze naturally, then pressed while still frozen. This midwinter festival celebrates that distinctly Canadian specialty across the wine region's wineries.
Outdoor ice bars, sleigh rides and tastings held right at the source make the festival feel genuinely suited to its season, rather than fighting against Ontario's harsh winter — the cold is, after all, the entire reason the wine exists.
