Once again, last weekend, we made the trip down to Niagara. It seems we always go down there! (ok I think we’ve only made 3 trips down this summer, but it still feels like a lot). What we did this time was to head over to the Riverbend Inn and Winery for lunch. Their lunch is pretty affordable and you have a choice to either sit on their patio facing the serene view of a lot of grape vines, or to sit in their somewhat classically decorated dining room. Although I guess you get what you pay for, because I thought the food was just mediocre.
After lunch, we tried to go to the Inniskillin wine tour but they were full. We ended up at the Hillebrand wine tour instead. We tasted a white, red and icewine for $10 but I think what I’ll remember is that our guide was horrible. He seemed like a coop student who was just hired and doesn’t know a lot about wine making in general. I think he would be better off memorizing his lines.
The most memorable part of the tour was a visit to their sparkling wine cellar. They had several walls full of sparkling wine bottles!
