For four incredible days, Niagara’s biggest park party becomes Canada’s largest wine-tasting bar—welcoming locals and visitors alike to sip, swirl, and celebrate harvest in the heart of wine country.
What to Expect
Beneath Montebello Park’s canopy of trees, you’ll find:
100+ Niagara wines from over 20 local wineries
Mouth-watering bites from Niagara chefs and culinary partners
Non-stop live music all weekend long
VIP lounges, elevated tastings, and dancing under the stars
It’s more than a festival—it’s Niagara’s annual homecoming, where tradition meets taste in one unforgettable setting.
