Niagara’s Biggest Wine Weekend Returns This September

Get ready for an unforgettable celebration of Niagara’s finest wines, food, and music—because the Niagara Grape & Wine Festival is back this September!

This iconic tradition transforms historic Montebello Park into the ultimate festival destination, where more than 100 Niagara VQA wines flow, live music fills the air, and the region’s best local cuisine takes center stage. 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.
