I normally like visiting smaller wineries, in order to taste wines that aren't usually available at the LCBO or Winerack, but I wanted the chance to also check out a winery of more well known brands, such as Trius. This winery is so much larger and impressive compared to the wineries I'm used to. The grounds are stunning, and I... More

We really, really want to support Ontario wines and vineyards. We have spent a lot of time in California wine country, while in Cali on business. I think that Trius has picked up some tips from these wineries as far as set up is concerned, and I would LOVE to see them take it to the next level and become... More

We just got back from a trip up to Niagara-on-the-lake with friends. We went to many wineries and enjoyed the beautiful spring weather. Tulips and daffodiles were in full bloom and the weather was warm! Truis was just wonderful.

Wine tasting was a little more expensive than other wineries we visited this day. 3 samples for $7 but they deduct that amount if you make a purchase, Somewhat colder reception and rushed tasting. Not as friendly as other stops we made. This place is right off the main road and therefore seemed more commercialized. The personal touch of the... More

We went to the winery tour at Trius Hillebrand and loved it. The Tour guide was fun, energetic and we learnt so much about the process of making Ontario wine. And to top it off at the end, a great wine tasting session. We will definitly go back for another tour during the summer months as the vineyards will be... More

Wonderful Winery with a great selection of wines for tasting and for sale. After the tasting we had dinner at the restaurant and it was top notch. Great meal with lovely suggestions of wine pairings to accompany every dish. It was a real treat.

I have booked a sparkling wine tasting with a dinner and Trius. At first I was a tad nervous, 9 women ages 20-40, but Fran (our guide) was a hoot! Funny and kept us entertained through out the whole experience. The wine was delicious, the pairings were surprising and we have learned so much. We had a set menu, and... More

This is a great winery. We did the Harvest Lunch (three course lunch with wine pairings) followed by the tour and tasting. I was so impressed with the wines that I joined their wine club and am looking forward to receiving my first two bottles. A great experience delivered by very knowledgeable and passionate employees.

The lady that gave the tour was an absolute riot and told stories and gave insight on the wines there and that region. There was just 2 couples so it was almost a private less formal feel. I left thinking I was definitely purchasing some product today.
