In April our wine tasting group visited Kacaba Winery where we enjoyed their hospitality and tasted five samples of their wine. We learned about the history of the winery, and our hostess provided us with tasting notes as we sampled each wine. It is a beautiful property with friendly staff, and many of us have plans to return this summer to enjoy more wine on their patio. The wine and beer tasters visited the Niagara College Teaching Winery. We enjoyed sparkling wine on the patio, then we walked to the vineyard where we learned about winemaking and the challenges facing local winemakers. We sampled three beers and three wines made by the students. It’s a beautiful facility and it was interesting to learn about the courses offered locally to brewing and winemaking students in our area. https://ncteachingwinery.ca/ Bench Brewery is a such a warm and friendly place to visit. We rearranged the picnic tables so we could all sit together and enjoy the sunshine. Some of us had flights of 4 of their original beers, others had a glass of their favourite brew. Many of us also enjoyed snacks from their kitchen. It was a perfect, spring-like day with lots of lively conversation. Our group sampled wines in the cozy domes at Fielding, and because it was a such a warm day we didn’t even need the heaters. We made our selection of 4 samples from their wine list, and some of us ordered their charcuterie. Everyone appreciated the wines and the atmosphere at this beautiful winery. |
