Niagara Icewine Festival
Weekends in mid-to-late January each year
Weekends in mid-to-late January each year Queen Street & wineries across Niagara-on-the-Lake
For three winter weekends, Niagara leans into the cold: the Icewine Festival celebrates the region's most famous export with outdoor tasting villages, icewine cocktails, ice bars carved on Queen Street and pairings at wineries across NOTL and the Bench.
It's the prettiest time of year to see Old Town — heritage storefronts, string lights and a glass of Vidal icewine in a snow-dusted street.
Realtor's Local Tip
Buy the tasting passport in advance and book dinner in Old Town early — January is the one month reservations are harder than summer. This festival single-handedly makes winter a selling point for NOTL living.
